I was really surprised how quick and easy it was to make homemade ice cream. The recipes that are included are really simple and good. I was also impressed how quite the machine was as well.

This icemaker is very easy to use and makes ice cream within 20 minutes. Amazing! If you like soft serve ice cream it comes out perfectly when it’s done, but if you want it to be firmer, it has to go into the freezer. After three different recipes I am finding it is a little icy after you freeze it so I’m hoping to find a recipe that keeps it creamy after frozen

Received this as a gift since my family knows I’m an ice cream fanatic, but had never made ice cream before. I followed a recipe in the Salt and Straw recipe book and it came out perfectly in this machine. The texture was incredible and the machine was so easy to use. The bowl has enough thermal mass to stay ice cold for well over 30 minutes of churning.

After 2 uses the bowl won’t freeze. It was placed flat in freezer
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your experience — we’re sorry the bowl isn’t freezing properly. For best results, ensure the bowl is completely dry before placing it flat in the freezer and allow sufficient time (typically 24 hours) for it to reach the correct temperature; avoid storing it near strongly scented foods. Our Consumer Assistance Center can provide further guidance or review replacement options at 1-800-726-0190. Please reference Ticket #8900519938 when you call so we can assist you directly.

The churning takes a bit of time and happens a little unevenly, but patience is rewarded. I like that the ice cream maker is so simple and easy to use. There’s one button. The mechanism is transparent and easy to understand.
