Awesome and Easy!

I purchased this after much debate about whether or not I needed a two quart ice cream maker or just go with the original Cuisinart $49.95 one. I am so glad i bought this one. It is so great. Easy to use makes alot of ice creamso sleek looking.



I have a tiny kicthen and everytime I turn around I am buying something that will clutter my counterspace but I have to say this I don't mind. It is square not to bulky and the cord fits nicely up inside the machine. It doesn't dangle or anything. It's right next to my KitchenAid.



I have made two recipes out of the manual that comes with the machine. I usually don't like "manual recipes" however these are fantastic. The Mango Gelato was a huge hit with family and friends. One girl who doesn't like ice cream liked it. The simple ice creams that dont require making a custard you just mix all the ingredients together and freeze I was thinking it would be terrible. It wasn't so you can make ice cream in 30minutes from start to finish with those recipes.



I do keep the bowl in the freezer like others suggested with the smaller ice cream maker. It has been very useful to have it already frozen when I am ready to make ice cream.



As far as noise it is not as quiet as I thought but don't let that scare you. It's not like turning on a blender and leaving it running for 25 minutes. It's not an annoying noise. Not like the old ice cream makers with the ice and stuff. It is fun to watch it churn too. So the noise just fades to the background.



It's very interactive and a great thing to do with kids and company.



I really can't say enough good. One of the best appliance investments I have mad yet.More detail ...

Simply Great Ice Cream

As this product had not been reviewed yet I read several reviews for the Cuisinart ICE-20 Ice Cream Maker before making my decision to purchase this product. Many comments about the ICE-20 mentioned that the ice cream is the consistency of soft serve; some reviewers said it was too soft. I did not find that issue with the ice cream I made with this ice cream maker. I turned my freezer to the coldest setting and froze the bowl for 7 hours. I could not hear any liquid moving in the bowl at that point so I assumed it was solidly frozen. I made the Simple Vanilla Ice Cream recipe from the booklet that came with the machine. After about 20 minutes the ice cream was nicely textured and creamy. It wasn't as hard as the packed ice cream you purchase at the store so I guess you might say the consistency was somewhere between soft serve and store-bought: firmer than soft serve but not as firm as hard pack. As reviewers of the ICE-20 pointed out if the ice cream was frozen as solidly as hard pack in the machine it would be difficult to remove it from the container.



The ice cream is simply wonderful. It has a fresh pure taste that outshines anything I could purchase from the store. I bought it mainly because I wanted to have control of my ingredients. I want to use organic products as much as possible and I want to experiment with soy ice creams; I have thought I might want to get away from dairy products altogether.



This product was listed as the newest version of the ICE-20 and as an upgrade that improves upon the ICE-20 while still keeping its popular features. I don't know what the upgrade consists of but I can say that in 20-25 minutes I had really excellent ice cream that I thought was the perfect consistency. After freezing it for a couple of hours it was firmer and I liked it at that consistency too. I was thinking about how great this ice cream would be with warm apple pie because tasting it really is like tasting fresh vanilla cream. But we're a couple of months away from apple pie season! This product couldn't be simpler to use and I think it will pay for itself fairly quickly in savings over the cost of premium purchased ice cream. And it just tastes better.More detail ...

Delivers on what it promises - just make sure you understand what it promises!

In reading the reviews for this product I've noticed that some people may have been expecting something more than what Cuisinart is selling. Having used this unit several times now here are my impressions and thoughts.

- The unit uses a freezer bowl to freeze the product. That means that the bowl MUST be frozen solid and the product MUST be very well chilled otherwise you will not get good results. We have just kept our freezer bowls in the deep freeze when not in use so that we can make ice cream fairly quickly. It's probably best to mix up your soft serve mix at least an hour in advance and put it in the coldest part of your fridge or (as another reviewer suggested) in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to get it as cold as possible without prematurely freezing it.

- The freezer bowl doesn't have a huge capacity. It can make "10-12" servings - if your servings are small. 6-8 is probably more like it. If you want more make certain you purchase an additional bowl and keep it frozen.

- The instructions on time expectations generally say 10-15 minutes and this can be true if you chill the ice cream mixture very thoroughly. Otherwise it will take longer probably more like 15-20 minutes.

- The first serving or so may be fairly soupy - I have found that I can dispense some into a cup and then re-add that into the top of the bowl.

- The "mix-ins" really don't mix in to the soft serve at all they are really topping dispensers. If you're expecting something like a DQ Blizzard it's not the same. Also don't over-fill (or pack in) the mix in bins. I've had good luck with chopped peanuts sprinkles and the mini M&Ms.



The differences between this unit and a more conventional ice cream freezer are mainly that this unit has a freezable bowl vs. a bowl that is placed in a mix of ice and rock salt. That means it is a little more convenient but lacks the capacity of the conventional freezer. Our ice cream freezer makes about twice as much ice cream as the soft serve but it is much louder generally requires more clean up and doesn't dispense the product. On the other side I think a conventional freezer has more versatility if you are making things like frozen custards that set up harder than soft serve. Finally the freezer just isn't really as much "fun" as this one is which has real appeal if you've got kids in the family.



Overall I've really enjoyed this gadget - but I did some research first and made certain I understood what I was buying. This is NOT like the soft serve dispensers in restaurants - but it's very nice for a treat on a summer afternoon.
