blacksheep's Full Review: Sony SIXAXIS PS398040 controller for PlayStation 3
I purchased the Cuisinart machine this summer after noticing how much money my family actually spends on ice cream and frozen yogurt. Pints often cost $4, so you can be assured this ice cream maker will pay for itself quickly.
I used to have a hand-cranking ice cream maker. The cranking wasn't really that difficult, but making ice cream meant having to schedule the day so that I could crank it every hour or so. With the Cuisinart, you can make your mixture beforehand (or when you want it), then simply throw it in the machine and come back for it in 20 minutes.
In the summer, I really get the urge for frozen desserts that are not very heavy. This machine is perfect for that purpose - those are the easiest to make. I've made a simple frozen pudding by mixing instant pudding powder and milk, then just throwing it in the machine! Another great recipe is the one for frozen chocolate yogurt in the booklet - it's a favorite in my family. You just need milk, yogurt, chocolate chips, and sugar - no heating required, just a blender or food processor. The yogurt gives the finished product a wonderful flavor.
TIPS FOR USE - Keep the bowl frozen when you're not using it. If you'd like, you can wrap it in saran wrap to avoid freezer burn. Mix in chunks (my favorite = pieces of brownies) by hand after the ice cream is finished. Right out of the machine, the product tends to be on the soft side, but you can put it in the freezer for a bit to harden. And when you're cleaning the bowl, be careful that you don't use paper towels, as they might freeze onto the cold metal (not a big deal, just a bit messy).
BUYING TIP - I purchased mine from Bed Bath and Beyond for $50, but I had a coupon for 20% off. If you get on the mailing list for this store or for Linens and Things, you might be able to get yours for less too!
