Phenomenal idea, gorgeous well executed
By Richard W. Stewart
One of the indispensable memories of my life is making homemade ice cream in the garage with my father and grandfather, crank style, mid 1950′s.

Later my father ‘invented’ an electric ice cream maker, won a ribbon at the Iowa State Fair, and managed to make homemade ice cream at least a couple of times a year.

I purchased my first, primarily improved, electric ice cream maker in the late 1970′s, and have been making homemade ice cream ever since. About once each two years or so.

Since acquiring this machine I now make homemade ice cream (or sorbets) when it comes to once each 3 to 5 days!

Therefore I feel qualified in saying – save your ice and salt ice cream manufacturers for impressing your friends, or children, or neighbors. And – when you genuinely want to make ice cream – use this cute little machine instead.

I keep the bottom – the share with the gel that freezes – in the freezer division of my refrigerator. It isn’t very big at all, perchance the size of a half gallon ice cream container. When I want to make ice cream I pull it out, put it on my kitchen counter, attach the top (motor and paddle), pour ice cream mix in to the suitable level, turn it on, set the timer on my watch for 40 minutes, and walk away.

When I return the ice cream is finished. I stop the machine, remove the top including paddle, and put the bottom back into the freezer. Between 30 and 60 minutes later I scoop the ‘tempered’ ice cream into with regards to 3 one cup disposable but reusable plastic containers with lids (Ziplock brand), put them in the freezer, and eat the remaining ice cream, commonly around 1 cup.

Since a heap of ice cream recipes, including the one I inherited from my grandfather, make more than 1 quart, I just leave the mix in the refrigerator and freeze a little each day until it is all gone. This ice cream freezer is so simple, and easy to clean up, that what might sound like a chore in truth takes when it comes to as much work as making a pot of coffee.

One thing I will say is this – the machine might not last forever. The motor and paddle mechanism is, shall we say, not built like they built them in the 1950′s. I haven’t in truth worn mine out, or experienced any problems, but I won’t be astonished if it doesn’t last forever. But I’ve already made ice cream with this machine with regards to 25 times and at it is fabulously low price I won’t hesitate to merely buy a new one ought to I ever need to.

In that event I would have two bottoms and could make twice as much ice cream each day (and wear out the motor twice as fast … ). I fetch this up because you need to freeze the base before you may start, and the instructions say up to 24 hours depending on the temperature of your freezer. I suspect I could veritably make two batches per day (12 hours in the freezer) but to keep my waist line within reason I prefer my current system.

Because freezing ice cream is so simple I have likewise experimented a lot more than ever before. Grape, apple cider and strawberry sorbets, chocolate ice cream, old-fashioned vanilla, a few others. My grandfather’s recipe is still my favorite, but the machine is so simple to use experimentation is no longer a chore.

Highly commended – I just purchased a second one for my son as a gift.

A Mighty Giant with an Achilles Heel
By J Keistler
I’ve had my DLC-X for roughly ten years now. I purchased the greatest size specifically for doing bread. Even even though it’s a very big and impressive-looking unit, it takes up only a little more space than the smaller, more standard models. Also, at that time, the ‘X’ had a more inviolable shaft set up and a heavier-duty switching scheme than the littler models.

The capacity of this machine to chop, shred, slice, etc., is amazing. One of the Cuisinart tricks I’ve used for years to save time is the exercise of mixing up a salad dressing, then shred and slice the remainder of the salade, in the long run inverting the whole thing into a big bowl where the dressing drains over the salad.

Being an appliance freak, I purchased all the accessory disks, which on this machine are the size of 45-rpm records, and the whisk attachment. This attachment fit on the center shaft and rotated a little set of twin beaters around counter to the attachment rotation. It worked well for whipping cream, but I broke the gears in two of them doing mashed potatoes and a reasonably sticky candy. As these were running with regards to $75 each back then, I never substituted it.

In my opinion, the greatest design weakness is the plastic lid with it is engagement mechanism on the back side. I’ve been through three tops because the Lexan in the end cracks and breaks. No, I don’t abuse the lids or use the mechanism as an on/off switch, it just seems to happen. Perhaps in the newer ones they’ve strengthened this area, hopefully so. The feed chute is a pain to clean but Cuisinart was attempting for max flexibility. Nothing, certainly, that I can’t live with.

My other regret is that Cuisinart hasn’t made the flat lid w/o tube available for this model. I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

My cooking style has changed more or less over the past ten years. I don’t use my ‘X’ as much as I employed to, but am glad to have it waiting for me when I need it!

By the way, I came upon that a generic case made for a sewing serger accommodates my machine like it was made for it! This makes it very easy to transport the machine and not have to worry in regards to breaking something off.

EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH IT!
By M.Williams
I’ll preface this by saying that I have cooked in a professional manner for closely 15 years. Before ordering this massive processor, I checked out almost everything comparable. I am delighted with my selection. This processor is very powerful. If you have a big family or do a lot of entertaining, this one is for you. The work bowl is massive, and batters don’t slop out. The motor may handle multiple batches of cookie dough. You may turn out cake batter in no time, and in huge quantities. I went for a big processor as I have a huge family. Several years ago I catered my daughter’s wedding reception, and how I wish I had this processor at that time. Now it’s easy to develop big amounts of pesto, knead multiple recipes of bread dough, and slice tons of veggies. This product is a TOTAL WINNER!

A bust
By Mark B. Anstendig
Mine arrived broken.

After much aggravation with the client service, which gave faulty selective information and wanted me to send it in at my own expense, Cuisinart in the end told me Ca law made them pick it up for nothing. It took two months and a big total of Cuisinart errors to get it back to me. And I was also billed for the fix and went through hell getting them to find that it was underneath warranty.

Then, too, I received this repaired, top of the line product back with a broken plug.

Then a in truth nasty cusomer service sup., without apologies and a veritably hard-nosed ugly manner lays down the law…I have to send it in at my expense and they will take another 3 to 4 weeks to fix it and there is not one thing I may do in regards to it (she said that).

Finally an upper level supervisor, whom I insisted on speaking with, realized none of this was my fault and, while still making me send it for yet another repair and refusing to interchange the twice wrecked unit, at least accorded to recompense shipping, etc.

I am sorry I ever did business with Cuisinart (Conair), and never will again, if I may help it.

A Mighty Giant with an Achilles Heel

great starter
By aunt B
I found this set to be the best buy for getting the basics. The non-stick pans are great for sautéing and eggs come out unbelievable. There is a good assortment in this set. The handles have a sturdy construction and are always cool to the touch. Having glass lids is also helpful to watch feed without loosing heat while cooking. I cook a lot and buy some dissimilar types of cookware depending on what I’m making, so this set is a good base to get started with and build on.

Great ice cream maker indeed!
By B. Miller
I have relied on my Rival ice cream maker for a lot of years, churning out many, a good deal of batches of good ice cream…but after so a heap of years, i got tired of the rock salt and ice ordeal so i went for this model. GLAD I DID! I’ve made half a dozen batches so far and i’m pleased to say this works better than the salt/ice machine. A few comments:

Simply Great Ice Cream
By Kathryn Price
As this product had not been reviewed yet, I read various reviews for the Cuisinart ICE-20 Ice Cream Maker before making my decision to buy this product. Many remarks regarding the ICE-20 cited 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 listen 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 in regards to 20 minutes, the ice cream was nicely textured and creamy. It wasn’t as hard as the packed ice cream you buy at the store, so I guess you might say the consistency was someplace among 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 merely wonderful. It has a fresh, pure taste that outshines anything I could buy from the store. I purchased it mainly because I wanted to have control of my ingredients. I want to use organic productions as much as possible and I want to experiment with soy ice creams; I have thought I might want to get away from dairy productions altogether.

This product was listed as the most recent version of the ICE-20 and as an upgrade that improves upon the ICE-20 while still keeping it is general features. I don’t recognise what the upgrade comprises of, but I may say that in 20-25 minutes, I had in truth splendid ice cream that I thought was the perfective consistency. (Since I posted this review, a commenter here has noted that the upgrade comprises of a new paddle design, reducing the processing time by 25%, according to the manufacturer.) After freezing it for a couple of hours it was firmer and I liked it at that consistency, too. I was thinking with regards to how great this ice cream would be with warm apple pie, because tasting it genuinely is like tasting fresh vanilla cream. But we’re a couple of months away from apple pie season! This product couldn’t be less complicated to use, and I think it will compensate for itself somewhat quickly in savings over the cost of premium purchased ice cream. And it just tastes better.

Much bettered from the ICE-20
By Banshee
I purchased the new ICE-21 ice cream maker from Cuisinart and just made my initial batch of strawberry ice cream. I was a little worried that it would not freeze well based on the reviews of the ICE-20, likewise sold on amazon, but in in a literal sense 10 minutes after pouring the chilled ingredients in, I had perfectly textured ice cream. The unit is very easy to clean, not terribly loud, and as long as if doesn’t break on me after a few months (and I will update this if it does), I will say this is a great purchase. Now I may make whatsoever flavor ice cream I desire! Mwhahaha!

ReviewEquipped with an extra-large feed tube, a little feed tube, a dough blade, and slicing and shredding discs, this 600-watt, 7-cup, midsize feed processor provides all the power, versatility, and capacity necessitated by most households. Cooks experienced with Cuisinart feed processors will welcome the new feed tube and pusher assembly, which are easy to use–at 4-1/4 inches by 2-3/4 inches, the large, oval feed tube accommodates whole fruits and vegetables. The small, cylindrical tube is located inside the pusher assemblage and has it is own hollow pusher, which removes with a twist. On the bottom of the little pusher is a pin-hole for dribbling oil into the bowl while making mayonnaise.

The Lexan work bowl is nearly shatterproof and impervious to heat or cold. There’s the intimate stainless-steel chopping blade and a dough blade, which effortlessly kneads up to 1-1/2 pounds of dough. Stainless-steel slicing and shredding discs, a plastic spatula shaped for the work bowl, a recipe booklet, and an instruction video showing basic use, tips and techniques, and preparation of numerous recipes from the booklet finish the package. (Existing Cusinart blades and discs also fit this machine.) Cuisinart warranties the motor versus defects for 10 years and the remaining parts for three years. –Fred Brack

Does a outstanding occupation with no hassle
By S. Albertini
I warded off feed processors in the past because the feed chute was always too small, the motor wasn’t up to the job, and they were a pain to clean. My fiancé purchased me this feed processor as a Christmas present. I’m pleased to say that we’re both impressed by it is appearance, thoughtful design, and performance.

The brushed stainless finish is beautiful and easy to wipe clean. The handle-in-front work bowl design is accessible to me (right-handed) and him (left-handed) equally. The machine doesn’t take up a big amount of counter space, and sits securely without “walking” or shimmying even when processing heavy foods.

The work bowl has a HUGE opening that primarily reduces pre-prep knife time. However, you are not stuck using the big opening all the time. The pusher has a littler round “sub-pusher” in it that provides a littler opening for keeping long vegetables upright or for adding liquids while in motion. The lid is secure but may be got rid of and substituted easily. Everything fits stably and securely on the motor base. Work bowl, lid, and pusher work together to make sure you are not exposed to sharp edges or flying feed (so long as you don’t stick your hand down the pusher opening). At 9 cups, the work bowl is the perfective size (7 cups is just hardly too little for good processing, I’ve found).

The introductory thing I made with the processor was a turkey salad with leftovers from Christmas dinner. Big chunks of onion, celery, and green pepper chopped evenly in a few pulses using the S blade. Big chunks of cooked turkey chopped evenly and with no problems or difficulties without pureeing. The included spatula got all the feed out of the work bowl quickly without making a mess. I made homemade mayonnaise (successful my introductory time ever with homemade mayo) according to the recipe in the documentation, and threw in a great deal of herbs to mince while it was processing. I sliced a cucumber with the slicing disk and was startled how speedily it went through.

My fiancé walked in and said, “Wow, are you already done with that? I didn’t even listen you.” (The machine is quieter than my blender.) While I plated the salad, he washed the constituents quickly with a soapy sponge and was amazed how easy it was.

It’s important to know that this machine will take the same blades and affixations as the 7-cup version (the Prep 7, DLC-2007N). It doesn’t say that on Amazon’s or Cuisinart’s website or anyplace in the documentation, but it does mention in a hard-to-notice place on the side of the box that it uses 7-cup processor parts. The set includes a ordinary 4mm slicing disk and a medium shredding disk, but I’ve ordered the 2mm slicing and a fine grating disk and plan to order the egg whisk later.

EDIT: I received the two disk attachments, and they fit and work just like the disks that came in the box. This verifies that the affixations for the 7-cup model fit this 9-cup model too.

Good, solid, basic machine.
By Naomi Witzke
My firstborn undertake at purchasing a feed processor was to buy the $69.99 Oster. I did this because of the price. Predictably, it did not carry out well and I had to return it. Perhaps Oster does better with blenders, I don’t know. After doing further research, I was torn amid KitchenAid and Cuisinart. There are hordes of loyal followers in each camp on this issue, and it was hard to choose based on reviews. I in the long run just went with Cuisinart, because it happened to be the model that my local store carried. In general, I’m happy with the product and would commend it to other home cooks. I’ve only had this appliance a few months, and I don’t use it each day. I in all likelihood use it once each couple weeks because it’s only my husband and me so I don’t cook for a crowd. I do love to prep a lot of feed and then freeze it in front because I’m a busy teacher, so the processor is a big aid with that. If it were not so heavy and having little impact to clean, I’d in all probability use it more because this workhorse actually gets the occupation done fast. Here are my observations based on what I’ve done with it so far:

It is splendid at:
Making breadcrumbs (both fresh and dried)
Mincing fresh herbs
Chopping/mincing raw and cooked meats (like whole chicken for chicken patties etc.)
Making salsa

Pretty Good/Could Be Better:
Shredding carrots, cheese (very quick and uniform, but galore gets stuck amid the lid and the shredding disc)
Grating a wedge of Parmesan (I put little chunks of it in the bowl with the chopping blade, as it shows in the DVD visual representation – and the result was coarser than I expected. In the end it melted fine in the dish I was making (lasagna), but it just felt like coarse sand to me when I was finished processing it, rather than soft powdery flakes like you get when you use the fine holes on the box grater. Still, it sure was a heckuvalot rapidly and without delay than doing it by hand. I guess I’d do it again, as long as it was being added to a dish that would be cooked, like pasta. To make a pile of Parm to serve at the table or to add to breading, I would still use a handheld Microplane zester.)

Not Good:
Slicing green onion by the bunch (it pulled them beneath the lid rather than slicing)

Cleanup and Handling
It’s a little finicky to wash by hand, because there are nooks and crannies for stuff to get stuck in. So far with a little effort and galore strong jets of water to shoot into the cracks, I’ve been competent to get it clean. It MUST air-dry, because there’s no way to get a towel into the handle, where numerous water collects. If I had a dishwasher I think cleanup would be a breeze. So far I’ve only used it when I had a huge occupation to do, because other than as supposed or expected it’s just quicker to pull out the old cutting board and knife or the box grater. They’re more comfortable to haul out and rapidly and without delay to clean. Speaking of which, this processor weighs with regards to 12 pounds empty, and in the summer the rubber feet tend to “suction” themselves onto whatsoever surface they’re sitting on. Not so easy to lift this baby down from on top of the fridge, I came upon – and I’m 5’9!. ‘ I would commend storing this at countertop level or lower, and then lifting with your knees to save your back and shoulders.

Final Comments:
I am happy with my buy and would buy another Cuisinart if this one ever dies. I wish it shredded things without pulling them sideways underneath the lid, but that’s my only complaint – and actually, it’s only a little amount that gets pulled under. In the end, I’d much rather use this processor to shred various pounds of cheese than to use the box grater. I would commend this size to a family of 4 and up – unless you’re like me, and you like to chop a bunch of stuff at once and then freeze or may it. Good product, decent price for what you get overall.

strongest motor of it is class
By A
We chose this model because we don’t want to move genuinely heavy appliances around on the countertop, but the mini-choppers are too little for our recipes. The 2007 weighs regarding 13 pounds and uses the same wattage motor and most of the same disks as the 11-cup model in this line, though it lacks the extra slow-speed control button for dough processing, and it uses the old-style plastic dough blade. (In this size, it’s probably a pie-crust dough maker, not a bread dough maker, anyway.) It’s the greatest motor we found on a feed processor this size.

Good stuff:

Easy wipe-clean base–no crevices to catch food. Hurray!

Stable and comparatively quiet for the duration of use.

Easy top-rack dishwasher clean-up (power-saver no-heat drying)

Easy to add little (or liquid) ingredients for the duration of processing. Small inner pusher piece is removable, giving access to a little feed tube. There’s also a drip hole for liquids in the bottom of the little pusher piece.

Not so good stuff:

Very fiddly mechanism for locking down the workbowl before processing.

The big outer pusher piece, that goes into the main feed tube, has a metal rod that pushes down another rod on the lid, that pushes down another rod on the bowl, that in the long run pushes a control on the base.

If you have to remove the huge pusher to add more huge stuff to the bowl, the mechanism stops. Probably just as well, since a child’s hand could effortlessly fit through the huge main feed tube.

I do wonder how sturdy the locking mechanism will be in the long run, but so far, so good.

BEAUTIFUL looking, fast and even heating without any warping!
By D. M. Schmidt
I purchased a 13 piece set in charcoal at Sam’s club back in January of 2009 for $75 (last one left so it was discounted) can’t go wrong with that. So far the set has held up nicely even after going through the dishwasher a few times through no fault of my own. I read that galore humans put their RED pots through the dishwasher and that they lost their shine. That did not not occurred with my set at all! The instructions say to hand cleaned only which is what you will have to do to all non-stick pots and pans. Putting non-stick pots and pans in the dishwasher will cause the teflon to break down over time. Here is a list of a lot of other pots/pans that are NOT for the dishwasher because it will cause discoloraton: Hard-Anodized Aluminum, Porcelain Enamel-exterior, Copper bottom, Plain Aluminum.

These pots are suitable for solid plate, glass/ceramic, radiant ring, halogen and gas stoves. The thing I did learn was not to put a hot pan/pot on a cold glass burner. I have been doing it for years and I never had a problem but after reading that they may become fused to the burner I will stop doing that. The non-stick surface they use in these pots/pans is called Polytetrafluoroethylene which is another imagination name for “teflon”. My only concern is that they say on their instructions that ornamental pan bottoms may not conduct heat evenly on glass/ceramic stovetop’s. I find this strange since the bottoms are ornamental and they indicated that they may be used on Ceramic stoves.

I just want to let every one know I have tested out the pots/pans for rather a few months now. They heat evenly and fast with NO warping, clean up is a breeze and handles stay cool to touch. I perfectly love these pots/pans and they seem to be keeping up nicely so far. I know these pots/pans are not very heavy but it makes handling them easier. I have owned heavier pots/pans and when filled with feed it was like lifting weights. Not good for persons with arthritis in their hands. The only negative I see is that they need to offer more of these pieces on an individual basis without having to buy a whole set.

Let me just add after everything I read when it comes to these pots/pans it seems to me that persons are having the most difficulties with the red set. It seems that the finish will crack, lose it is shine, and the color will run if you accidently put them in the dishwasher. That did not take place with my charcoal set at all. So be careful as to which set color you order.

UPDATE: 12/19/10 – I still have the set and in January it will be 2 years. The set has held up and still looks closely new. No peeling, cracking or discoloration. I use it almost each day unless I don’t feel like cooking. So for the price I paid I did get my money’s worth.

First new set in 13 years
By a*#!(
I purchased this set to replace our 13 year old set and have no issues with them so far. Maybe it was my old set but water seems to boil alot more quickly with these which is always a help. The main feature that drew us to this set is rubber handles. Alot of the newer stuff has metal handles or for the most part metal with a little rubber. We wanted something that we do not need to use a pot holder to move the pots without burning ourselves.

Be sure to read the care instructions; can’t not be placed in dishwasher, do not use cooking spray, do not use metal utensils etc…) Not an issue for us but a good deal of may be put off by this.

Rubber Coating on Handles Flakes Off
By BASHA
I purchased the set regarding four months ago and after infrequent use on two of the saucepans, perchance once or twice a week, the red rubber coating started to bubble up and flake off, like old paint. I ordinarily handwash, but now the handles have spots where you may see the black plastic underneath. Th pans are still usuable, but looks terrible and that is the reason I purchased the cookware, because I loved the way it looked. Calling the Relations number for the supposed lifetime warranty service only gets you to a recording with an address to ship the cookware back for their INSPECTION. If they deem you did not one thing wrong, they may send you a replacement. The postage for the pans would be in regards to half of what it would cost to buy a new ones. But, I don’t plan on buying any more Paula Deen products.

I like it a lot, but not in love.
By Enthous
Let me commence by telling you this processor replaces a 30-year-old introductory Cuisinart DLC-8. It didn’t have a wide feed tube, and had much less power, so I’m not making a comparison with a newer, comparable machine. It’s kind of like comparing an economy car to a Mercedes. Also, I got it for a significant discount for the duration of a Macy’s sale, which is the only reason I purchased it. I don’t know if I’d compensate the regular price for it. Another reviewer liked the fixed edition better when spending the huge bucks. That said, I’m happy with it, but not as thrilled as I expected to be.

Disappointed with terrible client service from Calpalon
By Pamela Schafer
I invested in this set closely 4 years ago. I had this set for less then 2 years when I noticed that galore pans were showing signs of peeling. I never washed the pans in the dish washer and I only own bamboo and plastic utensils so I knew the peeling was not from my neglect. I called the Calphalon client service number and was told I would need to ship the entire set back (at my own expense). I was told it would take 6-8 weeks before I would be notified whether or not the cookware was going to be covered beneath the warranty. If the cookware was not going to be covered I would be responsible for return shipping on the cookware set. NOT the kind of client service I would suppose from a company as well known as Calphaon. I have purchased for less cookware at a big box store and had it last longer then 2-4 years. I will have to replace this cookware and will not be doing it with any merchandise in the Calphalon line.

It’s nice stuff….BUT!!!!!!
By K. L. Estepp
We purchased this set from another venue.

When you original open the box and see the new set you are thrilled. Especially if your old set that you just substituted was horrible.

BUT after you have had it a while you begin to realize that owning this set of cookware requires a LOT of effort on your percentage to keep it looking nice.

The bottoms darken effortlessly and need continuous attention to make them look good.

On our queer set, the greatest saucepan interior was “bubbled”. Well….we are NOT each and everyday cooks in this house and it only took a few months for the interior finish to commence chipping off the pan.

We had to go out and buy all new utensils and particular scrubbers etc. to clean these pans. Most things we had in our drawer just didn’t work well with this set. Stick a metal fork in it once and IT’S DONE!

Remember….NO dishwashers, NO metal utensils, NO harsh chemicals, NO abrasive scrubbers, NO cooking spray, NO stacking of pans, NO contact with other surfaces or the exterior WILL scratch!

In short….these pans take your full attention but when you buy anything worth having, you are more than willing to expend the extra energy and time to take good care of it.

If it weren’t for the interior surface chips, I would have to give this set an “ALMOST PERFECT” score!!!!!

Quality Product!!!
By Chrissy
I was looking for quality when I purchased this set, and I got it! I read the instructions that followed it. I hand wash, use only plastic and wood utensils, and no non-stick cook spray. I couldn’t be happier with them. Nothing sticks, the handles don’t get hot, it’s a pleasure cooking with them! (I have not tried them in the oven yet, but they are oven safe to a degree!)

Works GREAT!!!
By pc
I picked this unit up for underneath $30.00 at Penney’s last year, after our old wooden bucket unit gave up the ghost. We’d had that one for with regards to 15 yrs. The problem with the wooden buckets, was that the brass bands keeping it together, always rusted from the corrosion of salt water that came into contact with it. The plastic bucket on this unit does away with the rust issue. It has a huge capacity; in regards to 5 or 6 qts, which is good for huge families or a crowd. The problem with the new units like cuisinart, is that they only hold 1 or 2 pints! Why go through that much work, for such a little amount? Plus, those only work if you think in front to pre-freeze the interior canister for overnight. That does away with the possibleness of settling on spur of the moment a outstanding deal of summer day, to say “hey, let’s make a heap of ice cream! NOW!”
Yeah, yeah, you have to use a cheap box of rock salt and pick up a bag of ice. Using ice and salt, actually aren’t a big deal though. After making your custard or ice cream base, and place into the canister and putting the whole thing into the plastic bucket, you just add a large total of shoal layers of ice and rock salt, till you get to the top. Then turn the thing on, and it’s done in when it comes to 25 minutes. Perfect! We’ve applied ours for 2 yrs, with utterly no problems. Ok, well perhaps the box it was packaged in, looked tacky, and like it would be kind of cheap. But so what! I don’t care in regards to the packaging, we just wanted a great, dependable ice cream maker that didn’t cost $100 or $200! This unit works flawlessly, and turns out amazing ice cream! Our family of 8 loves it!
*** Just a side note, to commend that you buy a lot of Mexican vanilla online, or find somebody going to Mexico, and have them pick a good deal of up for you. It makes an enormous divergence to vanilla ice cream! You won’t believe how unbelievable it’ll make it taste!

Yummy
By Speciallyforyounovelties
We have consecrated ourselves to make ice cream for a fund raiser. Now we’ve been making ice cream for a long time with our little old one. Knew that wouldn’t even commence to keep up with hundreds of ice cream lovers. Both my husband and I searched the reviews and made our purchases he got Nostalgia Electrics ICMP-400BLUE 4-Quart Plastic Bucket, and I got Hamilton Beach 68330R 4-Quart Automatic. We tested both out and in equated them. They both formulated splendid ice cream! The Nostalgia motor slowed then stopped when the ice cream started out to thicken, the Hamilton Beach kept going but you could smell the motor heating up as it worked harder, we had to turn it off ourselves, so keep a close eye on the Hamilton as not to burn up the very strong motor that won’t give up so it doesn’t burn up.

Greatest Chrismas gift ever.
By Travis
I got this as a Christmas gift from my mom. It’s plainly the best present ever. It’s so easy to set up, so easy to clean and so easy to make ice cream…put all the ingredients in, let it churn for when it comes to 30 or so minutes, and it’s done. I like to put it in the freezer for an extra 2 hours, then put it in the microwave for when it comes to 20 seconds, and to me, it tastes way better than anything at a store. I’ve made all kinds of astounding flavors just using the “easy ice cream”. Mint chocolate chip, peanut butter swirl vanilla, plain vanilla, egg nog ice cream. I love my ice cream to death and this thing lets me experiment in ways I never could have imagined…awesome…simply awesome. It makes a lot too, which was great equated to a lot of of the others that looked to fabricate in regards to 1/4 as much as this one does.

5 Stars all the way…HIGHLY recommended.
