    Cuisinart ICE-100 Compressor Ice Cream and Gelato Maker, Silver, 1-1/2-Quart

    • Hope this machine lasts a long time, because I love it and don't want to go back to the old style electric freezer or one that requires freezing the canister prior to making ice cream.
    • His tip about pre cooling the "canister" and his max
    • No need to pre-freeze the canister
    • Canister with a handle is nice too.
    • The one that required you freeze the canister at least 36 hours prior to each use.
    • The only negatives, which did not keep me from giving it 5 stars, are- the timer defaults to 60 minutes where 45 minutes is usually correct for most ice creams- while the removable canister is easy to clean, overflow (which will happen every so often if you make a bunch of ice cream) makes a mess and is not that easy to clean out of the cracks and crevicesAs other reviewers have mentioned, wiping the canister dry with a cloth between batches is important
    • I purchased another ice cream maker that you freeze the canister in your freezer.
    • If you're like me and have limited freezer space, this machine is a great improvement over the type that requires you to freeze a canister for 24 hours before using
    • If you want to make lots of ice cream and/or you're prone to forgetting to freeze a canister on manual models, this is for you.
    • Can't do that with the traditional ice cream machines that require freezing the canisters.
    • I used to use one of the frozen canister models to make ice cream
    • I freeze the canister with the paddle and ingredients in it for at least 30 minutes to an hour before making the ice cream.
    • Doesn't freeze as hard as I would like, however placing mix after freezing in freezer for about 1 hour gave it good body
    • Perfect for the lazy af people who still want to show prowess in the kitchen.- super easy to use- super easy to CLEAN- makes ice cream smooth as
    • This item freezes as it stirs.
    • Also the ICE-100 doesn't freeze as to the soft serve stage so you have to let the ice cream harden in the freezer for at least a couple hours
    • Advantage of the ICE-100 is you can use it continuously over and over to freeze as much as you want, whereas the pre-freezable unit is a one-time use then need to refreeze for ~24 hours
    • My husband bought this, and at first I grumbled
    • n’t take a chance on this device, it wont work and Cuisinart wont back up their device.
