Review: Cuisinart 1-1/2-Quart Automatic Ice Cream Makers

You probably do not remember those obsolete ice-cream makers, the ones that you would have to keep filled up with ice and rock salt. Well, I do. It always made a delicious dessert that well worth the efforts, at least when it was my mom working on it.

I have missed that amazing home-made ice-cream treat for years, ever since that sort of ice-cream maker has become out of date. The good news is, today, we are able to bring it back within only twenty minutes.

The Cuisinart automatic ice-cream maker can create up to 1-1/2-quart within just twenty minutes. It is very easy to handle, no need to use any ice or rock salt, and you can select the consistency as you want. It has transparent top which is locked firmly into place, keeping everything secure and simple to monitor. Cleaning it up is a breeze with the nonstick chamber. There is a straightforward instruction booklet included in the package as well as luscious recipes. It measures 10 by 10 by 15 inches, an easy-to-store size. There is a 3-year limited warranty covered.

Here are some pros and cons for the Cuisinart automatic ice-cream maker:

Pros
•    Not only makes ice cream, but also a group of frozen yogurt, sorbet, frozen drinks, all in a very short time
•    Ice-cream tastes as great if not better than name brands
•    The chamber walls are pre-frozen in your freezer for around 7 hours
•    No need to stir, completely automatic
•    Add any ingredient you favor to the end of the cycle
•    More powerful motor than Krups and a better warranty

Cons
•    Need to keep the chamber frozen if you want to use it at last minute
•    Initial use, chamber needs to be stored in freezer for 2 days
•    Can be a little loud, don’t like to use it during meal times

So, next time when you want to have some amazing ice-cream, and think you can’t make one by yourself, take a look at the ingredients on the Breyers box, you will find out that it is no more than sugar, milk, cream, mint extract or real vanilla, not any surplus preservatives. As I said, you can also make a luscious ice-cream at home, and once you try, you will never want to go back for premium brands any more.
