Customer Reviews for Cuisinart - Ice Cream and Gelato Maker - Black/Stainless Steel

Very easy to use and makes good gelato, but I have a couple of complaints. First, the lid is a bit flimsy. The flap to add ingredients has already fallen off a few times due to the ice cream being pushed up against it and popping it off. My other complaint is that it says it's for 1.5 quart, and it also says not to fill the canister above the top rung of the paddle. But the first few times when I poured in only a quart of gelato mix, it went over this top rung. Since the directions say not to fill past that point, I don't know how this would make 1.5 quarts when 1 quart does not fit. I have to make the gelato in pint batches, which is a pain. Also, most recipes call for churning for 30 minutes, but as mentioned before, with this machine the gelato starts bunching up to one side of the paddle and pushes up against the lid after only 20 minutes.

Did some research, read many reviews. Reviews can be very misleading. I only read the bad reviews and try to figure if they are r3al problems or just someone that does not follow the instructions.
To date I have made about 20 loads of ice cream. I use the strawberry recipe. Just modify what fruit I want to put in. I have never been disappointed. Cherry, strawberry, chocolate chip, pineapple/coconut, Oh and vanilla have all come out excellent. Would I recommend? Yes I would but first read as much as you can get your hands on about ice cream freezers. The only thing I would wish for is this one but a little more capacity.

Never have to freeze an insert again - this machine lets you make multiple batches of ice cream, each freezing perfectly. And, as a bonus, it keeps it cold for later.

It’s easy. It’s fast.
I’ve made 4 batches.
1) online snickerdoodle recipe, used the 2 hour pre cool recommendation and it turned out wonderfully.
2) repeat 1, but cut portion in half and did not do pre cool, and it turned out wonderfully.
3) repeat 1, but did not pre cool and it turned out wonderfully
4) did the strawberry recipe that comes with it, pre cooled overnight, and have to say it’s the best strawberry ice cream I’ve had.
Can’t wait to try others.

My son loves ice cream and could eat it everyday. I got this one so we wouldn’t have to freeze the container before using. This way we can make multiple flavors rather quickly. Makes an awesome soft serve style when finished and my son likes his firmer so he freezes his longer before eating. I only hope we don’t burn it up making so much ice cream. This is not a promotional review as I did purchase this on my own.

I love my Cuasinart ice cream maker the only issue is trying to get a replacement bucket or extra buckets so I can make several different flavors one right after the other. When you wash the bucket it has to dry out completely so it doesn't make the ice cream stick to the sides it would also be great if you could make one that has a more none stick sides and bottom somehow to make getting ice cream out easier. Thanks.
