Easy to use, but the jury is still out... August 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was in the market for an ice cream maker and really didn't want another appliance that I had to find room for in my kitchen. An attachment to my mixer seemed like a great idea. I tried it over the weekend for the first time using a recipe from my mom that we used to use in an old crank-style ice cream maker when I was a kid. After 30 minutes, the recommended time in the mixer, the ice cream was still pretty liquid, not even soft serve yet. I took it out and put it in a container in the freezer. After a few hours, the ice cream was hard. I think I will try it a bit longer next time. Of course the ice cream was great, but that's because of the recipe. I would like to see how long it takes for the soft serve consistency.

Loved it, but it didn't last August 8, 2008

My husband and I love making ice cream with this attachment. It is easy to use and we've tried a variety of recipes (we especially love the ones at http://www.users.nwark.com/~piperw/icpage.htm). However, after a couple years of use (maybe used 15-20 times overall), the attachment began to leak the blue freezer fluid. I expected a pricey KitchenAid attachment to last longer than 15-20 uses. The store is letting us exchange for a new one, so hopefully we won't have the problem again.

I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday and because we try to avoid processed food but love ice cream - a tough dilemma! We love it! I bought it because he already had a kitchenaid stand mixer, and I didn't want to buy yet another appliance to store in our cozy (small) apartment. We've made several batches in the last couple of weeks, all of which turned out really well, once we perfected the batter. We've only done ice cream and custards, but I'm excited about doing some sorbets and frozen yogurts.

I think that one negative, which is probably just because I didn't realize what was involved with ice cream making, is that you have to freeze the bowl for 15+ hours before using it - which requires some planning. Also, I'm not sure how it would do if you wanted to make more than one batch at a time - you might have to re-freeze the bowl. The batters require a bit of a learning curve, especially if you're an amateur and learning how to temper eggs! Just search online and you'll be fine... it also takes a little practice. Finally, I was a little suprised when the ice cream never really 'thickened' or completely froze while mixing. My boyfriend told me that it's not supposed to. The maker is just supposed to get it to be like soft-serve and get air into the mix so it's light and creamy. You let the mixer do it's thing, then put it in a container - big, cheap rubbermaid works well - and back in the freezer for a few more hours to harden, especially for batters with a lot of stuff in them - like fruit or bananas. After figuring all that out, we discovered that it makes delicious (all natural, organic, corn-free, etc...) ice cream!

Very easy to use (I already love my Kitchen Aid anyway). I wish it came with more recipes.

I ordered the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker after reviewing dozens of ice cream makers. It performs perfectly each time (I've made 5 different ice creams and sorbets in 5 weeks) and is easy to use. I've sent this as a gift on two occasions and the recipients have been pleased with it as well. Several reviewers have offered helpful suggestions, and to those I would add cooling your custard by putting the pan in a half-filled sink of cold water and stirring for a minute or two. Then it only takes about 15 minutes in the fridge before it's ready to go into the ice cream maker. I'll also recommend Nigella Lawson's Forever Summer for great recipes.
