Luego de ver videos y leer reseñas en torno a este producto, me decidí por su adquisición.Como soy creativa, miré el catálogo de recetas, pero los helados los estoy haciendo según mi inspiración ya que como amo tanto estos refrigerios, y mi familia mucho más, podemos reducir la cantidad de azúcar y hasta de leche y crema, pero en mi caso, hago mis helados con leche vegetal y azúcar del monje. Los postres de ellos los hago con leche y azúcar moreno. A ambas mezclas les agrego una medida de goma xantana para evitar el hielo en el helado y el resultado es un postre suave, con consistencia y muy delicioso.He hecho helados de batata dulce, de coco, de vainilla, coco con leche, de galletas oreo, de chocolate, de fresas... Es tan buena y rendidora, que en mi hogar están locos por ella y dicen que ha sido una de las mejores compras que he realizado.Le doy cuatro estrellas porque el cuenco hay que refrigerarlo por mucho tiempo, a veces de un día para otro o más días y esto implica que si quiero helados para mañana, ya debo colocar el envase desde ayer u hoy desde la mañana. Lo bueno es que como estamos en invierno, el proceso se agiliza.Lo mejor de todo es que tenemos nuestros postres al alcance de la familia y con la mejor calidad.

I bought this model (the ICE-30BC) rather than the smaller 1.5-quart model (ICE-21) even though I got a good recommendation for the ICE-21 mostly because from the reviews it appears to me that the ICE-30BC has a more heavy-duty motor and I plan to USE this baby -- two to three times a week. I'm really glad not to have to deal with the ice and salt in the manual or crank-type ice cream maker models, and I find that this model does a GREAT job as long as I (1) freeze the container 20-24 hours before making the ice cream; and (2) refrigerate the ice cream mixture until cold before making the ice cream. (But when I don't want to wait, I can just put a warmer ice cream mixture in and let the ice cream maker run an extra 10 minutes or so.)

I find it easy to keep on the counter and I like the simple design and ease of use. Remember to always put the inner container in a plastic sack before freezing so you don't get freezer burn when you pull it out to make ice cream! I use a dish cloth or potholders to pull it out of the sack and place it into the machine. If you have small children around you will want to take extra precautions that they will not end up with their little fingers getting stuck to the sides. (Ouch!!) I might consider paying the extra two or three hundred bucks to get an ice cream maker with a compressor if I had kids in the house, because it would make it safer for them.

Okay, it's true: I'm a health foodie. But I'm a foodie too, and I love to eat ice cream. When I discovered that even Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream had corn syrup on the ingredients list I knew I was going to have to make it myself. (Note: Ben & Jerry's is now owned by the same company that owns Hellman's, Dove and Slim-Fast, so I'm sure Ben & Jerry were telling the truth in their ice cream recipe book when they said they never use corn syrup). And by the way: commercial ice cream is NOT required to list all ingredient, which can include: propylene glycol, ethyl acetate, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, caroxymethyl cellulose, butyraldehyde, and amyl acetate.

Nancy Pisctello reported for Natural News, "Aldehyde C-17, flavoring for cherry ice cream, is an inflammable liquid used in dyes, plastics, and rubber. Piperonal, used in place of vanilla, is a lice killer. Ethyl Acetate, a pineapple flavor, can also clean leather and textiles."

High fructose corn syrup is deadly, but what about those of us who need to lower or eliminate sugars from our diets? Diabetes is on the rise (no doubt thanks partially to the corn syrup so prevalent in so many processed foods), but aspartame could arguably be even more deadly.

And what about milk allergies? Personally, I'm not allergic to milk, but I have no interest in drinking it or freezing it to consume when it has been homogenized ("Some researchers believe that these protein-heavy fat globules can potentially increase homogenized milk's ability to cause allergic reactions. Numerous studies confirm this, at least with rodents as test subjects." - Raw-Milk-Facts.com) or pasteurized (cooked).

So for me, I want my ice cream raw, organic, generally milk-and-cream-free (since I don't have access to raw), low-to-no-glycemic and soy-free. The sweetener I use is non-GMO xylitol; and rather than milk and/or cream I usually use homemade almond milk or coconut milk. I can also add the very best ingredients and in place of butterfat some coconut oil (about 6-8 TBL. per 2-quart mixture).

Now I can for the first time in my life eat ice cream -- and regularly -- that is absolutely GOOD for me. I find that just a cup or two a day is usually all I want, because it is so SATISFYING.

Oh, and I also use raw egg yolks. It helps give the ice cream a better texture, but I am also very happy to do this because I believe that raw egg yolks are very good for me (although I would never use factory-farm eggs for this; only organic and preferably from local people who I know let their chickens graze in GMO-free pastures, give them love and would never feed them any GMO corn or other common feed ingredients that are becoming almost typically GMO -- that is, genetically modified. I never could stomach eating raw egg yolks "straight" and am so happy to have such a fun way to add them to my diet! (I'm also basically a raw foodist and cooking the eggs never felt totally agreeable to me.)

The ice cream is easy and fun to make with this ice cream maker. I am really thrilled to have this product! My only complaints are (1) the loud noise -- but it's liveable; and (2) so many times I have seen this product marketed as "stainless steel" with the excuse being that it is "stainless-steel-colored." That is poppycock. Just tell the truth, guys. I'm okay with aluminum because the product is cold and because I don't use metal utensils that would scratch and release aluminum from the canister -- but I really do NOT appreciate being lied to like that. I should give the product only 4 stars because of the deceptive marketing I have seen, but I'll give it 5 stars anyhow because I'm so glad to have it!

It's really sad all the health-robbing ingredients in store-bought ice cream. I'm so glad I get to make it myself now with relative ease!!

This is a very good ice cream machine for its class (home use, freezer bowl). I'd owned the 1 1/2 quart Cusinart model and liked it a lot. Then someone in my house put the drum in the dishwasher and I found out when I tried to make a batch of ice cream that wouldn't freeze. Using the 1 1/2 quart model I was always scaling down recipes or hovering over the ice cream as it churned with a spoon, stealing spoonfuls ice cream as it threatened to overflow the ice cream maker because I overfilled it (not that I really minded that). I like the 2 quart size for those reasons,

If you've never owned one of these types of ice cream makers before, here's an overview. There are two main parts as far as what makes the ice cream. There is a paddle and a drum, aka the freezer bowl. The night before you intend to make ice cream (or earlier) park your clean freezer bowl in the coldest part of your freezer overnight. This is essential that the bowl be frozen through with no sloshing sound. This drum is what chills the ice cream.

When you're ready to make the ice cream, put the frozen freezer bowl into the base of the ice cream machine, put the paddle in and put the top on, start the machine and then pour your cold (repeat COLD) ice cream mixture into the freezer bowl as it runs. The cold of the freezer bowl chills the ice cream mixture, the paddle scraps the sides of the freezer bowl as it turns which scrapes off the freezing ice cream incorporating it back into the ice cream mixture and churns air into the mixture. Let the machine run for 20ish minutes. Give it a peak every once in a while because watched ice cream never freezes ;). When it's done, you'll hear the motor struggle a bit more because of the thickness of the ice cream, the ice cream will be soft serve consistency and will be done as far as its adventure with the machine. From here you could eat it as soft serve, or scoop out the ice cream into a freezer safe container and freeze it for a few hours. let the freezer bowl warm up a little, then wash by hand with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth.

The negative comments that people have left seem mostly to be due to them not understanding how this machine works or that they expected something different, or both. Yes, you have to freeze the bowl overnight -- that's how this type of ice cream machine chills ice cream. It doesnt have its own refridgeration unit. If you want that, then pay 5x+ the price for a different type of machine. No, this machine doesn't produce solid hard ice cream -- it produces soft serve consistency because it churns and you can't churn rock solid ice cream. And You MUST WASH THE FREEZER BOWL BY HAND. This isn't a "to keep it looking it's best" issue like you sneak your pots and pans in the dishwasher even though you shouldn't -- the heat from the dishwasher will destroy the freezing liquid in the bowl and the bowl will never make ice cream again. You can tell that a well meaning relative put your bowl in the dishwasher because the bowl will still sound sloshy even though it's been freezing for days.

The It Never Froze My Ice Cream comments -- the person either put their freezer bowl in the dishwasher or the bowl wasn't cold enough. Or the freezer bowl was defective.
The It Won't Make Ice Cream Immediately, It Makes Soft Serve...comments -- that's true, but that's how this machine works.

Some have commented that they have to let the finished ice cream (after being I the freezer) sit on the counter for 15 minutes until they can scoop it. My suggestions are: 1. Use more fat in your recipe, 2. Let it churn more air as the machine runs, 3. Know that most commercial ice creams have a ton of what they call "overhead" which is basically air in the ice cream. You may notice that the same volume of two different brands of ice cream weigh differently. Ultra premium brands like Haagen Daaz have little overhead compared to, say most grocery store brands. Lower quality ice creams also have thickeners and stabilizers that hold the ice cream together but keep it from really forming solid. Ever leave a bowl of ice cream on the counter overnight and the next day it's a little melted but mostly in the same shape? That's the stabilizers. All of this makes commercial ice cream soft and easy to scoop even though it's frozen. Take heart that better quality ice creams like the one you are making are naturally harder when frozen, and therefore may take a sturdy ice cream scoop and perhaps a little muscle to scoop. On properly made ice creams (enough fat, enough churning) I've never made a batch too hard to scoop straight from the freezer.

In short, this machine works beautifully and its make quality ice cream. I'm very happy with it.

Pretty easy to use, super easy to cleanup.
My kids love's to use it.
You must have to keep the inner container in your freezer to save time.
Great value for the money.

We are huge ice cream fans so we decided to start making our own. We have not been disappointed in any of the flavours we have made. Can take a little time to make but the end result was amazing.
The machine itself is a little noisy but it’s only for 25 mins. We keep our bowl in the freezer so we are always prepared for making a delicious treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactamente lo que dice ser... ¡¡una heladera!!

Exactamente lo que dice ser... ¡¡una heladera!!

uno muy bueno, 19 minutos para un helado casero perfecto y de elaboración tradicional, con un servicio suave y de firmeza media.

Todos los que se quejan de que esto no es tan difícil como el helado comprado en la tienda no tienen ni idea de cómo debería verse y sentirse el helado hecho en casa.

Cómo lo sé... 40 años haciendo helados, un tío dueño de su propia y famosa fábrica de helados en México, [Lo has comprado en el pasado, te lo garantizo].
Un abuelo que trabajó en KRAFT durante más de 50 años en preparación de alimentos y recetas.

por todas las reseñas de una estrella, especialmente la que analiza cada receta y le dice que no funcionará. O no tienes ni idea de cómo utilizar la máquina correctamente, o no estás siguiendo las instrucciones y/o tu refrigerador no es capaz de congelar el recipiente. SIMPLE COMO ESO.

Todas mis recetas han salido perfectas... LO QUE recomendaría es...

1. Enfríe la mezcla de helado en el refrigerador hasta que esté completamente fría. Esto puede tardar varias horas dependiendo de lo viejo que sea su refrigerador. Estoy bastante seguro de que ninguno de ustedes ha hecho reparar sus refrigeradores desde que los compraron... ;Op
2. Enfríe el recipiente para congelar en el congelador durante al menos 24 horas la primera vez, para que no escuche el movimiento del líquido cuando lo agite.
3. Coloque el fondo del recipiente de enfriamiento detrás del congelador.
4. Cuando esté listo para hacer helado, tenga todos los ingredientes listos para que cuando saque el intestino frío esté listo para llenarlo y encenderlo para batir el helado en menos de 2 minutos.
5. Asegúrate de que tu cocina no esté caliente, como en Campeche, Acapulco, Veracruz, etc.
6. Finalmente use una crema espesa de buena calidad, no LECHE o leche delicia... se llama ICE-CREAM, no leche helada.

Limpiar es fácil, para la revisión a la que no le gustó limpiar la paleta, ¡deténgase, por favor!

¡Todos los electrodomésticos después de su uso necesitan limpieza en la cocina!
Para la revisión que decía que esto es solo un granizado congelado y una paleta para rasparlo, puedes hacer esto en una batidora, MAL, no puedes, toda la técnica para hacer helado consiste en batir con paletas para romper los cristales de hielo. así se ha hecho durante más de 200 años.

Diré que la mayoría de las reseñas negativas de una estrella en Amazon {80% o más} en todos los productos se deben a error o ignorancia del cliente. La mayoría de las reseñas de una estrella aquí se encuentran en esa situación.

Se trata de una heladera sencilla, moderadamente silenciosa y fácil de usar. Como chef ejecutivo lo recomiendo.

1.0 out of 5 stars wrong electric current specs.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 21, 2016
Color: Brushed ChromePattern Name: MakerVerified Purchase
buying the Cuisinart ICE-30Bc from U.K , the electric current is supposed to be 220 volts. to my shock and surprise, i received the unit and plugged it in Jordan and it burned because the electric current requirement on the bottom of the unit says 110 volts .

this is unusual to sell electric run units in the U.K. with 110 volts electric requirement. now i am trying to repair the unit in Jordan on my own expense and i blame this on you.
