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.

Question:	Are White mountain ice-cream makers made in the USA
Answer:	NO, NO, NO....I bought one of these 4 days ago at a local retailer. It says made in USA all over the box. Before I bought it, I called the number on the website, and asked the customer support person where it was made. She told me that the parts are made in the USA, but they are assembled in Mexico. I was looking for an AMERICAN MADE, AMERICAN BUILT unit, but I was under a time crunch. Reluctantly, I bought it. I opened the box, and the first thing I saw was a sticker on the motor that said made in china, plain as day. I used this thing one time. It did work, and made ice cream as advertised, but after washing it, drying the parts, and putting it away, I looked at it again 2 days later, and the metal mechanism that the paddles attach to were rusting!! Are you kidding me?? $270.00 for one batch of ice cream! What a bargain. Needless to say I returned it today. Their own company doesn't even know where their products are made!! If it seems like I am upset, I am. Nothing is made in the USA anymore, and quality suffers tremendously. By the way, all the inside metal parts are plated, not stainless steel like they should be. The only thing I saw that was stainless was the actual cylinder. Don't waste your money. If anyone out there knows of a truly American made and American built ice cream maker, please tell us on here.

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

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.

Question:	I purchased this in 2011, but finally got around to opening it. There is no manual and no receipe. Do you have a link to one
Answer:	I just received mine 2 months ago and had no manual or recipe book in the packaging. I found this simple recipe for Old Fashioned Vanilla ice cream and my family loves it. It is not the custard type so requires no cooking. 2 cups heavy cream. 2 cups whole milk. 3/4 cup of sugar. 2 teaspoons good vanilla ( I use one vanilla bean). Pinch of salt. Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth. Pour into ice cream canister. Layer ice and rock salt or ice cream salt in the ice cream maker's bucket and turn it on. It takes about 25 minutes until soft serve and then I put it in a freezer container until hardened. It works well for us. Amazon says you can contact the manufacturer for a manual but I just googled recipes for it. Hope his helps!
