Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart Pure Indulgence 2-Quart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker, BlackCustomer Review: Almost Too EZ! Summary: 5 Stars
This is my 2nd ice cream maker, and i graduated from using Hamilton Beach 68330R 4-Quart Automatic Ice-Cream Maker
This is a wonderful product, because you can just put the canister in the fridge, leave it.. and when you are ready to use it, take it out, pour the ingredients in, and start it up, i normally make a full batch of 2qt and it comes out in 40 mins. I tend to like my ice cream on the softer side, so this makes it just right for me. If you want your ice cream harder, add a little more cream (subtract milk) and it will come out harder.
Clean up is pretty easy if you let it warm up, otherwise, if it's still very cold, after you rinse it, and try to use a paper towel, it will stick to the insides.
So far i've made 3 batches, and they've all come out perfect. I made Vanilla, Strawberry and a Blueberry. I add a cup of fruit at the end (mooshed up first) and they always come out great.
Just be warned that 2qt is 2qt.. so if you add a cup of fruit, you'll wind up with some spilling out the top over the inner canister. It doesn't make a mess though, because the canister has a groove around the outer part to capture spillage, so i never had a problem with adding a cup worth of fruit.. i'm just saying that it's better to subtract about 1/2 cup of liquid to make sure you have plenty of room.
Initially when you add the liquid you might think there's plenty of room, but after it freezes up in the machine and churns, you soon see that it'll fill it to the top.
all i can say is that without needing to get ice and salt every-time i make ice cream is fantastic, and it's so easy that we tend to make it every weekend now.
plus, if you make ice cream more than 15 times it's paid itself off, just in the savings of a bag of ice + a can of salt + time that i used up in my old ice cream maker.
also, it's not silent, but it's not really too loud either. my old ice cream maker was SOOOOO loud, i had to make it in the garage, but this one i use in the kitchen, and it's not too bad.
I really can't recommend this ice cream maker enough.. i know it may seem a little pricey compared to the others, but you will not be disappointed if you buy this model.
** 3/15/2011 - I just wanted to post a quick update. It's been awhile since i bought it, and i've made ice cream every weekend since i bought it. Still going strong, still easy to make. I didn't mention it before, but the whole reason i'm making this myself is because i like to use Raw milk and Raw cream in my ice cream recipes. Plus i can make sure to use all organic products. I thought i would share some of my recipes for other people.
