User questions & answers

Question:	how long does the ice cream last before melting after you make it
Answer:	As soon the ice cream is ready I mean after 30 minutes I put in the container and in the freezer, if it is very hot the ice cream will not stay hard.
Question:	I have a regular ice cream machine at home, but am thinking of ordering this as well. Do you think it would be worth it
Answer:	From my point of view, it is more work than it's worth. All of my recipes are for 4 or 6 quart machines, so none will work with this unit. Purchased mixes don't taste as good to me as my homemade from scratch ones. No ice, no salt is true, but you have to freeze the insulated mixing bowl for a minimum of 12 hours before using it. 24 hours works better, and then refreeze the contents you don't use right away, in the bowl, so you can dispense them using the machine again. Plus, it's mostly plastic. If you drop it, it breaks and needs to be replaced. My opinion, stay with a 4 or 6 quart electric machine that lasts and produces more ice cream.
Question:	Does this machine require purchase of a special mix, or can you make ice cream using a recipe for typical "churned" type product
Answer:	No special mix. The recipe in the book (that comes with it) for vanilla ice cream calls for whole milk, sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla.
Question:	Should I buy another bowl for a different flavor? My grandsons don't like the same flavor? Can it be emptied and used again right after
Answer:	Maybe, but the problem would be the coldness of the bowl. If you quickly scraped out the first flavor and immediately put in the mix for the next flavor it might work as long as the bowl doesn't warm up. You couldn't wash it out as that would warm the bowl. Take turns making their favorite flavors.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this device make yogurt
Answer:	The description says that it can make frozen yogurt - to just use the ice cream setting. Cook's has a delicious recipe for frozen ginger yogurt, including instructions on how to keep it from tasting chalky or being too "icy".
Question:	Can I purchase extra bowls to freeze in refrigerator and if so, where do I go or what is the part number on Amazon to acquire them
Answer:	I bought the Tovolo Ice cream tubs and they are very sturdy with a removable inner plastic liner for easy cleaning. The large bowl itself that fits inside the machine is not supposed to have ice cream frozen in it because it can damage it. I leave the empty bowl in my freezer until I'm ready to make a batch and then empty the contents into a Tovolo tub. I looked at other tubs but this brand seemed to have the best reviews, was reusable, and decent in price. They fit about 1.5 quarts and I have a little extra in the machine that I either eat or just put in a small Tupperware dish. I know you can go directly on the Cuisinart website if you need any part numbers for a specific model. I did see extra bowls for the machine on their site and on amazon. Just get your model number for your machine and type that in the search box.
Question:	Does anyone know how this compares to the ICE-60W model
Answer:	The ICE-70 is a step up from the ICE-60W model -- it has an auto count-down feature. I chose the ICE-70 over any other model based on this article on the Best Ice Cream makers: http://bit.ly/1TClJZl.
Question:	Has anyone tried making Gelato? How does it turn out
Answer:	Gelato turns out very good. My wife tried a few different variations of coffee flavored gelato and we were happy every single time.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why won't my lid stay on
Answer:	Because the plastic dasher/paddle gets warped (at first I thought it was from washing the paddle in the dishwasher, but I'm on my second machine after maybe five years and washing it in hot water after using it seems to have done the same thing so perhaps it's just from use) and so it doesn't revolve "flatly" in the circular groove in the clear plastic cover when it's placed on top. I find that eventually it seems to settle down and revolve evenly without any wobbling, so to speak. Rather than use tape, I've used a small but heavy pan with a base a bit larger than the top of the machine set on top of the clear plastic cover until it's revolving evenly - maybe the first five minutes of use. Other than that, and the need to use a hard - but not too hard: it has to have some flex - plastic utensil to remove the last of the frozen ice cream from the interior bottom and sides of the freezer bowl because it's made of aluminum and scratches incredibly easily, it's a terrific unit.
Question:	my machine will not freeze the mixture after the tub in freezer for a week. its like cold milk with some ice. two different batches same results.Why
Answer:	Quality ice cream from plain milk?? no way! I use half and half along with heavy cream and get the most delicious ice cream you can imagine! and in only 25 minutes. Also turn your freezer down. If your freezer is empty it may not even go to zero degrees! I clean and rinse the tub quickly and return it to the freezer quickly. Its still mostly frozen when I put it back in and only takes 2-3 hours to refreeze completely! I bought a second tub but never need to use it! This thing has worked perfectly for me and everyone loves my ice cream! The secret is in the better ingredients. more costly yes...but sooo worth it! My recipe: 3cups of half and half. 2cups of heavy cream. 1&1/2 cups of C&H sugar dissolved in the cream. 2 table spoons of imitation vanilla. 1 tiny pinch of salt. Try you will love it! Please don't order a round steak and expect a filet mignon. life does not happen that way. ENJOY!
Question:	Is the interior of the mixing bowl stainless steel
Answer:	The interior of the mixing bowl scratched after first use. So I don't think it is stainless steel
Question:	Is Cuisinant ICE-30BC machine easier than Cuisinart ICE-21 to use
Answer:	They both look exactly the same in function, its just the 21 is a bit smaller and has more plastic. Check this guy's video on Youtube and it breaks down the ICE-21. http://youtu.be/jPPdSCHBTR4And he did the same for the ICE-30BC: http://youtu.be/Q40vHKdJmpY

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone left the sugar out (or only used a couple of tablespoons)? How does the amount of sugar affect the texture of the finished product
Answer:	Short answer: no. Dissolved solids are what suppress the freezing point and sugars are your primary source of these. You can reduce sugars by substituting some other solids, like nonfat dry milk (make sure to get 100% skim milk solids). Is your goal reducing sweetness or reducing caloric sugar? If the former, change the sugars you use. Use a mix of dextrose (pure glucose) and table sugar. Dextrose is only 70% as sweet but has nearly double the freezing point suppression. If you want sweetness but no the sugar calories, a portion of the sugar can be replaced by non-digestible sugar alcohols. I'd recommend erythritol. But be careful; if you consume too much it can cause digestive discomfort. And it doesn't taste 100% like sugar. I wouldn't substitute more than 60% of the sugar or so.
Question:	Can I make a pint of ice cream in one use, or do I have to make the full 1.5 qt
Answer:	Absolutely you can. And like Calvin said, the less ice cream you make the faster it freezes. I have had mine for over a year now and it continues to work flawlessly. Excellent product.
Question:	Trying to decide between Cuisinart ICE-100 and Breville BCI600XL. Would love your thoughts
Answer:	I bought this machine at an estate sale for $15. It looked like it had never been used. I just pulled it out after about 3 months. With no experience at all having made ice cream I watched some YouTube videos and decided on a custard base (made with egg yolks). I pour straight into the machine hot from the stove and in about an hour and 20 minutes I have soft serve ice cream. It’s the best I’ve ever had. The machine is a dream! It’s SOOOOO. Easy to use AND addictive! My first day I made 3 quarts of frozen custard. I don’t think I’ll ever buy ice cream at the store again.
Question:	Really? (Amazon) claims 45% savings off price ($545). Come one, retail price from Cusinart is $299. zero/nada/0 % savings
Answer:	Yup, I agree. It is sad indeed that I have to go to other online retailers to figure out the current retail price vs what Amazon calculates it to be to raise the % to make it look like a steal....and after seeing that I am only getting like $4 off of a high priced item, then most daily deals that grab my attention go ignored after calculating the tax vs. Eb @i which still doesn't charge tax. It reminds me of a store that opened up about 10 years ago at the mall. They sold made in china houshold furniture that looked nice. They would have a cheap made wooden chair with a ticket price of $499 but since the store was always at a "closing sale" then you could get everything on the store at a whopping 75% off! That store had a closing sale till it did close about 8 years later.

User questions & answers

Question:	is the mixing paddle supposed to turn? mine doesn't seem to do that, just the container turns
Answer:	Just read and review booklet instructions and it states the bowl and not the paddle turns. I also thought I had a defective ice cream machine until I re-read directions. Cuisinart should really print in boldface this fact. Would definitely save much aggravation. I love my Cuisinart ice cream machine !!!
Question:	does this make good yogurt
Answer:	I make frozen yogurt with this every week, and my recipe is SO easy: 1 quart VANILLA (not plain) yogurt, 1 pkg thawed frozen cherries (or berries of any type). No salt, no sugar, no milk, no nothin' else. Turn it on for 20 minutes and you're done. Yummy frozen yogurt. Other favorite flavors, always beginning with VANILLA yogurt: 1) coconut and chopped pecans; 2) 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips
Question:	Can I make ice cream using this machine without eggs?, and does the maker come with a recipe book
Answer:	I stopped using eggs because for some reason, the ice cream would freeze too hard. I now use: 1 cup cream, 2 cup half-and-half, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon vodka (helps the freezing), pinch of salt, pinch of cinnamon. It's great.
Question:	As soon as my ice cream maker is full it continually roams around the counter what's up with that
Answer:	That sometimes happens due to having an extremely flat surface and moisture condensation buildup underneath the ice cream maker. It's science not magic.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this bowl work and fit with the cuisinart ice
Answer:	No, this is a 2-quart bowl; the Cuisinart ICE-21 requires the 1½-quart freezer bowl, which may be found here:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004S9D3/ref=sr_1_1?m=A13HTXU7N5QMMA
Question:	Does this also fit the ICE
Answer:	Yes it does. I just purchased the ICE 70 Pure Indulgence 2 quart ice cream maker and this replacement freezer bowl fits perfectly! What a relief to after searching and searching online and not finding anything specifically for the ICE-70 model. The box actually says "Replacement Bowl for 2 Quart Models."
Question:	Will this work with CIM
Answer:	Yes it will. My husband bought a used CIM-60 but it did not come with a bowl. We got this to try and it has worked perfectly.
Question:	Is the inside of the bowl stainless steel, or does it have a nonstick finish
Answer:	I called Cuisinart. The bowl interior is aluminum coated with xylan. This is of Aug. 23, 2020.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you make dairy free ice cream in this
Answer:	Yes. I make my shake with almond milk in my Blender then pour it into the ice cream machine. It comes out great.
Question:	Does this really only make 1 quart? It is showing larger dimensions than the 1.5 quart (identical looking) cuisinart ice cream maker

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work, if i want to use it to transfer the ice cream i made? to keep the ice cream cold for a longer time during the travel? say 30 minutes
Answer:	Yes, I re-freeze this after making sorbet/ice cream and then put the frozen treat in a container that fits inside. I thencover with another cold/freezer pack and put in cooler bag. After 1.5 hours of driving the sorbet was still solid.
Question:	Has anyone ever successfully made 2 batches of ice cream without re-freezing the canister between productions
Answer:	I have tried it and no, the second batch did NOT freeze up properly. Since I often have two flavors when I entertain, or need more than 1 and 1/2 quarts of ice cream, I bought a second canister. NOW I can make two batches in a row.
Question:	Is it possible to buy a lid for this? It would help keep the ice cream fresh and also keep the bowl clean when sitting in the freezer
Answer:	The lids for the Pyrex 1.75 qt round glass storage container fit this ice cream container perfectly.
Question:	What does the bottom of this look like? I need one that has a 10-sided 'flower' on the bottom where the turning device fits in
Answer:	The bottom of this looks like a flower petal.
