Customer Reviews
Cuisinart ICE-20, automatic ice cream maker
Growing up it took a couple hours of cranking to get the home made flavor that I can now get in a matter of minutes. This is the best and easiest "dessert type" appliance I have ever owned. For a change, a product actually works as well as the manufacturer says it will. Once the freezer bowl is frozen, we use it, rinse it out and keep it in the freezer where it is always ready to use. All you have to do is pour a few ingredients in through the spout, turn it on and wait, usually about 20 to 25 minutes for 1 and 1/2 quarts of homemade ice cream. The ingredients are things that you may normally have on hand, like half and half, sugar, milk. There are no speacial ice cream mixes to buy. We are having fun just experimenting with different ingredients to come up with our own flavors. It not only makes the best tasting ice creams, but also frozen yogurts, sorbets, sherbets and our all time favorite summer treat, slushies. Just about anything that you would drink can be turned into a slushie in about 15 minutes. Nothing better than a "beer slushie" after cutting grass on a hot summer day. We are completely enjoying our ice cream maker and have used it everyday since we received it. It is very easy to use, easy to clean, worth every penny that we paid for it. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.
Cuisinart ICE 20
I purchased the Cuisinart ICE-20 Automatic Ice cream maker because of a move to a much warmer climate and more remote area (grocery store is miles away) so what better way to have fresh ice cream than to make it ourselves and the Cuisinart Ice-cream maker does it all! My husband is the ice cream eater in the family and he usually licks the blades as they come out of the machine and that is before we have frozen the mixture for 6 hours. The machine is a dream to use, the recipes very easy and I wish I would have bought the extra freezer container so I could have one in the freezer and one in the wash. Love it!
Better (and quieter) than expected!
Ok, I am one who will pour through hundreds of reviews before making a purchase. I had a $50 giftcard (for Macy's) and have a strict policy to only use them for something I wouldn't otherwise buy.
I have wanted an ice cream maker for years. I would look at them, think about them, and ultimately put them back on the shelves as I thought it was unnecessary in the scheme of life for another small appliance in my too-small kitchen.
Well, expiry was upon me with the giftcard (yes, almost 2 years) and I now live in a VERY rural area, where a trip for a container of ice cream is a 40 mile round trip. Did I mention I ADORE ice cream??
I finally bought this machine. My husband thought I was crazy and that I'd never use it. Made the first batch of chocolate ice cream yesterday and let me tell you it was fantastic!
This will not go unused, my husband won't allow it. We both felt it was as good or better than store purchased ice cream without the chemicals they use to keep it nice for long periods of time in the freezer. Buy your milk and cream in large containers kids, you are going to a)save a little $ and b) make a motherload of HEALTHIER ice cream. I used half and half instead of heavy cream and it was still delightful.
I am on Amazon today to buy an extra freezer container. I do think that is a bit pricey and am considering the whole reconditioned unit so that I can make two batches simultaneously. It's that good.
It DOES come out soupy when initially made. It's yummy that way-I dare you to not put a spoon in the top as it's whirring around, especially the first batch. Put it in another plastic container for a couple of hours if you prefer a harder consistency.
Oh, as for the noise-come on people, it's NOT that loud!
My standing fan makes more noise than this thing, and I'd rather hear IT whirring knowing the sweet treat awaits me! Honestly, maybe these folks got a faulty unit, or are particularly sensitive to noise- I don't think it's noisy at all :)
Only one small note to mention. When it's done try to get it out of the canister quickly because it freezes very quickly to a very hard consistency to the sides, and it takes a bit of scraping with a wooden spoon to get it off (but I had a heck of a taste test while I completed this arduous task) ! HAHA.
Buy it and enjoy, I think folks with kids would have a lot of fun with this machine letting kids come up with their own funky flavors. I know I will.
