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

Works pretty well overall. My only complaint is that the mixer tends to pile up the ice cream on one side as the ice cream is thickening, such that it is about 30% taller then the other side. The ice cream reaches the top before being thickening to a point where it just all detaches from the tank and rides the mixer paddle. Therefore, the mixing stops, which usually happens after about 25 to 30 minutes of mixing. The recipes say 40 to 45 minutes, but it never takes that long for the mixing to stop and I don't see any reason to keep going without mixing, as the temperature of the outside will continue, but the inside won't be cooling. Ice cream is great though, but I do stop the mixing a couple times towards the end to push the ice cream on the high side down to keep it from climbing up and smearing on the lid.

I have been making gelato because it has less cream in it. The Gelato is great. However, it takes a bit of effort to make it. You have to cook the milk and cream on the stove for 15 minutes. and the entire mixture needs to cool to room temperature and then cool in the frig for 2 hours. So it makes great gelato, but it is not as simple as pour the stuff in the maker and hit the button. Fairly easy clean up. So I'm very happy, but making 2 pints of gelatto can be a 2 day event. With all that effort and expense, you may decide just to buy your own. The best part is that you know every single ingredient. So if you are into doing it yourself, this is the maker you want.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We purchased recently and it was a definitely a splurge item but we love it. We have made several batches of ice cream, gelato, sorbet and just made a sherbet today. I don’t think we buy ice cream ever again. We love that you can make more than one batch in a day.

This ice cream maker quickly freezes chilled base into smooth and creamy ice cream. It’s fairly quiet and cleans up easily.

an amazing and easy to use machine. let your creativity be your guide and turn your favorite tastes into frozen deserts. So far i have made froyo, sorbet, ice cream, gelato, and custard in an assortment of flavors -- espresso, bananas foster, rice pudding, rum raisin, mango lassi, eggnog, cashew butter, and grapefruit just to name a few. I have started keeping a notebook to put down my ideas for what i want to try next.
once your ingredients are mixed and chilled it works pretty fast - 30 to 45 minutes.
one batch is enough for a large desert for 4 people or more civilized portions for a dinner party of 8.
Getting all the ice cream off of the paddle can be a little messy, but overall cleanup is quick and easy as long as you do not overfill it...
Best Christmas present ever - thanks Mom!

Easy to use, easy to clean, and efficient.
Takes up a bit of counter space, but easy to pick up and move.
