Popular appliance brand Dash makes a variety of kitchen gadgets, all of them aesthetically pleasing and shockingly affordable for the most part. Perusing its website will have you ooh-ing and aww-ing over a plethora of mini makers, air fryers, popcorn poppers, and most tempting to me, a shaved ice maker.
Granted, Iâm skeptical of shave ice and shave ice makers outside of Hawaii, where I grew up. Light, powdery shave ice was coaxed into globes larger than my head, so now I expect all shave ice to be fluffyâand no, thereâs no âdâ in Hawaiian shave ice. The only time Iâve enjoyed a shave ice on the mainland that approximated the profound airiness of Hawaiian shave ice was by collecting snow during a blizzard and dousing it with lilikoi syrup. I put my skepticism aside to see if the Dash Shaved Ice Maker could recreate the shave ice of my childhood.
