 Ridiculously good stuff Nov 23, 2009
I've had terrific results with this making ice cream, yogurt, & especially sorbets. The learning curve is quick enough to be fun & complex enough to keep you busy for a while. Freezing dulls the taste buds, so your base - whatever it is - should taste just a little too sweet, a little too strong (this is one of the reasons why melted ice cream is kinda... gross). This also makes it important to concentrate flavors, which can be a challenge.
Here's a recipe template: SLOWLY reduce 2 cups of wine by half - I use a slow cooker with the lid off - it takes hours, but you don't have to do anything. If you want, infuse the wine with herbs, spices, citrus peel, small frogs, whatever, during this time (it may take more than you think to have the right presence). Strain if necessary. Stir in 2/3 - 1 cup sugar, till dissolved. Add this syrup to 2-3 cups fruit juice or puree. Add something for a little tartness, if necessary, a couple of teaspoons vodka or other appropriate liquor (or perhaps a couple tablespoons of raw wine), chill the base well & proceed.
I second all the advice about having everything cold & working quickly once the cannister comes out of the freezer. I took & extended a couple of tips in the reviews: I store the cannister in the freezer with 3 freezer-gel packs inside it, & I cover the top hole of the machine with a freezer-gel pack wrapped in a dish towel while the machine's working.
Have fun.
Must Have! Nov 21, 2009
I love ice cream and now I can make it and eat it in 20 minutes! I keep two bowls in the freezer so I always have one ready to use. I fix the ingredients first, then take the bowl out of the freezer, pour in the mix and 20 minutes later have ice cream. I have made many kinds of ice cream, all turning out well, using Ben & Jerry's basic recipe. Every kitchen needs this appliance!
Rich, Yummy Ice Cream EZ, EZ, EZ!! Nov 19, 2009
How did I live without this?? It literally takes me five minutes to put together the ingredients for basic vanilla ice cream, then let this wonderful machine do its thing for 30 minutes and you're done! No cranking, no rolling, no watching over it... just plain EZ. I add 1/2cup of cocoa powder for a rich dark chocolate flavor, throw in cookies, fresh or frozen fruit, there's no end to the choices! Makes a full quart of ice cream in each batch.
**Hint** It you're giving this as a gift - take the freezer-bowl out of the box and freeze it for 24hrs prior to giving it. (having to wait for that just KILLED me!!)
 Ice cream decoded - it's good and we know the ingredients! Nov 17, 2009
This machine is simple to use and does what it says it will do. We have created sorbet and rich ice cream with it and are pleased with both. It is ideal for producing small quantities of ice cream (a quart and a half), but would not work if you needed large quantities. We are experimenting with ingredients and recipes and it is clear the sky is the limit in terms of what ingredients could be used. We are very pleased with the purchase.
Great investment! Nov 12, 2009
I bought this because I love ice cream and can't have many of the "preservatives" in store brands and I can't afford the price of high end natural ice creams. Thinking worse case scenario the grandkids would love it I made my first batch of ice cream using fat free half and half, it was amazing!
As for the noise it makes, I discovered that setting it on a folded towel on the counter cuts down on the noise alot. My husbands plan is setting it up in the laundry room, closing the door and setting a time, lol that works too.
I usually only have to place container in the frezer for 6 hours before using it so I think freezing time depends on type of freezer and settings.
What I like teh most is how easy it is to make ice cream and the clean up is also fast and easy.
I'm getting each of my adult children one for Christmas gifts this year.
