Kitchenaid Ice Cream Maker Bowl - 1.9L

Very happy with the ice cream maker. Made the most delicious strawberry ice cream with it.

Received my kitchen ice cream maker and after reading the instructions - put the ice cream bowl in the freezer overnight- I made my first ice cream batter using the vanilla ice cream recipe from kitchen aid. Following the instruction my mixer creamed the items together and then that went in the fridge overnight after cooling. The next day I slid the adapter and the paddle into the bowl. Setting the mixer on 4 for 20 minutes the batter turned into ice cream. I added some chopped Maltesers. Very easy to use and clean after. The ice cream is delicious. I have since made hibiscus and blackberry sorbet - I was worried about staining the bowl but I washed it straight away and it was fine. I put the bowl in a small white bin bag and keep it in the freezer ready for my next experiment - coconut rum ice cream. I am very pleased with the ice cream maker and as the bowl stays in the freezer the other two attachments just go with my other KitchenAid attachments. I would recommend, particularly as on offer at the moment.

Fab ice cream! Bought kitchen aid specifically to make ice cream for diabetic family member and friend who is dairy free. Love the coconut milk ice cream- very easy to use. Wish a recipe book came with it though as have to look up recipes online

If you want to make ice cream yourself, this is a great tool for that! We chilled the bowl overnight in the freezer, then put our creamy mix into it (churning for 25 mins) while watching it crystalize and get thick. The texture was like a "soft serve" which you can enjoy right away, but I'd recommend putting the churned ice cream into the freezer for another 2-4hours. As feedback for the brand, I think it would be helpful to include a disclaimer in the manual that a thin ice cream layer will stick to the sides and that it's simply a loss since I accidentally scratched our bowl trying to get all the ice cream out with a stainless steal spoon (as a silicon spatula wasn't working). After that scratch, we just cut our losses and washed the bowl with hot water which melted the remaining film away -- just felt kind of bad. I wonder if a scraping utensil could be provided with this? Just sharing our experience. Honestly love this though!

Very messy. The ooening is so small that pooring the mixture into to bowl is not easy and mixture goes everywhere. The icecream mixture went into the moving parts whi h is very difficult to clean. The first time we used it, the result was pretty good. The next ti.e, eventually it stopped churning is and just pushed frozen mixture around eithout actually mixing it. I wouldn't recomment it. Buy a propper icecream maker instead.
