Best ice cream maker on the planet,
By
This review is from: Midas Non-Motorized Ice Cream Maker, Stainless Steel
When I first got my Midas, it was not available in the U.S. except by paying a ton for overseas shipping (which I did). I'd turned up some older rave reviews of it in Google, but nobody in the U.S. carried it. I finally found the inventor's listing on eBay and paid the $58.00 to have it shipped to the U.S.I was so impressed with this ice cream maker, I wanted all my friends to be able to get it for less than I'd had to pay so I offered to carry some for the inventor in the U.S. I'm dkistner1111, listed as a seller on Amazon. The main thing I do with my Midas is make the best peach kefir ice cream in the world. Anything you can make as a smoothie you can freeze to be an ice cream or sorbet. I blend peaches and homemade kefir -- find out how at Dom's Kefir In-site -- with about five tablespoons of xylitol (glycemic index of 2 as opposed to sugar's 100) and it makes the most delicious/refreshing ice cream that only tastes sinful. I keep my Midas in the freezer all the time. It's a real kitchen essential. I use it for keeping champagne chilled, instead of ice in a sinkful of water when I'm blanching vegetables prior to canning, and also for cooling soups meant to be served cold. I've even grabbed the just-washed base and used it a time or two as a mixing bowl to whisk eggs and such. Given the Midas is made of stainless steel, I don't have to worry about poking holes into it with metal utensils and then having to buy a new/expensive canister like I've had to do with competing ice cream makers. I just love my Midas. You'll love yours, too!

I LOVE this environmentally-conscious and blessedly QUIET ice cream maker!,

This review is from: Midas Non-Motorized Ice Cream Maker, Stainless Steel
I think the Midas Ice Cream Maker is just incredible! What an elegant, simple solution for those of us who have major ice cream habits, but no tolerance for the loud, clunky electric versions that require careful handling to keep from puncturing their gel-filled tubs. I used an expensive electric ice cream maker I was given as a gift only once and shelved it because it was too much of a hassle to use and clean, not to mention that the noise drove me up the wall.With the Midas, I can make two batches of ice cream before refreezing the tub, and since it's stainless steel, I can just stick it in the dishwasher. Moreover, there's nothing to assemble. All you have to do is pour in your mix and put the lid on. I've just purchased a second one so I'll always have a spare in the freezer - like at 3:00 a.m. when I'm craving a big bowl of peach ice cream. Who ever came up with this design is to be commended for a beautiful, useful product that I will use regularly from now on. I can recommend this product without hesitation. I can't wait to try all the different recipes. Hmmmmm, I wonder if you can make ice cream out of marguerita mix? Donna Overall Marietta, GA

A great gift for just about anyone,

This review is from: Midas Non-Motorized Ice Cream Maker, Stainless Steel
I like the way this ice cream maker works. It combines the convenience of the newer electric-style ice cream makers with the quietness and reliability of the old crank/salt-required styles. You don't "crank" this ice cream maker; nor do you plug it in and have to listen to it grind for half an hour. It's a base and a lid that you keep in the freezer until you want to use it, and then you just dump in the ingredients, wait a bit, stir briefly, then let it sit just a bit more and it's done.If you eat it all at one sitting, you can put the whole thing right into the dishwasher. If not, you just stick it back in the freezer for later. I had ice cream made in one of those electric ice cream makers once and the gel had leaked into the ice cream, giving it a sickening taste. You don't have to worry about that with this ice cream maker. One of the nicest things about it, though, is that it makes such a nice gift for just about anyone. I really don't like having to think too much or waste too much time (or gas) coming up with "the perfect gift." This Midas ice cream maker is well-made, cleanly styled, kind of classy, and I don't think you could break it if you tried. It looks more expensive than it is, too, so it makes a good impression as a gift.
