Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rival GC8155-W 1.5-Quart Gourmet Creamery

Customer Review: Excellent choice for those who used to pour salt and ice !!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've used this machine for over a year since I bought it from another online retailer. And I can tell you that it has stayed as smooth as in the beginning. I use it 3 times a week for making coconut and lemon sherbets. The taste and texture achieved remind me of a very old ice cream parlor located in my home country, Dominican Republic,called 'Imperiales'. Although it delighted many generations, it closed like 8 years ago. So, as you can see, it's kind of a nostalgic remembrance for me !

Rival 1.5 Gel Canister Ice Cream Maker

Making ice cream at home is such a pleasurable food experience, and the Gourmet Creamery makes the creating of that ice cream simple and quick. First, the gel canister goes into the freezer for at least 8 hours (but preferably overnight). Then assemble the Creamery, pour in a chilled recipe's worth of ice cream or sorbet mix, and in 30 to 45 minutes it's ready to serve. There's no salt or ice to fuss with, and you don't have to monitor the process by stirring or hand-cranking; it's all automatic.

The Creamery can be set to high speed for a creamier, softer ice cream, or to low for a firmer scoop. (Once the Creamery is in motion on low speed, do not switch to high--the ice cream will have thickened too much and it will strain the motor. Switching from high to low in mid-process is fine, however.) The clear plastic cover locks in place to hold the paddle still while the canister itself rotates

Clean-up is very easy; warm soapy water will do the trick. The base is not immersible. The gel canister should not contact hot water until it is near room temperature, and let it dry completely before freezing it again. When fully assembled, the Gourmet Creamery is 9 inches wide (at the base) by 12 inches high; the pieces come apart for easier storage. Rival provides a limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal use conditions.--Garland Withers
