 ICE 30bc – Home Made Automatic Ice Cream Maker From Cuisinart
Now you can make your own ice cream and experiment with your own flavors and styles of iced dessert. The
Ice 30bc is an automatic ice cream maker that you can use at home to make ice cream, sorbets,
frozen yogurt and iced drinks like a slush puppy. It is part of a range of ice cream makers made by Cuisinart, a
household name in home appliances. Here is a brief review of what you can expect of the ICE 30bc ice cream maker.
The Ice 30bc Cuisinart is a table or counter top ice cream
maker. What this means is that it uses a double insulated bowl that needs to be pre-frozen before you can
start making any form of iced dessert with it. It can take around 8 hours to completely freeze the bowl (you are
actually freezing a coolant which sits in between the inner surface and the outer sides of the bowl). Most people
will simply leave the bowl in their fridge freezer over night.
Apart from the all important bowl, the rest of the machine consists of a motor that will turn a paddle. The
turning paddle fits into the bowl and begins to churn the ice cream ingredients. This process of churning combines
and slowly aerates the mixture. This aerating process combined with the constant freezing supplied by the bowl will
make ice cream ingredients into a creamy, soft but consistent ice cream.
Tasting your own home made ice cream is something else, if you have been used to the shop bought varieties,
especially if you use all natural ingredients. In most cases the complete process from pouring the ingredients into
the bowl to tasting the ice cream will take around 20-30 minutes.
The Cuisinart ICE-30BC makes up to 2 quarts (close to 2 liters) of ice
cream which is plenty for a large family or even for special occasions. It is a very easy machine to use once you
have frozen the bowl. Pour the ingredients into the bowl, set the motor running and come back in half a hour for
delicious iced treats.
Some of the other features that help to make you job a little easier are the open top and transparent
lid. By taking the lid off, you can add dry ingredients to the mixture. So if you want to add fresh fruit
to your frozen yogurt, lift the lid and drop the fruit in. It will get distributed evenly throughout the yogurt via
the paddle. Close the lid to keep the temperature cold and watch as the mixture combines and forms a solid
consistency.
It is easy to use but also easy to maintain. The only parts of the machine that will ever need
a thorough cleaning are the paddle and the bowl. They can be washed with warm water (paddle detaches and the bowl
has a stick free inner surface making it easy to remove leftover ice cream.) The rest of the machine can simply be
brushed down with a wet sponge or cloth if it needs any cleaning at all.
The ice-30bc also has a stylish look to it. It is finished in a brushed stainless steel which gives it a
contemporary look and compact design. In terms of specifications, it measures around about 8-1/4 by 8 by 11-1/4
inches.
