Can't agree with threemoons' review enough. After freezing the bowl for two days, then letting the mixer run until it stopped itself to keep from overheating (approx 1 hour), I didn't have ice cream. Put the whole thing in the freezer again with the ice cream mixture in it. Two hours later, some thickening. Started the mixer again... another hour and forty-five minutes... still no ice cream. Froze results overnight, and then had decent ice cream. Next, I will get the large wooden bucket with electric motor, just like my grandmother had during my childhood. I know it works.
