I purchased this product as I was interested in making ice cream at home!  Thus far I have made strawberry and peanut butter Ice cream and both were great.  I keep the freezer bowl in the freezer at all times as suggested.  I am going to try making Sorbet next!  I recently purchased this product and I must say I am very happy.  Looking forward to trying different recipes as I am learning the basics!   Also, the price was great!!!
