    {
      "question": "Which container should I buy for homemade ice cream?",
      "answer": "We Tried It All recommends Tovolo Glide-A-Scoop Ice Cream Tub for a full batch. The 1.5-quart tub gives a scoop room to travel in a straight line, but it needs a long stretch of freezer shelf. Choose the Tovolo Sweet Treats Tub for smaller batches or separate flavors. Its round, stackable shape and flexible lid suit that job, but each tub holds only one quart."
    },
    {
      "question": "Will a five-cup batch fit in one tub?",
      "answer": "Yes in the 1.5-quart Glide-A-Scoop, which holds six cups. The Sweet Treats holds four cups, so set aside a second container for the last cup."
    },
    {
      "question": "Which tub makes sense if I split a batch into two flavors?",
      "answer": "Two Sweet Treats tubs let you keep each flavor under its own lid and stack the tubs together. For example, split six cups of finished ice cream evenly and each one-quart tub holds three cups with room to spare."
