Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart ICE-40BK Flavor Duo Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt, and Sorbet Maker
Customer Review: Amazing Ice Cream Maker!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third ice cream maker. I received my first ice cream maker as a Christmas gift when I was about 7. I opened the box and the ice cream maker was dirty, it looked used, so we returned it and did not get a replacement.. I had slightly more luck with second ice cream maker, I actually made ice cream in it once! I received the second ice cream maker when I was about 13. It was one of those giant buckets with a big machine that sat on top, you had to fill it with a ton of ice and rock salt. It was really loud, big, messy, took up my whole sink and the ice cream came out horrible. So now here I am, 8 years later, and I see this Cuisinart ICE-40 ice cream maker being advertised on TV.. I had to buy it, so I did. I received it shortly after, opened it up, cleaned the parts, put the 2 bowls in the freezer overnight and the next day I made my first frozen treat: Coca-Cola Slushy. It came out perfect, I just poured a few cups of Cola in and turned the machine on, 15 minutes later I had slushies! I put the rest in the freezer for 30 minutes and it was even better! I was excited so I had to make more, but since I did not have any ice cream ingredients yet, I decided to make another slushy, this time I made lemonade slushy. It was like the slush truck came to my house, it tasted great and came out perfect. The following day I went to the store to pick up ingredients to make Frozen Peach Yogurt and Peppermint Stick Ice Cream... I made the Frozen Peach Yogurt first, it came out perfect, it's really creamy and tastes great (and I don't even like peaches!). So then I started to make the Peppermint Stick Ice Cream (which I hate), which I had confused with Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream (which I love), so with a little modification, some green food coloring, and Andes Mint Chocolates instead of candy cane chunks, I had perfect green Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. It tastes just like the kind I buy at the store but it is way creamier. The machine makes perfect frozen treats. I was worried after reading some reviews that it would be really noisy but it is not, it is no where near as loud as a blender, it sounds like a muffled can opener. I was surprised how quiet it is. It's real easy to use and clean, and it's easy to make your own recipes. I had some leftovers from the peach yogurt and mint ice cream so I mixed them together and made this excellent vanilla frozen yogurt, which I'm eating as I write this review. It tastes almost like McDonalds Vanilla Soft Serve Ice Cream. Mmmm!I am really happy with this purchase, finally an ice cream maker that is easy to use and works!

Description of Cuisinart ICE-40BK Flavor Duo Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt, and Sorbet Maker
Cuisinart® lets you indulge guests and delight family with a variety of frozen desserts. With the touch of a button, this stunning brushed stainless steel dessert maker automatically starts the process. Ingredients are added to double-insulated freezer bowls through easy-pour spouts to create the smoothest, creamiest frozen desserts.Creating either 1 or 2 quarts of ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, or frozen drinks at home takes only about 20 minutes with this Cuisinart machine, and because it features two separate 1-quart chilling chambers, it can make two flavors at once. Salt, ice, and effort are not needed. Place the machine's chilling chambers in a freezer for about eight hours to thoroughly freeze the liquid between the walls. Then position one or both of the chambers atop the power base, insert the plastic paddles in the chambers, lock the transparent tops in place, and turn on the machine. (A switch activates one or two paddles as desired.) Add the ingredients in the chambers through openings in the top as the paddles turn. The chambers chill the ingredients to whatever consistency is desired, though dense treats are hard to make because the paddles churn in air.
Users can add chocolate chips, chopped fruit, nuts, and other special ingredients toward the end. The chambers are nonstick for easy cleanup. Storing them in the freezer ensures frozen confections are only 20 to 40 minutes away when the mood strikes. With its power base encased in stainless steel, this sleek machine readily wipes clean. It carries a three-year warranty against defects. A detailed instruction booklet containing many recipes is included. --Fred Brack
