I looked at 7 other review videos, yours included, and you were by far the most informative and best video. You were so smart, and really taught me so much. Thank you. I wish I could direct everyone to this video because it's top quality.
Thank you! I just got one for my birthday. I went by the simple recipe for vanilla ice cream. Made a test batch for the dog. It's ok after being in the freezer. But not what I was wanting. But after watching a few videos, I believe my problem is, my bowl didn't get frozen enough. Going to try a new batch, making the base, and cooling it down. I've learned so much. Hopefully my next batch will turn out better. I'm not giving up! If I can learn to make all kinds of bread, I'm dang sure I can make ice cream! Thanks again!
Thanks for addressing the problem of the ice cream freezing to the sides of the bowl. I'm having that problem and it really does make a difference to the end product. I end up scraping it off and incorporating it into the finished ice cream, but the texture changes then. I will try your method of using my thumb to push the dasher.
Great video, thanks so much. All questions I had were answered! Only thing I had to do was look up conversions to your measurements because we do not use metrics and celsius in the USA.
Great video.... pleasant, visually appealing.... informative. I like your quiet, simple, easy to understand style.
Excellent video with honest and helpful tips about the product.
Thank you for a wonderful and informative video. I'm looking at buying one of these for my husband. I don't know how cold my freezer can reach but I'll test when I get off work today.
Wonderful. You do videos so well. Very professional, easy to understand and nice to look at. Well done! Keep up the good work!
:)
David Essex agreed
this is an informative and thorough review. I'm going to check out your channel :) Good work!
Awesome videos! I have the same machine. Not sure if my freezer can get down to -27F, but I'm willing to use dry ice before churning!
You do such good reviews! How do you not get more views?!?!
I’ve jus t bought 0ne of these machines. Excellent top tips here with lots of helpful guidance. Thank you!
great tips and the ice cream looks perfect. you've sold me on this maker.
Best review I've seen on this item.
This is very good review. Thank you very much!
Anyway, What is the room temperature?
Thanks to your video demo, I now know that the mixing arm is supposed to remain stationary. Very helpful to know, as the Cuisinart instruction booklet and demo video do not indicate this.
Wow, I'm impressed, great review, great tips, very professional presentation and knowledge, thank you! I'll be checking your reviews in the future
Without a doubt the best review of this product I've seen so far!! :) Thank you for this super professional and objective review as well as the great tips!!
p.s. Have you ever tried making frozen yoghurt or low(er)-fat ice-cream in this machine? If you have, would love to know how it turned out. Thanks!! :)
2130isis Many thanks for the kind words! :) Haven't tried making frozen yogurt yet but it is on my to-do list. I will post the recipe on my blog as soon as i give it a go!
Really helpful review thanks - thought my new machine was broken because of the noise but you reassured me. GREAT tasting ice cream though !
:)
I've been looking into videos for I've cream maker to recommend to my siblings. I have one with a different brand... you do really good videos
Wow, with the freezer set to super freeze the texture is so gummy. Definitely need to give it a go. Also, I like how you scrape the dasher over the bowl and then transfer the mix. They way I used to do it was such a faff. In the future I'm thinking of upgrading to the Gaggia ice cream maker with the built-in compressor. Maybe you should give it a try.
Congratulations for your videos!!
Best review of this product.
Very thorough review:)thank you
Hi ruben, i am wondering what's the differences between compressor and non compressor machine? Btw this video is great
Top Notch Review!
Love it.
Hi there, i got this machine the other day. I also found the mixture sticking to sides as you say in your video. I had it on the bottom also. The dasher doesn't touch bottom of bowl either i think as build up was there too. In your video what recipe are you using out of their manual?
Looks good. Do the hand cranked machines give a better texture? And is the Andrew James 30 quid one better?
Did they ever come out with a quieter version where the dasher reaches the edge of the bowl?
What is the recipe for your mixture please? It looks yummy.
Ciao Ruben, it seems you use the same recipe for icecream as well as video making: hard work, passion and professionality. Very well done! Not having the money for a Lello Musso Mini or a Nemox 1700, I was happy to hear from you that the Cuisineart ICE30 makes an excellent icecream even if it uses passive freezing. So I ordered it yesterday :) Now I am wondering if you tried frozen yogurt and if I can make vegan icecream with this machine using almond milk and vegan cream and of course no eggs. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot and ciao from Italy!
Hi Annie! Great to hear that you went with the ICE30! How are you getting on with it? I haven't tried making frozen yoghurt myself but the ICE-30 can freeze and churn both frozen yoghurt and vegan ice cream. I'm in the process of researching vegan ice cream and hope to post my research on the blog. I don't yet have a vegan recipe but I'm working on it! :) All the best to you in Italy, Ruben.
Nice tight production, but could use metrics to help with comparisons with other machineds Clock for speed of churning, Clock for over all production, Thermometer for start and end temps of ingredients, and pre and post temp of frozen churning bowl. Also is there a test for granularity of ice crystals? Do you measure per cent air by weight? Over all, Well Done!!! :-)
good reviews!
I just called Cuisinart to enquire about this problem with the non-scrapping paddle... no one could help so i decided to look it up on youtube... and here it is..the first video I click! haha .... the good news is... my ice cream maker is not broken... bad news is...i will have to keep holding the paddle to make it right .... thanx for the video man!
Hope it helped. It still makes excellent ice cream even if you don't push the dasher against the side of the bowl.
I love mine!
thank you
Thanks for the details. But I am worry about recipe ?
My bowl has been in the freezer for 18 hours and it still isn't frozen. Any tips?
Hello, Would you say the Musso 4080 makes much better ice cream?
Very helpful!!
Thank you!
:)
thank you for explaining the use of your thumb to scrape the bowl. Mine is smaller so I'll experiment with that. Is there a reason why you use wooden spoons? Is that better for scraping the bowl?
A wooden spoon is what I had available at the time and they are quite large sturdy when it comes to scooping out the ice cream. A large plastic spatula would also work :)
Thanks so much. Very helpful indeed.
:)
Greetings: King, Thank you so much! For all of your knowledge tips and support as well! Have a peaceful day and remember stay encouraged as well Daily! 👑💯👆🏾🏆😋💚🥇
Go on!!!

I just got one of these and made my first batch. It came out hard but still tasty. That buildup between the dasher and the bowl turned out to be a lot thicker than the original gap between the bowl and the dasher. I'll have to do that thumb trick. I can't see inside, so I have a couple questions. Are you pushing directly on the dasher's blade? (I doubt "blade" is the correct word. I mean the part that touches the bowl.) It looks like you are, but your thumb seems to come out clean. Also, what are you doing with the spoon at 3:33?
Hi there, yes I push directly on the dasher blade, towards the top of the blade to avoid touching the mix. At 3:33, I'm moving the static clumps of ice cream that form on the slight horizontal bit of the blade. It's a good idea to keep the ice cream constantly moving against the cold bowl wall; static clumps in the warmer centre of the bowl will have larger ice crystals and coarse texture. Hope that answers your questions. Let me know if you need a hand with anything. All the best, Ruben.
+Ruben Porto Thanks, that answered them. I just made another batch, and I found another reason why not to make a full 2 quart batch. It makes it hard to see any of those static clumps. Also, that thumb trick soon becomes frozen thumb torture :) (I used a wooden spoon instead.)
Beautiful review , my refrigerator won't freeze that good , it ruined my ice cream . And my kids are disappointed and sad waiting for ice cream
read your website. absolutely wonderful
Thank you for this informative video! May I know what's the difference between this and Cuisineart's CIM-60PCFR?
Ct Czara Hi Czara! The Cuisinart CIM-60PCFR is the same as the ICE-30. I think the 60PCFR is the newer model that comes in a brushed-crome finish. Hope that helps!
Ruben Porto That's great! Thank you so much!
What is the point to keep the hand inside?
just seeing this review in 2021 ( your review was posted 8 yrs ago, if your still comparing units what do you think of the Cuisinart ICE21 ?
Probably exactly the same ice cream quality, just a smaller bowl.
How would the machine do with a gelato custard (no cream) and a sorbet? Will the gelato come out store quality?
Jonah Zelinka Hello Jonah!I have made sorbet in the machine before and it came out great! Never tried gelato, although I'm sure the quality would be as good as the ice cream. It will depend largely on the recipe and preparation method you use, not so much on the machine. Hope that helps.
Recipe ?
I just got mine and when I turned it on the motor made a sort of sandy gritty sound. Did that happen to you?
It is quite a loud machine
Have you tried the newest model? the 70? I read where one reviewer on amazon says there really is no difference in operation to the 30 and they feel like the company is blowing smoke up the general publics dairy air (pun intended). Would love to know what you think before I make my purchase between the two. They boast a better arm design and faster production time on the 70 yet I see their average doesn't seem to waver much from 20 to 25min. on any of their products.
Hi there! I haven't tried the ICE-70 but it does look like there is no beneficial difference to the ICE-30. They both use the same freezer bowl and the dasher speed settings seem to be redundant. Dairy air - that's good! :) Faster production time is nonsense as this depends primarily on the temperature of your freezer and the freezer bowl, not on the machine itself (although faster dasher speeds - not applicable on the ICE-70 as domestic machines aren't capable of fast speeds - and more efficient scraping of the bowl wall, by having the dasher closer to the wall, does also contribute to freezing time). I'd be interested in seeing how close the dasher gets to the wall though. My guess is that Cuisinart have just updated the ICE-30 with a better looking machine and I don't think aesthetics are worth the extra money. I'm confident that the 70 produces the exact same textured ice cream as the cheaper 30. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions and good luck with whichever machine you go with. Ruben :)
I used my Ice-30 today and it made Great ice-cream. I really didn't have the frozen to the sides issue as it all scraped right off with ease with the rubber spatula. It worked great! Thankyou for your skillful review and helping me choose what unit to buy. :)
I hope someone watching this can help. The company who makes these machines are not too good at answering messages it seems.
I have only used this once because of the disaster it turned into. Ended up with the side coating (which, thanks to this video, I can fix) and almost 1cm of coating stuck to the bottom which required soaking to remove. The rest was icy. I followed all instructions and recipe to the t, and used the spoon just like Ruben did. It all went down the sink with hot soapy water. I really am stuck with this, so any help would be appreciated.
Deb M same experience
@Ruben Porto
you handsome devil! thx for the review mate x
stupid tags :(
Ingredients???
What about making coffee flavored ice Cream =D ?
What’s the recipe?
Same experience , the ice cream sticks to the bowl
should i get this or the ice-100?
If you have the budget go for the ICE-100. If you want to save some cash, don't mind making just one batch of ice cream at a time, and have a really cold freezer, go for the ICE-30 or ICE-70. Hope that helps. Ruben
Bless
Reviews & videos dont get much better thanks.
That's very kind, thank you Melissa!
Please share your ice cream recipe
Hey Melissa, it's on my blog icecreamscience.com under Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Recipe. I'm working to update it in order to make it easier to make at home. Hope that helps. Ruben
Doesn't it hold 2 quarts
Christine Colton - This guy is British, so uses the metric system.
What a cutie.
How can you have 100% air in ice cream...It would be all air??
If you start with 100ml of ice cream mix, whip it in your ice cream machine, and then extract 200ml of churned ice cream, you have a product with 100% overrun. Hope that helps.
ok i get the maths now. thanks
I'm eating 100% air "ice cream" right now... yumm
Que sea en español
Wish you'd let us hear how loud it is
Very good point. I thought I had done, oops
You are cute! Besides that also great review..
ال
You're soooo cute! :3
Perry Quejada 100%
The plastic churning tool DOES not scrape the sides of the bowl, Terrible design but thanks for the tip of pushing it against the side of the bowl. I tried TWO times to use this model and both times it froze solid to the sides that the machine jammed and litterally stopped turning. EXTREMELY dissapointing design
I'd recommend getting the dasher for the updated ICE-70, sits much closer to the side of the bowl 😀
When you see reviews like this great, it really make me question why they even allow others to review things. This video makes others look like a kindergartener did them
How are you supposed to control people who want to review something they bought? And, if companies had control over that wouldn't it take away the reviews credibility?
WOW, this cuisinart is NOISY and sounds like its dying......and its my first time using it
Pat i totally agree with you 200% . just got mine today. sound like an old tractor and turning / churning seem so slow i thought motor gone wrong and got faulty product. Not what i expected. Any product always looks good in video but not the real thing.
Yes this machine is quite loud
Economy ice creams can have up to 100% air? Huh? That would just be... air.
+VTBiker I think 100% means all the air you could possibly get into it, kinda like how 100% humidity doesn't mean you're breathing pure water.
I think it's more like 100% added air by volume. Like, given a batch of two cups of ice cream base, you get a final product with a volume of four cups.
"Cheaper ice cream can have a 100% air." How is that possible? If it contained 100% air it would be air!
Meaning you've expanded the ice cream by 100% with air. Not in terms of 100% air as a proportion of entire mixture of ice cream and air.
100% air gives you more profit though, if you're an ice cream maker. Good for making economical ice creams that are cheap to make.
