Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart ICE-45PK Mix It In Soft Serve 1-1/2-Quart Ice Cream Maker, Pink

Customer Review: Great with a little practice
Summary: 5 Stars

I was a little skeptical about buying this but when I found a 30% off coupon, I figured I'd go ahead and splurge.

The Good: Love the color. You can get really creative with what you make in it - you can adjust the amount of sugar, use organic ingredients, and make whatever wild concoctions you can dream up. It's easy to set up and clean and you can dismantle it and store it in the box if counterspace is limited. The final product really is ready in 20-30 minutes and kids will enjoy watching the ice cream freeze right before their eyes. This is great to pull out at a party - be sure to purchase a couple of spare bowls to freeze since it doesn't hold that much.

The Not So Good: The first time I used this I let it go for too long and it wouldn't dispense in a stream - more like large ice cream drops. Then when it dispensed into the bowl it practically melted on contact with the bowl. The mixing blade holds onto a lot of ice cream when you lift the lid. You don't have too much time to clear it off before it starts dripping/melting everywhere. If the bowl is super cold, the ice cream sticks to the sides of the bowl and it can be difficult to get it all out - you'll need a stiff spoon but not a metal spoon. I can't find spare freezer bowls in pink - I had to buy a couple of white ones so I could use this during parties. They are pretty large so you need a fair amount of space in the freezer.

Recommendations: Be patient and don't expect the first couple of runs to be perfect. It takes practice to get the hang of how long you need to run it and it will vary based on what you make in it. Make sure your ingredients are very cold before putting them into the frozen bowl - the liquid that hits the bowl first will freeze on contact. I actually mix my ingredients and put them into the freezer for about a half hour, take it out of the freezer, mix well and then add them into the ice cream machine. I also dispense into chilled bowls instead of room temperature bowls.

Overall: This is a good product. There is a learning curve with this but once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. It's super quick and if you have several extra bowls you can make a bunch of different frozen treats at a time. I love the fact that I know what's going into my ice cream and there's no chemicals or strange ingredients like guar gum and carrageenan. I really like this and use it at least a few times a month.
