5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of our favorite kitchen appliances July 8, 2000

By J. Hauer VINE™ VOICE

Back when we were making up our wedding registry, my then-fiance (now husband) really wanted an ice cream maker. The store we registered at had three options: the Krups, the Cuisinart and one that used salt. We chose the Krups based on its smaller size and touted ease of use.

The claims of ease were absolutely true! We keep the bowl of the machine in our freezer at all times so we're ready to mix up a batch of fresh, homemade ice cream with as short a wait as possible. The mixer is very strong and we've yet to mix up a batch too thick for it. It's also a breeze to clean up. You wouldn't believe the raves we've received on the varieties of ice cream we've made. What more could you ask for?

Another reviewer mentioned the scarcity of recipes that came with the machine. To be honest, we've never tried any of them. The most requested batch we've made came from "Williams-Sonoma's Ice Creams and Sorbets" book - it's the recipe for Cantaloupe Sorbet with Minted Melon. We've also found Ben & Jerry's book to be a winner as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good professional applications May 2, 2000

By Cynthia Ware

I am a pastry chef, and bought myself a La Glaciere when I finished culinary school, where I had fallen in love with ice creams and sorbets. One of our chef-instructors suggested the Krups machine as a good alternative to the large, and very expensive, ice cream maker we had there. She was absolutely correct. I use it all the time both at home and in the restaurant where I work. I've even run two batches through it back-to-back. If you're going to make a lot, though, I would suggest getting a second canister.

4.0 out of 5 stars SOLVED: Problem with gel leaking from seal!! May 12, 2005

By K. McCarthy

I've seen many on here with the leaky bowls. I actually got a replacement from Krups...WITH THE SAME LEAK! Disappointing, but this machine makes amazing ice cream and sorbet. Love it!

Here's how to fix the bowl. I found that by taking hold of the top collar of the bowl, holding the bottom part stable under my arm, and twisting CLOCKWISE, I was able to get the collar free and off. This revealed the gasket which lays on the collar of the inner bowl (about 3/4" wide). The inner metal bowl sets into the outer plastic bowl which has this freezing gel stuff in it. Anyhow, once I had it apart, I set the bowl on the counter so as not to spill anything (it's not really exposed, but the metal bowl could come out at this point if you tipped it hard). You can see that the bowl and collar are "threaded" sort of...they have 6 sections that are ridged..sort of like the inside of a 2 litre soda cap..not continuous threads. There are lots of narrow gaps on the inside of both the collar and large outer plastic bowl. I noticed that this gel had gotten into them, so I ran the collar under hot water and used a chopstick to get any remaining gel stuff out of the slots (freezing will expand this stuff and likely causes the gasket to unseat in the first place). I wiped everything clean, relaid the gasket over the top of the metal bowl, lined up the spaces and thread sections so I could reassemble them, and pushed it down onto the outer plastic bowl, turning COUNTER CLOCKWISE as it all seated together. Voila! The "threads" caught. I now gripped the bowl under my arm again, and twisted the collar COUNTER CLOCKWISE until it would twist no more. It was tight. I checked the seal, looked good. I froze for 24 hours (rock solid), removed it, and just ran about a quart of water into the bowl and let it sit there. Upon fully thawing, I dumped the water, wiped it completely dry, and shook it around, upside down, etc, for a few minutes. I let it sit again for 24 hours, checked it, and there is ZERO GEL LEAKING!! That is how you fix the bowl. I bet even those with the warped bowls can do this, removing all the leaked gel from the spaces inside, and get it working fine again.

Anyhow, hope this helps!!
