Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is. It is recommended that you place the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer where it is the coldest. Be sure to place the freezer bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing.Generally, freezing time is between 16 hours and 24 hours. Shake the bowl to determine whether it is completely frozen. If you do not hear the liquid within the bowl moving, the cooling liquid is therefore frozen. For the most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. Use the bowl immediately after removing from the freezer. It will begin to quickly defrost once it has been removed for the freezer.Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure proper freezing of all foods.Making Frozen Desserts or DrinksUse Cuisinart recipes included in the Instruction Booklet or use your own recipe, making sure it yields 1-1/2 quarts or less. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer and place on the center of the base. The bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from the freezer. Use it immediately after removing from freezer.Place mixing paddle in freezer bowl. It rests in the center of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.Place lid on the base and rotate clockwise until tabs on lid lock in place on base.Press On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl will begin to turn.Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout. NOTE: Ingredients must be added to the freezer bowl after the unit is turned on.Frozen desserts or drinks will be done in less than 20 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert you are making. When the mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours.Adding IngredientsIngredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert has began to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
No, it isn't perfect. But despite a few drawbacks I'd gladly give it 5 stars.First you should know I don't read instructions, so some of my comments may be pointed out in the booklet that is included.If you want to go into the ice cream business, or make gallons of frozen desserts for a party, this is not the device to do it. But if you want to make a quart of your own frozen concoction, with whatever flavor you choose, this gadget is both effective and fun to use. I've made ginger, pomegranate, and other tasty treats that don't last long in the freezer.Things to be aware of before purchasing:The end result of your efforts will not be a half gallon (or what a half gallon is now, a quart and a half) like you pull from the freezer section at the grocery store. The end result is more like soft serve and in the still frozen container that is a pain to handle or transfer the contents into a suitable container. It would be nice to have a handle or holder for the bowl so you can scoop out the finished product. Somewhat of a poor design in that respect.You don't want to fill the bowl up, as the contents tend to expand, and you will be left with a drippy mess if you're not careful.Don't put the ingredients in the frozen container before your ready to get moving. The contents will freeze quickly making it difficult or impossible to insert the paddle or get it to turn. You be waiting for the thing to thaw and ultimately likely have a wasted effort. I've found it easiest to get the thing moving and add the ingredients through the opening at the top. That way you'll be assured that it won't jam or not move at all. Or worse yet, break the paddle or burn out the motor.You need to freeze the bowl for quite a long time before using. As long as a day in a very cold freezer yields the best results. Keeping the bowl level and at the back of the freezer works best. You want the solution enclosed in the bowl to freeze evenly. So if it is tilted when you freeze it the results may reflect that and not come out as expected.Some people expect the paddle to turn and the bowl to remain stationary. That's not how it works. The bowl turns and the paddle stays still, scraping the ingredients off the side of the bowl as it mixes them.I'm not sure how long to leave the machine running, but I have started it and watched TV for about a half hour and that seems to work.REMEMBER - If you don't want a broken machine, BE SURE THE BOWL IS TURNING BEFORE ADDING INGREDIENTS. AND DON'T FILL THE BOWL OR YOU'LL HAVE A BIG MESS.Experimentation will lead you to what you want.Like I said, it has its drawbacks, but for the price (especially in a Lightning Deal), cute colors, fun and results, it gets an easy five stars.Very happy with this purchase and glad I got one, even though I don't, or didn't, eat much ice cream.UPDATE 12/1/2012After several attempts and a few epic fails, I'm getting this thing down to a science. The trick is preparation, getting ready. preparing and cleaning up. A few more tips. Have your containers to hold the frozen results ready, and a space in the freezer to put them. Keep a plate ready to drop the paddles on when you are finished mixing. Use a spatula to scoop out the results. I use a bamboo squared end spatula. Don't try to pour the ice cream out or hold the bowl. I set the bowl on a pad and scoop everything out. And lastly, don't put a wet bowl back in the freezer. Wait till it is dry or frozen water can jam the machine.If I haven't mentioned it, don't fill the bowl up. Stuff expands as it freezes. I'm finding just over half full is best.And now is probably not the best time to start a diet...
