Question: I have only a small freezer. What are the outside dimentions of the freezer container?
Document: We, my wife and I, have owned one for several years and found it to be just the thing for us to make the right amount of home made ice cream--the small left overs if any are easily stored in the freezer. We bought this one as a wedding gift.
We are hosting an ice cream social this summer for a club we're in and I wanted to have a way to make some fantastic ice cream. We have had several ice cream makers in the past, all requiring lots of ice and salt. When this little machine arrived, I immediately put the gel filled container in the freezer. The next day I made vanilla ice cream and it was finished in 25 minutes with NO salt or ice required.
To improve heat transfer during freezing, I use a silicone spatula to press the dasher blade against the freeze container to minimize that layer of frozen ice cream that forms on the surface. Also, break up any ice jams with your spatula around the container to keep everything circulating. It helps to add two tablespoons of unflavored vodka about a minute before you're done which makes it easier to keep it soft in the freezer. I store the ice cream in those stainless steel containers with a hinged lid made by Anchor-Hocking.
freeze the bowl, mix up the ice cream mixture, run the machine for about 20 min., scoop out the ice cream into a container to &#34;ripen&#34; and you have delicious home made ice cream. It's important to follow the directions completely. My husband makes ice cream every few days. We sold our old maker at a garage sale last week!
In order to make ice cream, the bucket needs to be fully frozen, which means it needs to stay in the freezer 8 hours or more. That's all well and good, but I need to keep it in the freezer at all times if I want to be able to make ice cream on a whim. For the price, though, it delivers on its function. I'm generally pleased with it.
This thing works great, but you HAVE to have a very cold freezer. I had to turn my LG's temperature down to -4 to keep the bowl cold enough to freeze the ice cream. There are tons of awesome recipes out there for ice cream, including recipes with coconut milk, and other alternative ingredients, that will take away all your excuses for making ice cream in the middle of winter. Woohoo!
I've used the ice cream maker now twice to make peach ice cream. Many of the negative reviews I read before purchasing the ice cream maker centered on the ice cream not hardening. Before I started my first batch I placed the bowl into the freezer the night before. After an hour in the ice cream maker the first batch of ice cream was pretty thick.
I put the bowl in the freezer a few hours before making the ice cream. Although the bowl seemed frozen (the liquid in the bowl didn&#8217;t slosh around when shaken) this batch didn&#8217;t harden. After a couple hours in the freezer the second batch was fine.After now making two batches of ice cream I think this maker works well as long as the bowl is completely frozen before starting.
We love our new Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. It's been fun experimenting with flavors, using fresh ingredients with low sugar fora healthier version. It produces soft serve in about 25 minutes and we purchased quart containers for freezer storage. I promptly wash the freezer bowl and pop it back in the freezer so it's ready when we get the urge to make more. The only complaint I haveis that it is rather noisy but I assume most ice cream machines are.
Make small adjustments to your heat on the stove to maintain that temperature. A cup or two of water will evaporate; the wide 9 inch diameter pan facilitates evaporation. The evaporation changes the proteins in the mix promoting smoothness and avoiding higher temperatures prevents scrambled eggs. Then strain and cool your base in a bowl set in an ice bath till 50F and refrigerate the base overnight to let it age. Put add-ons like nuts, chips, or fruit into the machine about 5 minutes before the ice cream has finished.
Answer: The dimensions across the top of the inner container are 7.5 inches with a 1 inch wide 'border' on the inside of the inner container. It is 6.25 inches in height. I also have a small freezer. However, I line my container with wax paper and throw in bags of frozen veggies for space saving.
