The first time I did it, I tried pouring it into the bowl and then putting in the paddle, but the mixture had already started freezing to the sides of the bowl and it was hard to get the paddle inserted

Additionally, any mixture you want to use must be pre-chilled for 20 hours.

I noticed that when I tried t fix my mistake- after scraping everything out and rinsing the freezer bowl with hot water.. I dumped the mixture through lid port and the paddle started grinding- making the loud noise like some mentioned

When I scraped it into a bowl, the mixture on the bottom and sides were so frozen that I had to let it sit out for a bit (about 15min) before I could clean it

It didn’t freeze my ice cream mixture

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

n’t think I’ll bother with this again
