We’ve made two batches of delicious ice cream so far. It is very important not to overfill the tub as it starts to push out the add-in door and leaks out making a mess around the bucket. So don’t assume that the recipe you’re making won’t be too much- especially if you are adding things. It’s really convenient and nice not to have to freeze the bucket. Machine is a bit cumbersome and heavy.
Hard to clean the machine after churning. Even when filling the bowl with less the maximum amount the frozen product flaws out. There is a gap between the rubber seal and the body that can only be cleaned with a toothpick.
I finally broke down and treated myself to this ice cream maker. So much easier then having a canister taking up room in your freezer. So far it has been easy and has made some great ice cream Highly recommend this machine
This Cuisinart Ice Cream and Gelato Maker is a game changer! I have made homemade ice cream every summer and dread it because of all the prep, getting the right salt, making sure I had enough ice, etc. It is so easy to make ice cream with this Cuisinart and my family and friends are loving all the homemade ice cream! I am keeping my freezer stocked!! Love it!!
