 Make Ice Cream in 20 Minutes March 10, 2010
S. Muldavin (Indiana)
I have had the ice cream maker for approx. 3 weeks. I was surprised how quickly it turned the ingredients into ice cream. I was expecting to wait at least 30 min, but it was soft serve ready in about 20 minutes.
I'm still experimenting and have found that I can make a sugarless (I use splenda) milkshake from scratch in 15 minutes.
My only complaints are that I wish it had a spout to make it easier to pour into another container or cup. But then it was designed to make ice cream not milkshakes.
Also, it seems like I waste a lot of ice cream because it is frozen solid to the bottom and sides of the container. I cannot find a utensil soft enough not to scratch, but strong enough to scrape the inside of the container.
Freezing the Bowl is Essential March 5, 2010
M. Bode (Atlanta, GA United States)
Like other commenters I tried this a couple times and got nasty frozen slush with all my added extras floating to the top or bottom. Read reviews here and decided to try it with the bowl frozen.
I'm surprised this wasn't more explicitly stated in the recipes provided. Part of the process is that the ice cream is supposed to begin freezing while it's being mixed. If the bowl is warm you're not doing anything more than gently stirring it for 30 mins and you might as well just put milk in the freezer.
The bowl if properly frozen is pretty neat-- it will freeze water. It's good for keeping other things extra cold in the freezer as well.
Good product but could use better documentation.

I got this item for my wife for a gift she uses it very frequently. she love the fact that it is easy to use and makes great ice cream and allows her to experiment with different flavor ideas and it makes just enough for a small family.
While some may think I'm cheating.... I don't care cuz I make the best I.C. on the planet February 24, 2010

I also have had issues in the past with other brand 'freeze canister' makers.... however, I got this one at a moving sale for $10...... and while the ice cream was soft serve, it worked fine and froze better than the other brands i had used in the past... .. but since everyone complained about that and since it was a pain to have to 'wait' for another freeze time (I have a family of 4)... I simply placed the unit inside of my upright freezer that I have in the garage.... I used an extension cord and simply closed the door on it... the freezer door seals fairly well... but in only 20 minutes, the cream freezes to a creamy but hard consistency - just like the old salt and ice guys... and, I can do another batch immediately afterwards.... also, NO NOISE...! it is in the garage, inside the upright freezer... so in case anyone has a freezer in the garage and space for it... if you really want that solid creamy consistency.... TRY IT!
