A wave of discovery | Small Hard Ice Cream Machine

Fridge temperatures and cooling consistency are faultless, the Fresh Zone meat and fish drawer is perfect, and its running noise so quiet you won’t hear it. It lacks a few features – such as split shelves, roller drawers, and a freezer light – from Samsung’s flagship Chef Collection models, but it’s cheaper.

This isn’t the most high-tech gift in the world, but with a little creativity, this silicone Death Star mold can go a long way. Most commonly used for superweapon-shaped ice cubes, the mold can also be filled with chocolate, cake, or ice cream for a truly delicious indulgence. If you’re feeling confident in the kitchen, try a hard chocolate outer shell with a fudge or peanut butter center.
