Amazon.com Review
When the whole neighborhood brings the kids to your house, this extra freezer bowl provides needed flexibility by letting you make an additional batch of your favorite ice cream, frozen yogurt, or sorbet. Little assembly is required to use this extra bowl, as it's made to fit on the Cuisinart ice-cream maker. The bowl does not come with a lid for storage of your sweet creations, and so should be kept away from any heat source, and it's not dishwasher-safe. --Teresa Simanton

So many more uses!
While I do have the ice cream maker, I ordered an additional freezer bowl to have on hand. It is helpful if you want to make two flavors of ice cream, or if you want to cool the warm custard for vanilla ice cream before you freeze it.

I have also used this container to quickly cool items (like Jello which must be cooled for a mousse, raspberry mousse comes to mind :) in a metal bowl. Place any metal bowl on the top of this container. It will be stable and the bowl will get ice cold. The contents will then cool very quickly.

Try this bowl to cool down custard when you are filling pastries. Just pour in the custard and stir with a spatula for a few minutes. Soon, you have creamy, cold custard to fill those pastries.

I recommend keeping one of these in the freezer at all times. There are just so many more uses! Use it everytime you need to cool a liquid quickly. You will love the results.

Great buy if you are going to make a lot of ice cream!
Cuisinart makes it easy for ice cream lovers by selling extra freezer bowls! Having an extra freezer bowl is extremely useful if you are making large quantities of ice cream or you plan on making different varieties. According to the instruction booklet it can take between six to twenty-two hours to freeze the bowl. We usually keep one bowl in the freezer all the time, then when making a batch of ice cream we replace it with the extra bowl. The freezer bowl doesn't take up much space and it's easy to clean! Fantastic Buy!

Does the job when frozen properly
When frozen overnight, this bowl makes ice cream in about 30 minutes, and does it well. Then it cleans up very easily, and can go right back in the freezer for another round.

My main complaint with it is the faulty instructions. It does *not* take 6-22 hours to freeze properly, or until you shake it and can't hear liquid. I can't imagine any home freezer could get the bowl cold enough to make a batch of ice cream in less than 12 hours, if not more than that. I was very disappointed with my first attempt at ice cream making because of this instructional flaw.

However, now that I know how to properly use the bowl, I have had nothing but great ice cream to show for it! I've never broken one of my bowls, so I haven't had the cracking or leaking problems others have had (yet).
