Amazon.com Review
Chilly and rich desserts of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet seem all the more special when they are made in a home kitchen. While this Cuisinart frozen dessert maker is designed to look like the old-fashioned models that require plenty of rock salt and ice and need to be hand cranked, it is actually completely automatic for ease of use and less waiting. The ice cream maker's base is shaped like a bucket, complete with a carrying handle. The freezer bowl and mixing arm fit within the base and are both removable for cleaning. The transparent locking lid lets cooks watch the maker in action and has an open spout for loading milk, eggs, sugar, and other fresh ingredients right into the freezer bowl without spilling them all over the counter.
With a flip of the power switch, the arm starts mixing and properly aerating the ingredients for perfect results every time. Little extras, such as nuts, chocolate chips, or chunks of fruit can be added during the mixing cycle. The heavy-duty motor blazes along to produce 1-1/2 quarts of a favorite frozen dessert in just 20 minutes. However, there is no need to dip into the dessert right away: the bowl can go into the freezer for a while and its double insulation keeps ice cream or sorbet smooth and creamy until serving time. The ICE-25 comes with a book of instructions and recipes (including old standbys, such as Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, and mouth-watering specialties, such as Dark Chocolate Cherry Sorbet) and is covered by Cuisinart under a three-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

| 39 of 39 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: Cuisinart ICE-25 Classic Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker, White (Kitchen) This design was given to me as a gift, replacing a Krups La Glaciere that had worked well for a few years before the coolant began leaking into the freezing chamber. In terms of freezing and mixing ability - the only real differences between ice cream makers at this low-end level - the Cuisinart works very well. In fact, it seems to hold its temperature longer than the Krups model, perhaps due to the extra bit of insulation afforded by "freezing chamber in bucket" design. Also, for those familiar with the Krups, the Cuisinart actually rotates the bucket rather than the dasher; odd at first, but it works fine, and allows for faster assembling of the component parts when you're starting the freezing process. The only (minor) complaint I have is that, if you are making a sizable batch, the ice cream frequently starts to pour over the top of the dasher as it expands, even if you follow the instructions for how high the freezing chamber should be filled. It doesn't spill out of the...

Depending on the recipe you use, you only have to mix the ingredients, pour it in the freezing chamber and turn it on. That's it. It also cleans up very easily. I've read the reviews of those who have not had such good luck. I think either their particular unit was defective, the freezing chamber was not cold enough or they used a cooked recipe and the mix had not cooled sufficiently. The freezing chamber contains a sealed reservoir of liquid which, when sufficiently frozen, eliminates the need for the ice and salt used in typical ice cream makers. The liquid must be frozen solid for the unit to work as advertised. Also, some recipes require the mix to be cooked on the stovetop, then chilled for at least 8 hours. If a cooked mix isn't cooled sufficiently, it won't make good ice cream either. I've used cooked and mix-and-pour recipes with equal results. I didn't give it 5 stars...

I have left the container in the fridge, since the day I got it. Anytime the hankering hits, I can have a frozen dessert in 30 minutes. I have made ice cream, fruit ices and gellato. I have had good luck making sugar free and fat free desserts as well, by adding a little alchohol to slow down the freezing and formation of ice crystals. It is a cute, cheap, little ice cream maker that delivers well for the investment. |
