Product Features
â This Cuisinart ice cream maker is a fully-automatic appliance that prepares up to two quarts of frozen yogurt, sorbet, and ice cream.
â Brushed stainless steel design.
â Instruction and recipe booklet with 28 recipes is included.
â Assembled product dimensions are 8.25â wide x 8.00â deep x 11.25â tall.
â Double-insulated freezer bowl holds two quarts and measures 7.5â wide by 6.5â tall.
â The Cuisinart ICE-30BC is equipped with a large opening for adding ingredients like chocolate chips, cherries, and nuts without splattering.
â The freezer bowl absolutely must be frozen prior to use. It works ideally when placed in the freezer overnight (i.e., 12 hours or more) with the freezer set to 0.
â For the best results, all ingredients should be refrigerated thoroughly before adding them to the freezer bowl. Combining the ingredients and putting them in the refrigerator for a few hours boosts overall flavor and at the same time, makes a denser ice cream.
â Ice cream will be slightly harder than soft serve ice cream after 25 minutes of processing in this appliance. For denser ice cream, seal the ice cream in a thick plastic air-tight container and freeze it for two to four hours after it finishes processing.
â Prior to serving or freezing ice cream that has pieces added to it, give it one or two stirs to ensure that the ingredients are spread evenly throughout every serving.
â This Cuisinart ice cream maker is a loud machine.
â This homemade ice cream maker is covered by the manufacturerâs three-year limited warranty.

The components to this Cuisinart ice cream maker are NOT dishwasher safe. Clean the freezer bowl, mixing arm, and cover with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive pads or cleaners. Wipe the base of the appliance with a damp cloth and then dry all components thoroughly. Be sure the freezer bowl is completely dry before placing it in the freezer. Do not put any component other than the freezer bowl in the freezer.

Review Pros: fully automatic machine - no hand-churning needed, substantial capacity holds up to two quarts of ice cream, processes in less than 30 minutes, makes delightful desserts that compete with store-bought varieties, affordably priced, three-year warranty

Review Cons: freezer bowl must be frozen overnight before using machine, ice cream must be frozen after blending to attain hard density, machine is not quiet
