| I bought this for me last summer, and I loved it so much, I bought another as a gift. It's easy, taste so much better than anything you can buy, and it's fun to be creative. We never have left over icecream sitting in the freezer now, and when we want some, I keep cream handy in the fridge, so we just toss the ingredients into a blender, pour it into the already frozen bowl, and "Voila" 30 minutes later we have icecream !!! Fastest dessert I've ever made, and always a big hit. Great way to use up ripe bananas, and make banana split ice cream. How many ways must a person try this machine to actually get it to work? We're never trying another cuisinart ice cream maker. No matter how cold I got the liquid and how much I made sure the frozen bowl was at zero degrees (the way other users have advised), I got a ring of immoveable solid frozen liquid all the way around the edge of the bowl, and cold liquid in the middle - and the machine wouldn't do any more than that. I tried several recipes, same problems, nothing anywhere near ice cream. Gee how about some cold pudding with a chunk of hard-as-rock ice on the side? Could some of the reviews for this product be a bit overly optomistic? Im so bummed about this ice cream maker. I noticed Ina used one on her show so figured this would be a good one, and boy am I dissapointed. My first batch I thought it was my recipe, but my second batch I decided it was the maker. As others have stated, it never fully froze...didnt even get to a soft serve consistency. It was more like a thick soup. I tried to let it run longer, and after an hour, the bowl completely defrosted and the ice cream never solidified. Sadly, I wasted a bunch of money on ingredients. This one is going back. |
