User questions & answers

Question:	Is it easy to use
Answer:	Very Easy to use. Bought this one as a wedding present and they love it and also stated that it was easy to use. This is my second purchase for this model.
Question:	Can you make sherbets and sorbets with this ice cream maker
Answer:	Hello Catherine, Yes, the recipe book that came with the ice cream maker has recipes for sherbet and sorbet. I have used other recipes other than the ones in the book that it came with and they worked fine. I would think that any ice cream maker would be able to make any frozen desserts. There are also recipes for frozen yogurt.
Question:	DOes it come with a cap to cover the container while its in the freezer
Answer:	I find it best to put the leftovers in 16oz plastic containers or what size you want. It keeps for a few weeks that way.
Question:	how do you use it
Answer:	Put the mixture in the metal container and close it. Be sure the dasher/beater is in it. Hook up the motor. Start machine. Pack in layers with ice, then rock salt (1st layer goes up approx. 1/3 the height of the container), then more ice and more rock salt and continue on until you have layered up to the top. The machine should be running while you are doing this. Keep adding more ice and rock salt as it melts until the churning slows down and stops due to the thickness of the ice cream. The ice cream will be soft and should sit for a few minutes before the dasher is removed from the container. Remove the container from the ice and salt surrounding it. Freeze overnight if possible as the ice cream will harden as it freezes. Adding rennet to your ice cream mixture will insure a more solid texture but this depends on the recipe, and it is optional. Enjoy your machine. Hint: If you are using Vanilla, Mexican Vanilla will add a slightly coconut taste to some recipes....we love it and prefer the Mexican Vanilla.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the dimensions of freezer bowl
Answer:	6" tall 7" wide
Question:	I'm quite confused. The listing says that it doesn't use rock salt but these reviews indicate that it does. Salt or no salt
Answer:	The confusion is being caused by having all three listed as if they were color options. The WHITE 68880 (left) and RED 68881 (middle) models are 1.5 qt and use a freezer container and NOT ROCK SALT OR ICE. The WHITE 68330N model (right) is a 4qt that uses rock salt and ice. All three are listed near the "Color" selection box on the their main pages and have the same pool of customer reviews.
Question:	Does anyone know if you can buy the freezer bowls by themselves? I really like this machine and would love to have a couple of extra bowls
Answer:	Yes, I finally called Hamilton Beach with the phone number off of there site and found that they do sell the freezer bowls by themselves for $9.99. But, they are out of stock for now and I was told to call back in couple of weeks. Hope this helps.
Question:	The product description says no rock salt required, but most of the reviews mention using it. What's the story here
Answer:	The confusion is being caused by having all three listed as if they were color options. The WHITE 68880 (left) and RED 68881 (middle) models are 1.5 qt and use a freezer container and NOT ROCK SALT OR ICE. The WHITE 68330N model (right) is a 4qt that uses rock salt and ice. All three are listed near the "Color" selection box on the their main pages and have the same pool of customer reviews.
Question:	Can this be used to make vegan ice creams
Answer:	Yes I would soften them up before freezing your vegan mix
Question:	Can the bottom be separated? There is no crack in the outer bowl. I'm hearing water in between the inner/outer casing and unable to open it to drain
Answer:	No it can't. What you are hearing is not water but the solution, in some cases a gel like substance that freezes when put into tbe freezer. When frozen it keeps the bowl cold while the ice cream is churning. Hope you enjoy your machine we have 2 and we are delighted with both! The secret is making sure the bowl is well frozen. At least 24 to 48 hrs. Before use.
Question:	how does it work? my sister did not give me the instruction book
Answer:	You freeze the bucket in your freezer for at LEAST 24 hours. 2 days is better, and if you have space you can just leave it in the freezer indefinitely until you are ready to use it. When you are ready to make ice cream, you mix up whatever recipe of ice cream you want (about 4 cups liquid to put in, because it expands), CHILL this mixture in the fridge, and then take out the bucket, pour in the ice cream mix, and put the paddle and lid/motor element on top, plug it in, and let it run. It should freeze up in about 30 minutes (it depends on the mixture and other factors). Then you eat! Pretty easy and works well. Easy to clean, too.

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:	What is the gurantee on this item
Answer:	Expiration date is listed on box between the LOT number and SN number.
Question:	Can you purchase extra paddle, bowl & lid
Answer:	Do not know! Think the end is coded for a specific glucometer!
Question:	What rpm does the paddle spin at
Answer:	The ones I got were not expired, or close to expiring. But, I tested four times a day at that point, so they weren’t going to last long.
Question:	is there an audio indicator that sounds when the product is done
Answer:	Only place I could find it was Diabetic Warehouse online. They seem to have discontinued it and this must be old stock. Such a shame. It was much easier than fiddling around with strips.
