Question: Does this machine make ice cream/gelato that is more on the fluffy or dense side? Im interested but really wanting less air.
Document: My wife, who really likes her ice cream, says this is even better than the sore bought super premium ice creams. Candidly we don't eat as much at a time because it is so fulfilling. This ice cream maker makes a nice dense ice cream. It isn't full of as much air as the store ice creams. We make some other flavors also (mix in kahlua for a treat) but vanilla is just so easy and quick!This machine makes ~3 cups at a time.
The bowl is rather small, like how it's stated. Most recipes online need to be cut in half otherwise it will overflow. This is perfect for me and my small family, but it's a slight inconvenience to always be doing mental arithmetic when reading recipes.2. The ice cream it makes is more gelato-type than fluffy-fluffy store bought, but it does depend on the recipe. I've managed to make a very light vanilla ice cream using a recipe that was based on Cooks Illustrated's version.3.
In short, worth the money to make small (1.5 qt or less) batches of frozen Custard, Ice Cream, Sorbet, Gelato. Requires no forethought, just plug it in and add your chilled mix and go.I have made frozen custard, ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and sherbet in this and it all turned out spectacularly! Not sure what recipe the others who had poor results are using, but there may be some minor differences that kept theirs from turning out.
I've learned a little alcohol in some recipes makes a world of difference. The rum raisin gelato I've made twice was spectacular and every bit as luxurious as Haagen Dasz rum raisin ice cream -- but with less fat and no preservatives ... AND I MADE IT!With this machine, I no longer worry about whether the equipment is adequate; I focus on the recipes.
It would be nice if the bowl was stainless steel, not aluminum, too. I really like the spatula included - it fits exactly right between the side of the bowl and the beater, and makes getting the ice cream out easier.I really liked the recipes for banana ice cream, and another one for avocado and lemon, both are my favorite now.
I bought this ice cream maker while in the US on May 2012. It made wonderful ice cream and sorbets. I used mostly recipes in the included booklet, and they were very good. I'm an experienced cook, however, and I've had a Girmi canister-type gelato maker for years, so I can't say how easy it would be for a beginner to make ice cream on this machine. I've learned that ice cream slurries are fickle creatures; a lot of recipes won't set unless they are prepared properly.
I have not regretted my decision. This machine is super easy to use, and ready in an instant. I was worried that the capacity might be a little too low, but it's actually just right. There's really no need to make bigger batches at a time, unless you're planning to serve ice cream to a large group of people. Even then, you can make batch after batch without any wait time in between.
I also agree with the other reviewer, sometimes a small touch of alcohol in the Sorbet can have good effects, even in ice cream too - both of the recipe sources I mentioned will back this up too.Basically, make your custard, your gelato or your sorbet base, cool it down in the fridge (I even use the freezer sometimes to save time) and then pour it into the bowl.
I bought this unit to make restaurant-quality frozen margarita and it really works! Unlike the "Margaritaville" machine, which I also own one, this unit makes PURE frozen margarita without adding shaved ice. The result is great! However, due to its 1.5L capacity, don't expect this machine to make a lot of frozen margarita within a short period of time.I like the "Extended Cooling" feature which turns the compressor on and off every 10 min.
I must say, was very pleasantly surprised with this ice cream freezer. I have made homemade ice cream in a variety of freezers before. I loved this one because it created ice cream in less than 25 minutes. You don't have to pre-freeze anything to make ice cream. I have used hand cranks, and the ones where you freeze the bowls in your freezer.
Answer: If you run the maker until it stops the product will be fluffy but it has a timer so you can set it to stop earlier which will produce a more dense product...but you would need to place product in the freezer to firm up. I love this machine!
