Simple and delicious.
5/5
When summer is here and the weather heats up, we're always looking for ways to stay cool and there's no better way than a delicious bowl of ice cream. What can be more satisfying than some delicious ice cream made at home?
The Cuisinart Ice Cream Deluxe ICE30BCU is a great value option to help you do just that.
The main positive about this device is that it is extremely easy to use. There are few parts to put together, and no complicated settings. Just the device, the bowl, the paddle and the lid, and one knob to turn it on and off. Could it get any easier?
25-30 minutes of churning and some soft scoop ice cream is ready to eat. If you like your ice cream firmer, you can pop it in the freezer once it has churned and it'll stiffen up some more.
The instruction booklet includes 10 handy recipes to get you started, then once you have your confidence you can move on to creating your own concoctions.
Getting things set up is easy, but it does take time to get the bowl frozen, ready to produce ice cream. You have to freeze the bowl for a minimum of 12 hours which means if you want ice cream sharpish and have just bought the device, you are going to have to wait.
For future creations, it's best to keep the bowl in the freezer permanently, meaning it's ready to go in an instant whenever you want to use it. The bowl has a height of 16cm which can prove a little tricky depending on your freezer. If you have a chest freezer it won't be a problem but if your freezer has drawers, you'll have to look for the deepest drawer to ensure it fits with ease.
The design of the device is a highlight - brushed steel - meaning it is attractive and fits in well with most modern appliances. The square shape means it is easy to store - in a corner or in the cupboard without taking up too much space.
Finally, the device comes with a 5 year guarantee so you have peace of mind that the device will last and you'll be creating delicious ice cream for many years to come.
