make sure the bowl is completely frozen .. one good way to check is to shake it around and if you hear liquid sloshing, even the tiniest bit, it is not frozen enough.

This is much faster way to harden ice cream than putting it in a normal electric freezer because the 0 degree brine is in direct contact with the sides of the ice cream cylinder and conducts heat away much more quickly than the 0 degree air in a freezer

After letting it freeze all the way, I tried the recipie for the Vanilla Ice Cream that is in the manual.

The methods remain similar, and if you have frozen the bowl you're more than half way there

I used a gift card and it was the perfect way to spend it.

The kids enjoyed it this way.

That way, you can clean the bowl and return it to the freezer to be ready for another batch

I'm very satisfied with this item, the way it was packaged and the quick shipping time

A custard base is an excellent way to start

When I buy another one, and I will - because even though it died, it is a very easy way to make ice cream -- when I buy another one, I will look for one that has a few different features.

what better way to have fresh ice cream than to make it ourselves and the Cuisinart Ice-cream maker does it all

The ice cream maker is still my favorite way to mate dessert even after a year.

This is THE BEST fool proof way of making ice cream.

I'd like a better way to fill the freezer container.

The way it works is you freeze the bowl before making the ice cream, sorbet, etc.

A friend of mine apparently found the ideal way to cook a custard with such an ice cream maker.

I love making desserts and ice cream is easier than baking, and a great way to avoid heating up your kitchen during the summer when you want a homemade dessert.

I knew there had to be a better way to make ice cream.

Works exactly as it is supposed to

The bowl really has to be completely frozen, as eager as you may be, it just won't work if you do it to early AND it'll waste your ingredients.

The second would be the fact that it does not freeze the ice cream as hard as I would like.

The worst thing that can happen occurs to those of us who are just a tad too impatient: the ice cream does not freeze up quite as firmly as you might have liked because you haven't let the freezer bowl stay in the freezer long enough (24 hours should do it).

In any other case, the cuisinart automatic ice cream maker is functional and easy to use, as well as it is easy to clean up

I will recommend this product to others, and will also be ordering a second mixing bowl, as we eat the dessert as fast as I can make it!
