For example, mine requires I run the motor 2-3 minutes before adding layers of ice and rock salt to the bucket. Then I let it churn for about 25-30 minutes {time will vary} or until the motor slows down considerably. Remove the motor top, sweep off any ice and salt from the canister lid, scrape the mixer paddle, and divvy up into Mason jars. I use my canning scraper to remove air bubbles before placing the lid on. Store in the freezer, removing 10-15 minutes prior to serving to let sorbet soften slightly.
