We waited for warmer weather before making our first desert (tart lemon sorbet — delicious).  Very easy to learn and to use, only downside is that the inside tub was larger than I had anticipated, so I had to move around my freezer contents a little more than I had planned when I put it inside.

This will have a learning curve  which recipes will work best (there are so many things I want to try) how long will things need to chill afterward to reach the desired firmness (they may well be devoured before that) how to modify non-Cuisinart recipes to fit the volume requirements, etc.  But the upside is that the machine is so easy that I can just keep experimenting … over, and over, and over.
