Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart ICE-20R 1-1/2-Quart Automatic Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt & Sorbet Maker, Red
Customer Review: The funnest appliance in my kitchen!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this machine. After reading the directions a few times, I made my first batch of Double Chocolate (see my review for the Williams Sonoma ice cream book) and it was phenomenal. I can recall clearly that the weather was all stormy and brewing on a hot day and I was feeling excited but nervous that it wouldn't come out right. I mean, this was ICE CREAM and it must be pretty complicated! I soon discovered, though, how simple it was and I was jumping up and down in my kitchen watching this machine churn out this chocolaty creaminess inside, screaming to my husband, "It works!" (A bit of a Frankenstein "He's alive!" moment.)
It's very easy to use. Just make sure you freeze the bowl a good 24 - 48 hours beforehand. I put a couple of plastic bags around it before putting it in the freezer (so ice won't form on it) and then, right before using, I give it a good shake to make sure that there's no liquid sloshing inside. Also, only take it out of the freezer the second you're ready to use it -- Don't place it on your counter and then fiddle around with other jobs, getting everything ready, because it might not retain its cold temperature and will thus result in soupy cream. Take it out only when everything else is ready to go.
I just used old yogurt containers to place the churned ice cream in afterwards and let it sit for several hours in the freezer before consuming. (A long wait, but worth it!) But I encourage you to lick the paddle, 'cause it's oh-so-yummy and will make you feel like a kid again.
Also, don't wash the insert in hot water after you make the ice cream, as that kills its ability to freeze in the future. I just let it sit on my counter until all the liquid inside has thawed (several hours) then I wash it with very lukewarm water and soap, dry it thoroughly, bag it up, and throw it in the freezer so that it's ready for the next time I want to make a new batch.
If it sounds complicated, it's not. You just need to plan ahead, but the effort itself is pretty minimal.
Incidentally, this got a good review in America's Test Kitchen. They claimed there was a better model out there, but it was exorbitantly expensive and this was just a fraction of the cost.
Try it and you'll be delighted at the results! Once you get the hang of different recipes, you can start to create your own flavors!

After the machine's chilling chamber has been in the freezer for about eight hours the liquid between its walls is thoroughly frozen. The chamber then goes atop the power base, the unit's paddle goes into the chamber, the transparent top is locked in place, and the machine is turned on. Ingredients go into the chamber through an opening in the top as the paddle turns. The chamber chills the ingredients to whatever consistency is desired--though dense treats are hard to make because the paddle churns in air.
Chocolate chips, chopped fruit, nuts, and other special ingredients can be added toward the end. The chamber is nonstick for easy cleanup. Storing it in the freezer ensures a frozen confection is only 20 to 40 minutes away when the mood strikes. The machine measures 10 inches in diameter and 15 inches high and weighs 9-1/2 pounds. It carries a three-year warranty against defects. A detailed instruction booklet including many recipes is included.--Fred Brack
