5.0 out of 5 stars ICE CREAM IN 18 MINUTES!, June 28, 2007

By	Pete Simon "peterrabbit" (Pekin, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just received this ice cream maker yesterday and made a batch of french vanilla ice cream. I ordered Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Dessert book at the same time I ordered the ice cream maker and they both came the same day. I used the French vanilla recipe from their book. The recipe is only for one quart so I quadrupled it. I used a lot more salt than the directions with the ice cream maker calls for to get the temperature down and also used a little table salt along with shaved ice. Use enough salt with the ice and you should have no trouble getting the temperature down. The ice cream was done when the motor stopped as per the directions. It only took 18 munutes from start to finish. The brine didn't even run out the drain hole in the can before the ice cream was done. The ice cream was pretty stiff consistency right away. We ate some for a taste test and put the whole can in the deep freeze for about an hour and the stuff set up very well. The ice cream was smooth and not gritty like it can be if it takes a long time to get done. After reading some of the reviews before buying this maker, I had some reservations about buying this particular model. I see now that they were unfounded. I had no problems with it at all. I would recommend this maker to anyone looking for a reasonably priced ice cream maker. Just be sure you use plenty of salt with the ice and be sure your ingredients are good and chilled when you put them together. By the way the recipe I used is excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tips for using this ice cream maker, July 2, 2007

By	Shawn - See all my reviews

The purpose of using the salt with this ice cream maker is to melt the ice as fast as you can. You will know that you are using enough ice when the condensation on the outside of the ice cream maker freezes. When the ice melts it gets real cold and freezes the ice cream. If the ice cream maker does not stop after an hour, then you are not using enough salt. Rock salt definitely works much better than table salt. Rock salt is also much cheaper. After each layer of ice add rock salt. Also don't be afraid if the motor sounds like it is dying. The ice cream freezes and gets thicker and slows down the motor until it stops. When the ice cream is done it will stop. Note that it is not on a timer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ice Cream like a pro., June 11, 2007

By	Wilbur Lidzy "GuateStudio" (Guatemala Central America) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great purchase. I threw away the time waster wooden maker that I have used for years. This makes more Ice Cream with less Ice as it has a formed bucket that gives more contact and prevents ice spin. Get the book Ben and Jerry's to have the choice of recipes. When I get this piece of modern engineering out of the box, everyone gathers around to watch. This didn't happen when I brought out the old crank model.
