Keeping the ice cream at a safe temperature is important in maintaining the texture and flavor of the ice cream. If the ice cream is not stored at the right temperature, then it will melt pretty quickly. If the ice cream melts once, it is not possible to gain its texture by freezing the ice cream again. If the ice cream is not stored properly, it can cause adverse changes in the texture and flavor of the ice cream. The temperature of the freezer should be kept under -20 degrees F. at this temperature the ice cream will be frozen thoroughly and will be hard to touch. If the ice cream defrosts slowly, there will be ice crystals formed on the ice cream.
The ice cream should be frozen below the freezer line. It may mean that the full capacity of the appliance is not used to its full extent. But the ice cream will be stored in the best possible conditions.
