   Works well
   I read reviews on this and a couple said its loud. I don’t think it is. My stand mixer is louder. Besides, it runs for 30 minutes at the most. If you have children waiting for ice cream they likely will be squealing with excitement and mask the sound as they watch.It says to chill the bowl for 6 to 24 hours. If that isn’t completely frozen you won’t get the results you want. Make sure all your ingredients are COLD! Put any mix-ins in the fridge/freezer.The recipes that come with it are great and taste good. The vanilla was a bit to sweet for me so I reduced the sugar by half.Its very easy to use, assembled (bowl/paddle/lid) and it cleans up easilyI recommend this

   Excellent ice cream machine, know how to take care of it, you will be rewarded.
   This is a very good ice cream machine for its class (home use, freezer bowl). I’d owned the 1 1/2 quart Cusinart model and liked it a lot. Then someone in my house put the drum in the dishwasher and I found out when I tried to make a batch of ice cream that wouldn’t freeze. Using the 1 1/2 quart model I was always scaling down recipes or hovering over the ice cream as it churned with a spoon, stealing spoonfuls ice cream as it threatened to overflow the ice cream maker because I overfilled it (not that I really minded that). I like the 2 quart size for those reasons,If you’ve never owned one of these types of ice cream makers before, here’s an overview. There are two main parts as far as what makes the ice cream. There is a paddle and a drum, aka the freezer bowl. The night before you intend to make ice cream (or earlier) park your clean freezer bowl in the coldest part of your freezer overnight. This is essential that the bowl be frozen through with no sloshing sound. This drum is what chills the ice cream.When you’re ready to make the ice cream, put the frozen freezer bowl into the base of the ice cream machine, put the paddle in and put the top on, start the machine and then pour your cold (repeat COLD) ice cream mixture into the freezer bowl as it runs. The cold of the freezer bowl chills the ice cream mixture, the paddle scraps the sides of the freezer bowl as it turns which scrapes off the freezing ice cream incorporating it back into the ice cream mixture and churns air into the mixture. Let the machine run for 20ish minutes. Give it a peak every once in a while because watched ice cream never freezes ;). When it’s done, you’ll hear the motor struggle a bit more because of the thickness of the ice cream, the ice cream will be soft serve consistency and will be done as far as its adventure with the machine. From here you could eat it as soft serve, or scoop out the ice cream into a freezer safe container and freeze it for a few hours. let the freezer bowl warm up a little, then wash by hand with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.The negative comments that people have left seem mostly to be due to them not understanding how this machine works or that they expected something different, or both. Yes, you have to freeze the bowl overnight — that’s how this type of ice cream machine chills ice cream. It doesnt have its own refridgeration unit. If you want that, then pay 5x+ the price for a different type of machine. No, this machine doesn’t produce solid hard ice cream — it produces soft serve consistency because it churns and you can’t churn rock solid ice cream. And You MUST WASH THE FREEZER BOWL BY HAND. This isn’t a “to keep it looking it’s best” issue like you sneak your pots and pans in the dishwasher even though you shouldn’t — the heat from the dishwasher will destroy the freezing liquid in the bowl and the bowl will never make ice cream again. You can tell that a well meaning relative put your bowl in the dishwasher because the bowl will still sound sloshy even though it’s been freezing for days.The It Never Froze My Ice Cream comments — the person either put their freezer bowl in the dishwasher or the bowl wasn’t cold enough. Or the freezer bowl was defective.The It Won’t Make Ice Cream Immediately, It Makes Soft Serve…comments — that’s true, but that’s how this machine works.Some have commented that they have to let the finished ice cream (after being I the freezer) sit on the counter for 15 minutes until they can scoop it. My suggestions are: 1. Use more fat in your recipe, 2. Let it churn more air as the machine runs, 3. Know that most commercial ice creams have a ton of what they call “overhead” which is basically air in the ice cream. You may notice that the same volume of two different brands of ice cream weigh differently. Ultra premium brands like Haagen Daaz have little overhead compared to, say most grocery store brands. Lower quality ice creams also have thickeners and stabilizers that hold the ice cream together but keep it from really forming solid. Ever leave a bowl of ice cream on the counter overnight and the next day it’s a little melted but mostly in the same shape? That’s the stabilizers. All of this makes commercial ice cream soft and easy to scoop even though it’s frozen. Take heart that better quality ice creams like the one you are making are naturally harder when frozen, and therefore may take a sturdy ice cream scoop and perhaps a little muscle to scoop. On properly made ice creams (enough fat, enough churning) I’ve never made a batch too hard to scoop straight from the freezer.In short, this machine works beautifully and its make quality ice cream. I’m very happy with it.

   Hands Down a Great Product!!!!
   First, I want to say that I’ve priced out quite a few 2 quart ice cream makers and this was definitely a great bargain. It’s really simple to use. There’s literally only four parts to putting it together. You can look at the pictures and do it. Is very compact that it fits on my counter perfectly without taking up a lot of counter space, which I need being a homemaker utilize every single available space. So I’ve never made ice cream from scratch before however Cuisinart has a manual online that I just googled and let me tell you the taste is perfect although I substituted vanilla abstract for vanilla bean paste whole other level. So I will say there’s not really a leakage however, you have to be mindful of how much mixture you pour in because it does tend to spill over kind of like the top, but not exactly there was barely any, but it does have a little leakage. Now the drum maybe about 5 pounds in weight give or take overall it’s not heavy.I just don’t like having to put it in the freezer and letting it stay overnight for up to 17 hours and taking it back out to use. It is a bit noisy, but nothing that I don’t think the normal ear can tolerate. I would highly recommend this to someone for personal use. I wanted to test it out. I’m thinking of adding ice cream to my menu. I’ve had quite a few ideas in my head so if I am, I’m definitely going to invest in one that has a compressor overall highly recommend.

   Exactamente lo que dice ser… ¡¡una heladera!!uno muy bueno, 19 minutos para un helado casero perfecto y de elaboración tradicional, con un servicio suave y de firmeza media.Todos los que se quejan de que esto no es tan difícil como el helado comprado en la tienda no tienen ni idea de cómo debería verse y sentirse el helado hecho en casa.Cómo lo sé… 40 años haciendo helados, un tío dueño de su propia y famosa fábrica de helados en México, [Lo has comprado en el pasado, te lo garantizo].Un abuelo que trabajó en KRAFT durante más de 50 años en preparación de alimentos y recetas.por todas las reseñas de una estrella, especialmente la que analiza cada receta y le dice que no funcionará. O no tienes ni idea de cómo utilizar la máquina correctamente, o no estás siguiendo las instrucciones y/o tu refrigerador no es capaz de congelar el recipiente. SIMPLE COMO ESO.Todas mis recetas han salido perfectas… LO QUE recomendaría es…1. Enfríe la mezcla de helado en el refrigerador hasta que esté completamente fría. Esto puede tardar varias horas dependiendo de lo viejo que sea su refrigerador. Estoy bastante seguro de que ninguno de ustedes ha hecho reparar sus refrigeradores desde que los compraron… ;Op2. Enfríe el recipiente para congelar en el congelador durante al menos 24 horas la primera vez, para que no escuche el movimiento del líquido cuando lo agite.3. Coloque el fondo del recipiente de enfriamiento detrás del congelador.4. Cuando esté listo para hacer helado, tenga todos los ingredientes listos para que cuando saque el intestino frío esté listo para llenarlo y encenderlo para batir el helado en menos de 2 minutos.5. Asegúrate de que tu cocina no esté caliente, como en Campeche, Acapulco, Veracruz, etc.6. Finalmente use una crema espesa de buena calidad, no LECHE o leche delicia… se llama ICE-CREAM, no leche helada.Limpiar es fácil, para la revisión a la que no le gustó limpiar la paleta, ¡deténgase, por favor!¡Todos los electrodomésticos después de su uso necesitan limpieza en la cocina!Para la revisión que decía que esto es solo un granizado congelado y una paleta para rasparlo, puedes hacer esto en una batidora, MAL, no puedes, toda la técnica para hacer helado consiste en batir con paletas para romper los cristales de hielo. así se ha hecho durante más de 200 años.Diré que la mayoría de las reseñas negativas de una estrella en Amazon {80% o más} en todos los productos se deben a error o ignorancia del cliente. La mayoría de las reseñas de una estrella aquí se encuentran en esa situación.Se trata de una heladera sencilla, moderadamente silenciosa y fácil de usar. Como chef ejecutivo lo recomiendo.

   Okay, so I want this review to be really informative so that it can help anyone who is considering to buy this but a little apprehensive. I must say the comments didnt look promising to me at all but since I have been eyeing this for quite a few months and I knew that at some point of time I would definitely have it in my kitchen,expensive.. sure but I just went ahead and bought this for my anniversary lol!So I had already read about someone whose machine unfortunately blew down due to the voltage problem (it being 110V needs a step down convertor) I also got a call from the seller informing me that I would need a convertor, which was really nice.So this got delivered to me in under 15 days amd went out and bought a step down convertor (100 watts just to be on the safe side) the day after.I had already seen many many ice cream recipes on youtube(laura vitale) samd had quite a few in mind but I went ahead with the mango ice cream since its summer already and I have been missing mangoes big time!I was really scared when I plugged my machine into the convertor and switched it on, to my relief it didnt blow up lolI must point out that I have a huge LG 4- door refrigerator so the freezer temperature wasnt a problem for me but as a measure I shook the frozen bowl and it was frozen solid so I knew that was a good starting point.I poured my custard bsased mixture that has been in the fridge for 4 hours and in the freezer for the last 15 min into the machine and within 15 min I could see that the texture was a hit! By 25 min the soft serve texture was achieved (for completely frozen ones you have to keep it in the freezer which is always mentioned everywhere even in the youtube videos) but I let it run for 4 extra min (total 29 min) just to be sure.I took out the icecream and it was delicious and of soft serve texture that we get in malls. I have now kept it in the freezer just to set conpletely and I am sure it would!So yeah I definitely love this machine and I am so excited about the different flavors I could make in this! Tomorrow I am gonna make vanilla chocolate chio ice cream 😉 the custard is already cooling in the fridge and the ice cream machine bowl in the freezer ;-)So its definitely a great buy, its no doubt expensive but for someone like me who loves to cook up and experiment with different recipes, its a great buy! I love it! I took some pics but cant find the attach pics button 🙁

   buying the Cuisinart ICE-30Bc from U.K , the electric current is supposed to be 220 volts. to my shock and surprise, i received the unit and plugged it in Jordan and it burned because the electric current requirement on the bottom of the unit says 110 volts .this is unusual to sell electric run units in the U.K. with 110 volts electric requirement. now i am trying to repair the unit in Jordan on my own expense and i blame this on you.

   家庭で手軽に美味しいアイスクリームやジェラートが作れます。コツとしては、フリーザーボールを冷凍庫で２日間かけてきっちり冷やすこと。冷やし方が甘いと固まらず、スムージーみたいになってしまいます。最初はフリーザーボールに半分くらいで作ってみて、出来具合を見て量を調節すればいいです。
