I will have to add a comment here, I’ve worked in an ice cream factory for years, all icecream is manufactured to a soft serve consistency, then frozen. I hope this clarifies the illusion of the ice cream not freezing enough:-)
We have had one for 5 or more years. Used it often, entertained with ice cream we've made. The bowls have recently cracked so we are looking for another one.
Found one brand new at Goodwill with all the pieces for $12.99. However it was the 50% off color that day so I was out the door for $7 Cha-ching! Works perfectly
Bought a teal one today for $20 at goodwill. They had an older one different brand for $8 but they said this is a newer model so they priced it as such
I just bought one at Goodwill for 2 bucks. Looks brand new and churns just fine. And its the beautiful bright yellow one! Cant wait to try it out tomorrow.
I have 2 bowls and keep them in the freezer. When I make ice cream I usually make a traditional 1/2 or 1 gal batch. I put it in the fridge overnight. When I am ready to start making ice cream I stir the refrigerated mix and pour it into one of the frozen bowls. Then I pop it back into the freezer for about 15 -20 minutes. Then just add the paddle and cover and turn it on. Firmer ice cream in about 15-20 min. Oh, fold a clean dish towel and set it over the hole and top to keep the cold in. If you made vanilla, when you are ready to do the next batch you can change up the flavor on each batch. (mint choc. chip, Baileys, Amaretto, crushed butterfinger with a tablespoon of melted PB, fresh peach or strawberry...)
Thank you. Apparently, Cuisinart addressed the problem of noise with the earlier models, like the one I have. Very loud and unpleasant. I used to set up the machine and get it runniing, then flee the room for 30 minutes - really !
@@TheCultureofCookery My boyfriend got me an unofficial book of Disney drink recipes. The three I wanted to make most (blue milk, green milk, Dole whip) all call for an ice cream maker. Today I made blue milk with coconut milk, oat milk, pineapple juice, passion fruit juice, lime juice, watermelon syrup, and blue food coloring, blended it together, and ran it in the ice cream machine until it was a slushy consistency. Next up: Dole whip ^_^
I just bought this ice cream maker. I got it yesterday. I set my freezer to -8F (I can control the temperature of my freezer). I let the bowl there for about 14 hours. After that it made perfect macha (green tea) gelato in exactly 25 minutes. I saw no difference between the one I made and Haagen-Dazs. Honestly!
I’ve had mine for years. I live in Florida so when I feel like ice cream I have it in my pantry. Making protein powder ice cream and it tastes great!! 😊 The Ninja Creamy looks amazing but for how often I use this one it’s fine.
The Ninja Creami has major design flaws. First off, the lid is hard to clean and will grow mold start smelling. Second, the rotor, which goes into the ice-cream, also goes back into the machine. That will smell too. Third, people have complained about shredded plastic in their ice-cream, from the lid, I suppose.
I put my premixed ice cream in my beer fridge (33 degrees F ) .55 Celsius? And then after a few hours pour it into the frozen bowl after 18 mins it pretty dang solid on a room temperature spoon
Personally, none of these so-called ice cream makers are worth a damn. Plastic just doesn't last, especially the plastic mixing paddle. These companies are crooks in my book!
Plastic is definitely worse for the environment (probably). But I've had this used model for a few years now and I still haven't had any problems with it breaking or anything like that. I suppose as long as you're not putting big pieces of metal in your ice cream, you should be fine? 😂
Care to share chocolate ice cream recipe? I like vanilla, but my mom in nursing home loves chocolate. I could take her a dish of good ice cream! Thanks
I'm checking this thing out since I want to male keto ice cream and I'm kind of tired of companies overcharging a lot for something just because its keto. I use heavy cream when I make my icream. This might actually end up making my ice cream perfect since I'm basically make flavored whipped cream.
Yes, in the long run it’s cost effective for sure! I’ve found that when I just do heavy cream it’s a little too rich. If you’re on keto, you might be able to cut it with almond milk?
Very good info, thank you. I just received my ICE-21FR, refurbished. I bought it on Amazon; I didn’t know I could buy it on Facebook Marketplace. It came without instructions, and the recipe book. I already have my favorite ice cream base recipe but I’m annoyed they didn’t send the booklet.
Yeah it might be that your freezer isn’t cold enough or the liquid in the bowl is no longer freezing properly. Might buy another bowl? Also starting with cold ice cream base is super helpful too
It does look pretty cool, but $200 is an investment for people that aren't sure if they want to commit to the whole ice cream thing. Especially when you can get away with getting a ICE-21 for less than $20 at a Salvation Army or
Mine came out just soft serve! Oh! What do! I’m verklempt! Wait! I have a Sub-Zero fridge/freezer, and the freezer display reads 0°. Will putting the soft serve in the freezer really harden it? 🤪
I've had mine since the late '90's. It still works, however, the freezer bowl deteriorated. It started leaking the freezing element inside the insulated bowl. Had to find a new bowl.
I just got a brand new from Goodwill for $8 never opened! I have wanted one for a while but didn't want to pay $60 + for it. I can't wait to make some ice cream!
I bought one at goodwill for 5 bucks..it looks like its never been used..has a fancy looking top not just the plain old round opening…kinda like a flower shape…..only thing is no instruction manual!😆
Just found one a goodwill…looks brand new…..its the ive cream sorbet and yogurt maker…i paid 5 bucks….no instruction book though so ll try to get a book….lets hope it works well!
I paid $49.95 for the Cuisinart ICE-21P1 machine and love it! No wonder Consumer Reports rates it so highly. My granddaughter has the Ninja CREAMi that’s much more expensive and sounds like a jet plane taking off. It doesn’t perform any better than the Cuisinart!
I had one for years and loved it -- then we (hubby and I) needed to lose some weight so I stupidly gave it away. Now considering buying another one ... I have been making ice milk ice cream by shaking in a container and that is rough ... thank you for all the info that I forgot from 20 years ago when I had one.
I've found that if I make my own ice cream, I eat less of it. It's better than what you can buy at the store and worth the wait, but that wait means you aren't eating it as often.
Thanks for the review. Very helpful for us, as we just bought one and are waiting for the bowl to freeze right now. If you have good / unusual recipes for ice cream, I'm pretty sure your viewers would love to see what you recommend, and maybe what to avoid. Salut! Oh, yeah, you don't speak French. Cheers.
Glad it could be of help! Yes, I definitely have grown to love mine. It's great for experimenting! I actually do have a couple of videos out on what I've made. Just recently started making frozen yogurt! Which in my opinion, turns out better than ice cream and is marginally healthier too haha 😅. If you're interested, the froyo video is: th-cam.com/video/b5wwUV9R_KU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/b5wwUV9R_KU/w-d-xo.html
Just got delivery of mine today ($79Can at the Bay online)and bowl is in the freezer! My plan is to make sorbet and sherberts for cool treats in the summer and of course, ice cream year round. My only problem will be putting the soft product back into the freezer to harden up before it finds its way into my mouth. :)
Hahaha you and me both, Mary! Getting the soft serve to a harder ice cream is near impossible in our home. Sorbets are a fantastic way to eat "healthier" ice cream too! Let me know if you stumble across any must try recipes!
🗣QUESTION OF THE DAY: Are you #teamicecream or #teamfroyo? With things flavours like "Red Velvet" or "Birthday Cake" Frozen Yogurt, is it REALLY that much better for you? 🤷🏻♂️
I’d love to watch you test the Ninja Creami. I’m so interested in that appliance and would love to see the opinion of someone who has tested a different appliance that is in the same roam, to give me a through review of it!
You are a good spouse. 👏👏👏👏 I would definitely say this is a good option, but the ice cream that it produces would be soft serve. So unless your husband is into waiting a little bit longer/doesn't mind eating soft serve, it should be a great fit for you all!
@@TheCultureofCookery I have a friend suggest spending more and buying the 100 with the compressor so he could enjoy the harder ice cream he really enjoys... last night I made mango ice cream mix ingredients and pour into a bowl and freeze he was impatient to try it but needs to freeze over night so if the ICE21 only becomes soft serve then perhaps the 100 would be a better idea... what do you think of the 100?
I believe I used this ice cream base: Effortless Soft Serve Ice Cream with the CUISINART ICE-21C || It's Egg-Free Too! th-cam.com/video/ZTwgaqJLcZ4/w-d-xo.html
Congrats! Honestly, I think you’ll love it. As long as your mix is cold and your bowl is well frozen, you’ll be laughing. Tomorrow I’ll be working on a simple ice cream recipe for beginners and hopefully posting it later this week 🤞🏽
@@TheCultureofCookery well I got my ice cream maker and we absolutely love it! I've made ice cream at least 8 times now and it's so easy, fast, and delicious! (I make the keto version) Money well spent. 💕
@@misspriss13pink heyyyooo! Nicely done! Yeah, we love ours as well. Started making frozen yogurt, and I think we like it more than ice cream! Not sure it’s much healthier though… 🤔🤔
Your review was very thorough and covered many of the details that we were wondering about such as how long to freeze the bowl, and the consistency of the ice cream once it’s done spinning. Thanks again for a great review.
With ice cream makers like that, the bowl freezes the ice cream so hard that the paddle jams up against it. Which is why I wanna try the new Ninja Creami, that starts with rock frozen mix and then makes it soft and scoopable.
@@playnicegames Okay, if you say so. But just out of curiosity, how can a recipe cause freezing along the walls of the bowl? And how at times does that same recipe turn out well?`And at other times not form into ice cream at all?
That's super interesting. In all my testing, I didn't notice the paddle jamming. Some "harder" ice cream did collect on the spots that were in direct contact with the metal, but never jamming. It could be a case of overchurning? Also, with the frozen hard, it's usually a case of not enough sugar or fat. In my testing, that's what led to creamiest ice cream. Hope that helps!
@@TheCultureofCookery I see… Well, I don’t eat sugar and any ice cream I eat must be sugar free. So it looks like the only way I can have real sugar free ice cream is with this new Ninja appliance.
I have a similar model (Cuisinart ICE 30) that has the same problem. The part of the paddle that scrapes against the side of the bowl doesn't apply enough pressure, so the ice gradually forms up. I found a video review, and the guy in it holds the paddle against the bowl with his thumb. (He makes ice cream professionally, so I doubt it's a fault in the recipe.) Aside from that problem, he says it's a good model.
59 years old love ice cream but need low carb...fb sales $25 pretty much new.. love to play in kitchen 🥳will try every low carb receipt and also try to make a few of my own such fun...and then you get ice cream 🥰🤣
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I followed the instructions exactly but the top keeps popping and the paddle is not turning. Only the frozen bowl is turning.and the paddle is turning with it like its frozen to the sides. Although I locked the lid in place it pops unlocked.
Ohhh that's a shame! Yeah, I'm not quite sure what's happening. You would hear a click if it's locked into spot properly? And it is right that the bowl turns, the paddle stays stationary
Had one years ago, worked fine in my old refurbished 60's refrigerator but when I got a new energy efficient refrigerator the bowl just would not freeze adequately (yes I manipulated the temp in the fridge which just then froze just refrigerated items.) Was so disappointed with ongoing failures I chucked the ice cream unit and today I am waiting on delivery of Breville model that has it's own compressor. Yes, this new one is very expensive, but I love ice cream, sorbet, sherbert, etc. and am expecting good results.
Ohhhh sorry to hear about that! I wonder why it wouldn't freeze properly anymore? I've been eyeing the Breville model as well but can't yet justify the price, especially when the Cuisinart does the job in a pinch. Gotta do more saving up for sure though. Would love to know how you fare with the Breville!
@@TheCultureofCookery I got the information somewhere from someone that in order for it to freeze properly you not only need to have room in your freezer for the tub, but also enough room to leave a wide space between it and everything else in your freezer. Don't know if that is why but I am over the moon happy with the Breville despite the cost and plan on using it a lot for a long time.
@@TheCultureofCookery Got and love the Breville, have been making at least a quart every week since I got it. Frozen yogurt, vanilla ice cream, caramel ice cream, coffee ice cream....all my favorites and all much better than store bought.
I've had one of these - or rather the previous model - for at least a decade and I made some ice cream yesterday and it was just the same as on the first day. You just have to remember two things: for best flavor and volume, refrigerate the mix overnight. Once it's done churning, unless you want to eat soft ice cream, freeze the ice cream for several hours if you want to be able to scoop it. Of course a lot depends on the recipe. I usually make ice milk using the Serious Eats recipe. And lastly if you want to make sure that your container is frozen solid, shake it and hold it close to your ear. If there's anything happening in there it's not ready!
I just got mine for $20 yehey!!! Thanks for this. But theres also one i saw the yonanas making fruits to ice cream. Is that hood too or are they the same?
Thanks for posting this. Just bought one with a gift card my sister gave me for Christmas. Going to try making egg nog ice cream. One thing that I'm worried about is the paddle. Cuisinart really cheaped out on that and I hope it holds up. The lid doesn't look very sturdy either. Guess I will have to handle it with kid gloves.
Hahah it hasn't gone wrong for me yet. You typically want to pull the ice cream as soon as it gets somewhat thick as over-mixing the ice cream is definitely a thing. I once over-mixed and I ended up with chunks of butter in my ice cream. 🤢. All that to say, it's a lot more durable than you'd think!
I've been using mine for 4 years and it still looks great and works just fine. My husband loved eggnog and I would make eggnog ice cream for him, and he loved it. I just keep mine bowl in the freezer and the day before i want ice cream, I make the base and put it in the refrigerator because you need your base to be no more than 40 degrees F.
After purchasing and using the Cuisinart ice cream maker, I looked for reviews. The conclusion is that I should always keep the frozen bowl in the freezer. Good review!
What I'm looking for is ice cream without sugar-I'd use powdered erythritol instead. It's not that I'm afraid of getting fat, it's just that if I'm going to be eating a lot of ice cream, I'd prefer that there weren't sugar in it. That said, I'd be wanting to imitate Haagen-Dazs-type ice creams as far as possible . . . is that going to be doable with this machine, or are ALL home ice cream makers going to be unable to imitate the big commercial ice creams? For instance, if I wanted to somehow do a strawberry-almond ice cream with real almond and real strawberries, is that going to be possible? I'm an excellent cook with lots of experience with complex recipes so that's not the problem. The tool is the problem, and I know **nothing** about home-made ice cream. Thanks in advance for any help . . .
Sorry that this insight comes two months late! Yeah while I think this is a great beginner machine, there are some flaws I’m beginning to notice. If the bowl doesn’t get cold enough, the ice crystals won’t form before you start to whip the cream - this results in a slightly fatty film in your mouth even after it’s frozen. If you really want to reach pinnacle ice cream making, might I suggest one of those machines with built in cooling in it? Keeps everything cooler and should result in a smoother ice cream! Just a couple of thoughts 🤷🏻♂️
I think Cuisinart has an all metal ice cream maker? www.amazon.ca/Cuisinart-ICE-30BC-Indulgence-2-Quart-Automatic/dp/B0006ONQOC/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=cuisinart%2Bice%2Bcream%2Bmaker&qid=1674152343&sr=8-3&th=1
So the bowl moves around with the paddle staying still. The residual cold from the frozen bowl is supposed to freeze the cream. It does end up more as a "soft serve" but with a little freezing in the fridge you should be good to go!
Thanks for being so upfront about this machine. I like it. I’ll try this instead of continuing to look. The low price threw me off because I thought it wouldn’t do a good job, but I like how your ice cream turned out 😊
Cuisinart has several that don't require the pre-frozen tub. To be perfectly honest, I haven't personally tested any of those. But my friend raves about the CUISINART ICE-100. It's definitely bigger and pricier, but if you're all in on ice cream making - go for it! 👌🏽
We have a different Cuisinart model (BCA30) and after more than 10 years, it's still going strong and makes delicious ice cream. I keep the bowl in a bag in the freezer so it's always ready to go.
I have the ice 100. I upgraded from a £30 freeze bowl machine. I love that the compressor allows me to make more than batch a day. I always find myself wanting to make between 2 - 3. The ice 100 allows me to do that in a single night not multiple days
I just want 1 for low calorie protein ice cream.because its hard to find treats when watching what you eat and halo top can get pricey.iv tried other ways making I've created.an ice version in my nutribullet and it broke it.so if this does the job for an easy healthy treat I'm going to buy 1...thanks for the review
Glad I could help! Yeah, you could definitely go a healthier route by not using as much sugar, subbing with different milk substitutes. It would likely affect the texture, but if you got a banging recipe - should work out! If you do have one, I'd love to check it out. All this ice cream making is taking a toll haha

Thanks for the review. Very helpful for us, as we just bought one and are waiting for the bowl to freeze right now. If you have good / unusual recipes for ice cream, I'm pretty sure your viewers would love to see what you recommend, and maybe what to avoid. Salut! Oh, yeah, you don't speak French. Cheers.
Glad it could be of help! Yes, I definitely have grown to love mine. It's great for experimenting! I actually do have a couple of videos out on what I've made. Just recently started making frozen yogurt! Which in my opinion, turns out better than ice cream and is marginally healthier too haha 😅. If you're interested, the froyo video is: th-cam.com/video/b5wwUV9R_KU/w-d-xo.html

Free from a friend that’s moving 😉
That’s highway robbery! Just make sure to share a cut with them when you start your ice cream business 😆
Just got delivery of mine today ($79Can at the Bay online)and bowl is in the freezer! My plan is to make sorbet and sherberts for cool treats in the summer and of course, ice cream year round. My only problem will be putting the soft product back into the freezer to harden up before it finds its way into my mouth. :)
Hahaha you and me both, Mary! Getting the soft serve to a harder ice cream is near impossible in our home. Sorbets are a fantastic way to eat "healthier" ice cream too! Let me know if you stumble across any must try recipes!
I wanted a TEAL ice cream maker thank u!
Glad I could be of help!
Thanx for the awesome review. can't find decent vegan ice cream so have to make our own. was either get the hand crank...or modern technology...
Yea that hand crank life definitely doesn’t appeal to me haha. Glad the video could be of help!
@@TheCultureofCookery my dad got a hand crank back in the 80s, we made one batch...screw it, dairy queen
🗣QUESTION OF THE DAY: Are you #teamicecream or #teamfroyo?
With things flavours like "Red Velvet" or "Birthday Cake" Frozen Yogurt, is it REALLY that much better for you? 🤷🏻♂️
I’d love to watch you test the Ninja Creami. I’m so interested in that appliance and would love to see the opinion of someone who has tested a different appliance that is in the same roam, to give me a through review of it!
I was going to get one earlier this year but it really didn't seem like it was worth the money. I am just now finally ordering this one
@@amandafrancois1536 Costco has it for a very good price compared to other stores!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely see if I can get my hands on one!
Thank you so much for providing this review. Was debating whether to purchase a used model ICE-20. Think I'll go for it!
Glad it could help, Mary! Yes, it's been a summer staple in our home for a couple of years now. Pretty fantastic bargain buy!
thank you I'm searching for one for my husbands nightly ice cream treat comparing the different Cuisinart models
You are a good spouse. 👏👏👏👏
I would definitely say this is a good option, but the ice cream that it produces would be soft serve. So unless your husband is into waiting a little bit longer/doesn't mind eating soft serve, it should be a great fit for you all!
@@TheCultureofCookery I have a friend suggest spending more and buying the 100 with the compressor so he could enjoy the harder ice cream he really enjoys... last night I made mango ice cream mix ingredients and pour into a bowl and freeze he was impatient to try it but needs to freeze over night so if the ICE21 only becomes soft serve then perhaps the 100 would be a better idea... what do you think of the 100?
What’s in the ice cream base?
I believe I used this ice cream base: Effortless Soft Serve Ice Cream with the CUISINART ICE-21C || It's Egg-Free Too!
th-cam.com/video/ZTwgaqJLcZ4/w-d-xo.html
I use a ratio of at least 2 to 1 cream to milk, just usually use half and half and add cream.
Got mine, brand new in box, $8 at Good will !
Thanks! I just ordered one. I can't wait to get it! Gonna get an extra bowl.
Congrats! Honestly, I think you’ll love it. As long as your mix is cold and your bowl is well frozen, you’ll be laughing. Tomorrow I’ll be working on a simple ice cream recipe for beginners and hopefully posting it later this week 🤞🏽
@@TheCultureofCookery well I got my ice cream maker and we absolutely love it! I've made ice cream at least 8 times now and it's so easy, fast, and delicious! (I make the keto version) Money well spent. 💕
@@misspriss13pink heyyyooo! Nicely done! Yeah, we love ours as well. Started making frozen yogurt, and I think we like it more than ice cream! Not sure it’s much healthier though… 🤔🤔
I'm looking to purchase on. Thank you for the review :)
Glad to help out! I’ve also got an ice cream recipe for when you get started 👍🏽
Your review was very thorough and covered many of the details that we were wondering about such as how long to freeze the bowl, and the consistency of the ice cream once it’s done spinning. Thanks again for a great review.
That's great to hear, glad it was helpful!
FWIW - FYI - June 2023 - This unit is selling for $69.99 at Costco here in Canada.
Ohhhh that’s a steal though you can often find them at Value Villages?
With ice cream makers like that, the bowl freezes the ice cream so hard that the paddle jams up against it. Which is why I wanna try the new Ninja Creami, that starts with rock frozen mix and then makes it soft and scoopable.
That’s a mistake in your recipe, not the performance of the ice cream makers.
@@playnicegames Okay, if you say so. But just out of curiosity, how can a recipe cause freezing along the walls of the bowl? And how at times does that same recipe turn out well?`And at other times not form into ice cream at all?
That's super interesting. In all my testing, I didn't notice the paddle jamming. Some "harder" ice cream did collect on the spots that were in direct contact with the metal, but never jamming. It could be a case of overchurning?
Also, with the frozen hard, it's usually a case of not enough sugar or fat. In my testing, that's what led to creamiest ice cream.
Hope that helps!
@@TheCultureofCookery I see… Well, I don’t eat sugar and any ice cream I eat must be sugar free. So it looks like the only way I can have real sugar free ice cream is with this new Ninja appliance.
I have a similar model (Cuisinart ICE 30) that has the same problem. The part of the paddle that scrapes against the side of the bowl doesn't apply enough pressure, so the ice gradually forms up. I found a video review, and the guy in it holds the paddle against the bowl with his thumb. (He makes ice cream professionally, so I doubt it's a fault in the recipe.) Aside from that problem, he says it's a good model.
59 years old love ice cream but need low carb...fb sales $25 pretty much new.. love to play in kitchen 🥳will try every low carb receipt and also try to make a few of my own such fun...and then you get ice cream 🥰🤣
Yes! It's definitely something that you've got to try out!
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I followed the instructions exactly but the top keeps popping and the paddle is not turning. Only the frozen bowl is turning.and the paddle is turning with it like its frozen to the sides. Although I locked the lid in place it pops unlocked.
Ohhh that's a shame! Yeah, I'm not quite sure what's happening. You would hear a click if it's locked into spot properly? And it is right that the bowl turns, the paddle stays stationary
Found a used one for $1.99
Que cuesta
Not a 100% sure where you're from, but you can always check them out on their website or Amazon!
Can I make Ice Cream, if I just freeze their Bowl? Thank you.
Without the machine? I suppose if you whip by hand? If you have the freezer bowl with the machine you should be good to go!
Actually, the color of the "mint green" ice cream maker is turquoise, and answer to who would want one is me. Stupid comment.
Im genuinely sorry that you’re offended! Hope you have a better day!
I just landed one of these for $31! Then I went to the thrift store this morning and I literally saw the previous version 20 of this for $5!!!!
NIIIIIIIICE!! That’s a pretty sweet deal! Nicely done!
I have two of the older models I bought them for maybe $8 each
I have had mine for 10 years... its ok. I may get the 70 model. MAYBE.
Niiiiice! Yeah I really need to find a way to justify to my wife that we need another ice cream maker haha
Had one years ago, worked fine in my old refurbished 60's refrigerator but when I got a new energy efficient refrigerator the bowl just would not freeze adequately (yes I manipulated the temp in the fridge which just then froze just refrigerated items.) Was so disappointed with ongoing failures I chucked the ice cream unit and today I am waiting on delivery of Breville model that has it's own compressor. Yes, this new one is very expensive, but I love ice cream, sorbet, sherbert, etc. and am expecting good results.
Ohhhh sorry to hear about that! I wonder why it wouldn't freeze properly anymore?
I've been eyeing the Breville model as well but can't yet justify the price, especially when the Cuisinart does the job in a pinch. Gotta do more saving up for sure though. Would love to know how you fare with the Breville!
@@TheCultureofCookery I got the information somewhere from someone that in order for it to freeze properly you not only need to have room in your freezer for the tub, but also enough room to leave a wide space between it and everything else in your freezer. Don't know if that is why but I am over the moon happy with the Breville despite the cost and plan on using it a lot for a long time.
@@TheCultureofCookery Got and love the Breville, have been making at least a quart every week since I got it. Frozen yogurt, vanilla ice cream, caramel ice cream, coffee ice cream....all my favorites and all much better than store bought.
Thank you for making this video I found one for $20 at the grocery store and it didn’t have any directions.
Nice! Paperwork isn't a big deal, you can always just google it!
Can you make a review about air fryers?
thank you for your review! I love mine!!
Thanks for taking time to comment, Gail! Yes, can't say enough good things about this budget ice cream maker!
I just bought mine brand new. Don’t have discount or thrift stores here in my city so paid full price. Hope I like my ice cream maker now.
They're also not too badly priced at full price! Hope you enjoy it!
$60 US with a second freezing chamber.
Ohhh that's pretty good pricing for sure!
My clear cover when I turn on it comes off the designated holes and starts making a loud noise. Does that happen to anyone?
Ohhh not sure? Maybe spin the clear cover until clicks? You could maybe do a makeshift fix by taping it??
I bought this for $10. Wow didn’t know that was a steal!
Wow! Fantastic deal! Nicely done 👏🏽👏🏽
I've had one of these - or rather the previous model - for at least a decade and I made some ice cream yesterday and it was just the same as on the first day. You just have to remember two things: for best flavor and volume, refrigerate the mix overnight. Once it's done churning, unless you want to eat soft ice cream, freeze the ice cream for several hours if you want to be able to scoop it. Of course a lot depends on the recipe. I usually make ice milk using the Serious Eats recipe. And lastly if you want to make sure that your container is frozen solid, shake it and hold it close to your ear. If there's anything happening in there it's not ready!
amazing! Thanks for this tip!
Such awesome tips, thanks for sharing!
I just got mine for $20 yehey!!! Thanks for this. But theres also one i saw the yonanas making fruits to ice cream. Is that hood too or are they the same?
Yonanas? Not quite sure what that is...sorry!! 😬
Thanks for posting this. Just bought one with a gift card my sister gave me for Christmas. Going to try making egg nog ice cream. One thing that I'm worried about is the paddle. Cuisinart really cheaped out on that and I hope it holds up. The lid doesn't look very sturdy either. Guess I will have to handle it with kid gloves.
i just got a ice-20 free from one of my wifes old friends going into a nursing home YAY !
Hahah it hasn't gone wrong for me yet. You typically want to pull the ice cream as soon as it gets somewhat thick as over-mixing the ice cream is definitely a thing. I once over-mixed and I ended up with chunks of butter in my ice cream. 🤢. All that to say, it's a lot more durable than you'd think!
Nice!
I've been using mine for 4 years and it still looks great and works just fine. My husband loved eggnog and I would make eggnog ice cream for him, and he loved it. I just keep mine bowl in the freezer and the day before i want ice cream, I make the base and put it in the refrigerator because you need your base to be no more than 40 degrees F.
Just got one
Super cheap investment! Worth your while!
After purchasing and using the Cuisinart ice cream maker, I looked for reviews.
The conclusion is that I should always keep the frozen bowl in the freezer.
Good review!
What I'm looking for is ice cream without sugar-I'd use powdered erythritol instead. It's not that I'm afraid of getting fat, it's just that if I'm going to be eating a lot of ice cream, I'd prefer that there weren't sugar in it.
That said, I'd be wanting to imitate Haagen-Dazs-type ice creams as far as possible . . . is that going to be doable with this machine, or are ALL home ice cream makers going to be unable to imitate the big commercial ice creams? For instance, if I wanted to somehow do a strawberry-almond ice cream with real almond and real strawberries, is that going to be possible?
I'm an excellent cook with lots of experience with complex recipes so that's not the problem. The tool is the problem, and I know **nothing** about home-made ice cream.
Thanks in advance for any help . . .
Sorry that this insight comes two months late!
Yeah while I think this is a great beginner machine, there are some flaws I’m beginning to notice. If the bowl doesn’t get cold enough, the ice crystals won’t form before you start to whip the cream - this results in a slightly fatty film in your mouth even after it’s frozen.
If you really want to reach pinnacle ice cream making, might I suggest one of those machines with built in cooling in it? Keeps everything cooler and should result in a smoother ice cream!
Just a couple of thoughts 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheCultureofCookery Quick-before you go-can you suggest a particular one? Thanks!
Who doesn’t want a mint green ice cream maker?
😂🙋🏻♂️
Cool, just picked up this model, in red, off FM-BP for $25, going to try it tomorrow.
Such a great deal, right?! Glad you were able to get it so cheap!👌🏽
I bought mine at Goodwill for $7
Hard to beat a price that's less than a McDonald's meal!
Who sales an all-metal ice cream maker? TiA!
I think Cuisinart has an all metal ice cream maker? www.amazon.ca/Cuisinart-ICE-30BC-Indulgence-2-Quart-Automatic/dp/B0006ONQOC/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=cuisinart%2Bice%2Bcream%2Bmaker&qid=1674152343&sr=8-3&th=1
You need to pack the ice-cream from the maker into a container and put it in the freezer. The machine does not freeze the ice-cream.
Agreed, but it does produce a soft serve consistency. You can definitely get away with it - but freezing it is definitely recommended!
But how does it work, does the bowl move around, it's so liquidy.
So the bowl moves around with the paddle staying still. The residual cold from the frozen bowl is supposed to freeze the cream. It does end up more as a "soft serve" but with a little freezing in the fridge you should be good to go!
Thanks for being so upfront about this machine. I like it. I’ll try this instead of continuing to look. The low price threw me off because I thought it wouldn’t do a good job, but I like how your ice cream turned out 😊
So glad this was helpful! Have you given it a try yet? Hope it's doing the job for you 🍦
I finally bought one 😃 now to make the ice cream
Is there an ice cream maker you recommend that the tub doesn’t have to be frozen first
Cuisinart has several that don't require the pre-frozen tub. To be perfectly honest, I haven't personally tested any of those. But my friend raves about the CUISINART ICE-100. It's definitely bigger and pricier, but if you're all in on ice cream making - go for it! 👌🏽
I ordered one last night and it should be coming tomorrow. I am really excited
That's fantastic! How'd your ice cream adventures go?
I got this as gift years ago - I used it only a few times - the cost of the ingredients is high - cheaper just to buy ice cream.
It’s true that the time to make isn’t insignificant, but bragging rights are higher when you make your own 😅😁
@@TheCultureofCookery The time to make it is minimal - I was talking about the expense to make your own ice cream.
We have a different Cuisinart model (BCA30) and after more than 10 years, it's still going strong and makes delicious ice cream. I keep the bowl in a bag in the freezer so it's always ready to go.
It s a bit ugly to look at hahaha
The truth hurts sometimes 🤷🏻♂️😂
Found one at garage sale $5 score!
Definitely a bargain!! Nice!
Good video
I have the ice 100. I upgraded from a £30 freeze bowl machine. I love that the compressor allows me to make more than batch a day. I always find myself wanting to make between 2 - 3. The ice 100 allows me to do that in a single night not multiple days
Ohhh I wish I could justifying having one of those! I totally agree, the compressor would be such a great feature to have on these smaller models!
I just want 1 for low calorie protein ice cream.because its hard to find treats when watching what you eat and halo top can get pricey.iv tried other ways making I've created.an ice version in my nutribullet and it broke it.so if this does the job for an easy healthy treat I'm going to buy 1...thanks for the review
Glad I could help! Yeah, you could definitely go a healthier route by not using as much sugar, subbing with different milk substitutes. It would likely affect the texture, but if you got a banging recipe - should work out! If you do have one, I'd love to check it out. All this ice cream making is taking a toll haha
I made mine with Oatmilk (I bought the full fat variety to compensate) it worked out great!!
I found one at the Goodwill and paid $1
Wow well done! 👏
I have one of these and I love it!! I used mine again last night.
Couldn't agree more, Donna. I've got some heavy cream in the fridge waiting to be made into coffee ice cream 😁
