Review: Well worth the cost for a high quality machine. - I had always wanted an ice cream maker with a compressor as we make a lot of ice cream but only can do so through the hot summer months. Neither of us likes store bought ice cream and, too, it's gotten so expensive. Upon much research and also watching Ree Drummond (Pioneer Woman) use this model, I decided to gift myself with it. Best decision I could have made! I read the instructions twice just to make sure of what I was doing and mixed up my first batch of ice cream from the included booklet. My husband wanted fresh raspberry so this is the one I made first. It was delicious. The only thing I could have done any better was to really crush up the raspberries better. I only mashed them a little thinking they would break up on their own as raspberries are so fragile. They didn't break apart in the mixer enough but it was really good anyway. The bowl and paddle are very simple to get ready and the lid is easy to lock in. It even has a little door that can be opened to add nuts, etc. in the last five minutes of freezing. The really BIG rule is to not put in too much mix. If you do, as it freezes, it will go over the rim of the basket and then you will really have a mess. But the nice thing about the maker is that after a batch is done, wait 10 minutes and then you can make another batch. This you can do all day long if you choose. A recipe from the booklet makes just the right amount for the freezer. But in saying that, if you are a big ice cream eater or have very many people to serve then you will need to make more than one batch. As there are only two of us, this is the perfect amount to make as it last several days, depending how big a bowl my husband gets. I've made several ice creams, vanilla, chocolate (delicious) black walnut, butter pecan and several vanillas with the addition of items toward the end. One of my really favorite things to make are the sorbets. If the fruit is really ripe and sweet, much less sugar can be used in the recipe. Strawberry sorbet is my favorite. Unbelievably fresh tasting. And frozen fruit can be purchased all year around which are much better than the insipid fruits I'm able to purchase out of season. The machine freezes the contents pretty firmly and even has a 10 minute cycle at the end of the churning cycle to keep on chilling. The machine will shut off the churn cycle when it can go no further and then go to the chill cycle, beeping to tell you what is happening. Cuisinart has thought of everything in their design and produced a superior product here. A few hints: always have your mix well chilled before putting into the machine. I even set the mixing bowl in the freezer for twenty minutes before putting in the machine. Thoroughly chill the storage container to have it ready to put the finished ice cream. There's not much melting doing it this way. Have a small silicone spatula handy to scrape out the finished ice cream from the machine bowl. This gets all the ice cream out and the silicone is non scratch. You do not want to scratch the machine's bowl because it would damage the Teflon coating. And last but not least, just take an extra minute and hand wash the bowl, paddles and lid. So much gentler on everything. I found out that the Cuisinart does not churn in as much air as a White Mountain or similar out door maker does which makes the frozen product freeze harder. No problem though, just let it sit out of the freezer for a minute or two or microwave the container for 7 or 8 seconds to thaw it up a bit. Also, I noticed that several reviewers complained about how loud the machine is when churning. We haven't been bothered by it as it's quieter than our dishwasher...hmm...maybe I need a new dishwasher????? Well, now on to many trials and experiments with different recipes...can't wait.
Review: Going strong for 7 years! Still love it! Some tips for use and longevity - I bought this from desertcart in July 2016. Now 2023. I was curious if still manufactured etc, came to this listing and decided to write a review after all this time. So for those curious - I'm still thrilled with it and it works just as good now as it did on day 1. Once it's brought out - typically in June or early July - it is used minimum once a week. It goes back in the storage tub and into the basement in October. The machine is well used during those months. For instance, I have 4 different kinds of gelato/sorbet in our freezer right now. I made chocolate gelato for a party a few weeks ago and used it 4 times in one day to freeze the amount I prepared. This is a prosumer-grade, mass produced item. Some people will receive lemons. I didn't. Expect that there could be issues after purchase. Don't buy it until you'll use it frequently so you'll have the best chance find out if you have a lemon. Some recommendations: - Be aware of the needs of the compressor: leave plenty of room on the sides for the compressor to pull in air and push out the heat - like 4-5 inches at least on both sides. If the compressor fails from being too taxed, it's over. Treat it with care. I also find that if you have ceiling fans in the kitchen, run them keep air circulating and getting that warmer air away from the unit. - Don't put the unit in direct sunlight - you are working against the compressor and also will make freezing take longer for your ice cream and the results will suffer. - Prechill the empty freezing container and dasher IN THE UNIT for 15 minutes prior to pouring in your frozen treat. This will ensure that the compressor is running well and the container is about as cold as it will get. The faster your ice cream/gelato/sorbet freezes, the better the outcome. - Do not blame the ICE-100 for poor results if it is chilling and stirring properly. This is just a freezing machine - it is not a designer of recipes. Ice cream and other frozen treats are a lot of science. That said, if you prechill your ice cream base overnight, prechill the empty container and dasher in the unit and let it run for 15 minutes before pouring in your stuff, you'll get good results that taste good and you'll be happy to serve to others. We at home cannot freeze our recipes as quickly as the pros. To get pro-like results, you have to work at it because the temperatures achieved and the power of our equipment cannot match pro grade- we have to compensate in other ways. - Hand wash the aluminum freezing container immediately after use. Do NOT leave it soaking in water for long periods of time. Water can get caught in the bottom of the container between the plastic piece that holds the spindle for the dasher. Wash it with dish soap and scrub, rinse, and leave to dry. Once dry, hold the container up to bright light and look in the inside of the container. You'll see a triangle-like channel in the white plastic. That's where water can get in. If it does, you need to unscrew the bottom panel and let it dry out. Otherwise...ewww...it will mold. So, if you HAND WASH the container immediately and put it on the rack to dry, etc. You'll be ok. But if you make a mistake, or if water gets in there anyhow, you can see it when you hold the empty, clean container up to bright light. Shake it and see if you see any water. It will be obvious. - Please don't get frustrated this takes up so much space and is heavy...measure beforehand and see. It is a MONSTER, but if you like making frozen treats it is so wonderful to make something that same day. Especially sorbets with frozen fruit - with a good blender, frozen strawberry-lemon sorbet is done and in freezer to harden, start to finish, in less than an hour. You are making counter space and paying for that freedom and to make multiple batches in succession. Otherwise, get one of the frozen canister ones. I started with those and had the same one for years until I splurged for this one because I wanted to use the freezer space that the canister took up for the ice cream! The frozen canister ones are great, too. - Be prepared, this is kinda loud. It isn't a vacuum cleaner loud, not a blender on high power loud, but loud. That compressor is working hard to freeze your wonderful ice cream. - Invest in some good books with solid tested recipes. My favorites are "Hello My Name Is Ice Cream" and "The Perfect Scoop". I hope this help you decide if this is the right option for your frozen treat freezing. Our family and friends benefit from this bulky, loud, but highly functional machine!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Really? (Amazon) claims 45% savings off price ($545). Come one, retail price from Cusinart is $299. zero/nada/0 % savings!**
A: So here it is 2018 and Amazon still claiming a $545 MSRP, while Cuisinart is showing a MSRP of $299.

**Q: Trying to decide between Cuisinart ICE-100 and Breville BCI600XL.  Would love your thoughts.**
A: I have not used the Breville so I can't comment on it but I have been very happy with the Cuisinart ICE 100. Have had it about three months and have made probably 40 batches of gelato and sorbet. It is easy to clean and have made back-to-back batches with no problems. I am happy with it. It is a little noisy because my kitchen and family room are together and it is hard to hear the TV but I can live with that.

**Q: Can I make a pint of ice cream in one use, or do I have to make the full 1.5 qt?**
A: Absolutely you can.  And like Calvin said, the less ice cream you make the faster it freezes.  I have had mine for over a year now and it continues to work flawlessly.  Excellent product.

**Q: Once you've made your ice cream, if you then freeze it hard in the freezer, does it become like regular scoopable ice cream, or does it get icy?**
A: It all depends on the recipe.  If the recipe has less butterfat and sugar (like ice milk) then it gets icy and hard.  More butterfat, more heavy cream, cream cheese, etc. and it stays scoopable.  If it has alcohol in it (e.g. rum, Cointreau) it stays slushy. what you want is a r ecipe that is "just enough" of butterfat, surgar and alcohol to give you the texture you like.
