Cuisinart ICE-30BC Pure Indulgence 2-Quart Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker Review
This does a great job! We bought it after our old fashioned wooden barrel ice cream maker died. This freezes the ice cream better than the old one– the key is to freeze the bowl well and cool the mix in the refrigerator until all the ingredients are cold. My only complaint is the size of the bowl– it is not very big at all. It takes me three batches in this one to make what my old make could make in one batch. It says two quarts but it is not nearly that big. Still a great maker and I am pleased overall. We do need a second bowl, though so we can make more than one batch. Would buy it again!

I purchased this product thinking it would be easier than making a trip to the store for a half gallon of ice cream. It took my wife almost seven hours to make the ice cream. One of the recipes that came with the product needed several hours of preparation before the half hour needed in the suprisingly loud machine. My wife and I had to stop watching our television program for over twenty minutes while the ice cream finished. It was more trouble than I thought it would be. I’d rather run to the store. Ice cream was very good though.

This ice cream maker is exactly what it says – easy, fast, and totally automatic. It’s not nearly as loud as some reviewers are complaining — even with it running, I can still hear my upstairs neighbor snoring. Unless you’re a complete moron or can’t follow the directions, you’re only about a half hour from amazingly tasty homemade ice cream at any given moment — as long as you keep the bowl in your freezer for spontaneous dessert-making sessions.

I purchased this machine for a gift. When my son and his family make ice cream they have to put it on a towel and put it in the bedroom with the door shut because this machine is soooo load. They have never been able to get the lid to stay on. When you start the machine the lid just pops off. The ice cream tastes great though. I think the inside part is too tall for the lid to fit properly.

The Cuisinart ICE-30BC is fine, if you don’t expect too much. I had to freeze the gel container a good 24 hours and cool the mixture to near freezing in order to get ice cream that was about the consistency of a Wendy’s Frosty. Unless you have a wealth of freezer space, the convenience of making ice cream with this machine is lost in the planning. The ice cream I made was indeed delicious but not superior enough to store-bought ice cream to justify the extra work.
