I did this and the bowl still seemed to be still frozen solid after the 20 minutes it took to churn

You must refrigerate your mixture before you put it in the ice cream maker, you must freeze the mixing bowl overnight or it will produce a soup, and you better add the ingredients with the machine already running or you'll overwhelm the motor

The bowl has to be frozen for at least 24 hours

Freeze the bowl (churning vessel) immediately when you get this machine, and after each use, cause it needs to freeze (empty) for at least 24 hours.

After you make your ice cream, you have to detach the mixer, have a bowl ready for the stuff that gets caught on the top and the mixer to stop dripping and the hole to pour the mixture is just very difficult to clean.

We froze the bowl 36 hours in advance, prechilled the mixture, and read the instructions

Taken from the freezer and filled, the bowl super chills the ingredients

This one however is super easy when you remember to freeze the bowl

If you purchase, I would suggest testing the motor before you freeze the inner bowl and prep your ingredients - both have to be done 20+ hours ahead of time.

- The bowl, which is double walled, is super frozen, and you will just have extra frozen ice cream

Just freeze the inside bowl for 24 hours and you are ready to make 1.5qt of ice cream, sorbet, or any other frozen treat!

After you make your ice cream, you have to detach the mixer, have a bowl ready for the stuff that gets caught on the top and the mixer to stop dripping and the hole to pour the mixture is just very difficult to clean.

After all the prep work which was freezing the bowl, making the mixture and chilling the mixture it took about 25 minutes of churning to get the end product

My bowl was frozen for over 24 hours, all of the ingredients were cold and full-fat, and after 45 minutes, the ice cream was watery

You need to freeze the includes bucket bowl for 24 hours and the mixture of sugar, heavy cream, whole milk, etc needs to be refrigerated for a day

We removed the motor and paddle and placed the bowl back in the freezer while the motor cooled
