I am so happy that I got this, and just in time for summer! It's incredibly easy to use. I left the bowl in the freezer for about 24 hours before I was ready to use it, and it was super simple to put on my KitchenAid. Started churning frozen custard just before dinner, and half an hour later it was ready to serve for dessert. If you have a silicone KitchenAid bowl scraper, I strongly recommend using it to get every little bit out of the bowl without damaging it, it worked great for me.
