Cuisinart® Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt Maker

Frozen treats in any flavor you can dream up are just a few easy steps away - without messy ice or salt. Cuisinart's fully automatic ice cream maker can hatch a 1.5-quart batch of ice cream, yogurt, sorbet or frozen drinks in as little as 20 minutes. Once you toss your ingredients into the spout, the heavy-duty motor, double-insulated freezer bowl and patented mixing paddle do all the work for you. Bowl must be frozen overnight in advance. The results are consistently smooth, and clean-up is a breeze. Cuisinart® Wedding Registry offers -White and transparent plastic -Double insulated freezer bowl -Easy pour-in spout -Heavy-duty motor -No ice or salt required -Instruction/recipe book included -Hand wash removable parts -Made in China

new found icecream lover

"I never made icecrea before. Whenever I read about ice and salt and cranking...I would just stop reading. But, I decided to try this maker based on the reviews and what seemed simple directions. So far I've made peanut butter icecream, strawberry icecream and raspberry sorbet and I am not disappointed, but rather surprised that I could pull this off. Some reviews said that one could make two types of icecream with one "freeze," but I imagine it would be somelthing like vanilla and then chocolate. I might try this; however, I ordered an extra bowl with the offer that is currenty available. When the directions say to put the product in the freezer for a harder icecream, it is correct! The icecream does get harder; at least that is the way we like it. All parts are simple to clean. And it appears the bowl freezes much quicker than what is recommend, but I have not tried making icecream before the 16 hour minimum. As far as expense compared to store bought non-premium, this is not a cheaper way to get icecream, but at least I know what is going in and what goes in regarding presevatives (as in things like chips, cookie dough, etc., is your choice). Buying by the scoop at an icecream shop is much more expensive. And, further, the icecream made with this maker is of premium quality. If this machine turns out to be durable, it's a 10 star!"

Awesome machine

"First time I used it, took only 20 minutes to make the best tasting frozen yogurt. The family loved the fact that it was low calorie. Since that first use, I have played around with many combinations and have been able to make some awesome tasting frozen yogurt and low fat ice cream. Vanilla seems to be the
magic ingredient in whatever you make. The machine gets turned on while we are eating dinner and by the time we have finished the frozen dessert is ready!

Perfect Family Gift

"I bought this for my husband as a Christmas present and he loved it! He is a chef and enjoys cooking at home so this was like a cherry on the pie. It is so simple to use that even my 5-year old daughter helps his dad to make some sweet treats for the family. It turned out to be a pefect family gift since we have all enjoyed it!"

So Good And So Easy To Use

"The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker is so easy to use. You just pour in the ingredients and the machine handles the rest. You can alter the ingredients to reduce the calorie and fat content and it comes out just great. You can add any kind of crushed candy to give it your own unique twist."

Great gift

"I bought this for my husband as a Christmas gift and he loves it! It couldn't be any easier to use (he was quite proud to say he made it himself) and the recipe for chocolate ice cream produced a decadent result."

Loved Shower Gift

"I purchased the Cuisinart Ice Cream/Frozen Yogurt Maker for a shower gift. It looked nice, but when I went to check out the salesperson told me many of the store employees LOVE theirs. While we were talking 3 or 4 employees walked by and noticed what I was buying. They all raved about the machine. Can't get any better recommendations than that! Now I want one for myself. The bride to be was thrilled!"

Excellent Product!

"This is absolutely fantastic! Makes the best (creamy) ice-creams and sorbets. A great gift to give and to receive. Love it!
And the recipe booklet that comes with this is a keeper. Follow instructions to the T and you will never be disappointed."

Love It!

"I love how easy the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker is to use! We made the basic vanilla recipe and added pistachios and chocolate chips and within 20 minutes we had fresh, delicious ice cream! The best this is that I know the ingredients that are going into it! I would definitely recommend this product."

A Great Find!

"I have been watching this ice cream maker for some time at C&B online and debating the purchase because I have the old-fashioned ice cream freezer.
It was a great find and was on sale, so even better!! It makes beautiful, creamy ice cream in a fraction of the time and without the mess!
The staff who helped me with the purchase could not have been more friendly and helpful!
Thank you!"

Affordable Fun for Everyone

"My daughter received this item as a wedding gift and loved it so much that I purchased one for my husband, who includes ice cream as a part of his daily diet. But it has turned into a family affair. We have found it so much fun to be creative, whether it's with friends, grandkids, neighbors or just for ourselves! Once we were able to master the basic formula, we created our own gourmet flavors!
I would be remiss if I didn't mention the excellent service I received when I purchased this item. Crate and Barrel should be commended for their ALWAYS friendly service.

I want one!!!

"My daughter is registered with C&B for her Oct. wedding, and all her gifts are coming to my home and of all her great C&B gifts this is the one I want to keep. I will be purchasing one in the near future for my Dad, and sure hope someone will get me one for Christmas. If not I might just have to buy one for my self. It has taken a lot of self control not to try it out."

Delicious, creamy ice cream!

"I purchased this ice cream maker from Crate and Barrel this summer and have used it several times to make ice cream. Set up is simple and directions are easy to follow. The ice cream is of a smooth texture and freezes nicely. Clean up is equally as easy. Yes, I would recommend this product to anyone. I foun the creamiest results by preparing a custard and then freezing. Yum!!"

Scrumptious gelato!

"I bought this for my husband, who believes that ice cream is its own food group. We decided to make chocolate gelato with chocolate chunks. Since we have heart conditions, we have to be careful of certain ingredients, so substitutions were made (2% milk, Splenda instead of sugar). It turned out beautifully and was just delicious, especially when it's been in the freezer only 20 minutes or so - it's like soft serve ice cream. It may be my freezer but we did freeze what was left and it was as hard as a rock the next day. Looking forward to trying more recipes."

Best buy!

"Love this ice cream maker! I live overseas and ice cream here is very expensive. I had purchased another ice cream maker but was not satisfied with the product. This ice cream maker is so easy to use, clean and makes wonderful ice cream! Finally my family can eat ice cream more often!"

Requires planning

"I asked for this as a gift from my husband. I recall having an ice cream maker as a child and it being so fun to make with my dad. We have two small children now and I want to create those memories with them. My birthday was in July an we have yet to use it because the day we were going to I discovered that it would be 2.5 hours before we could enjoy our tasty creation. That's why if you are good at planning you will use it more than us."

"I have created the most amazing treats with this in the two weeks since I've had it. The canister fits snuggly into my freezer without taking up too much room, as does the machine on my countertop. recommended for sure!"

Great Purchase!

"This machine is wonderful! I think we have made ice cream or sorbet every night since we have owned it! The product also comes with a bunch of recipes and we have already tried out vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter cup, s'mores, dark chocolate sorbet, blueberry (instead of raspberry) sorbet, and cheesecake with raspberry sauce! I will admit there are some slight caveats...you need to keep the bowl in the freezer until you are ready to use it for this machine to work as expected. I do wish the ice cream would get firmer in the 20 minutes or so that it mixes, but that is easily fixed by putting a portion in the freezer for 10 or 15 minutes to firm up. It makes a good amount (we have a family of 5 and it makes enough for everyone to have a bowl)...sometimes we even have leftovers! Overall this is an FANTASTIC product and I am so glad I bought it!!"
