Kenwood IM250 Ice Cream maker, 2009-10-06 Looking for an Ice Cream maker with detachable bowl at a reasonable price.This unit fits the bill, is easy to use & clean. Must remember to freeze the bowl 24 hrs before required. Best if ingredients are chilled in the fridge before processing. Have had very good results.
kenwood ice cream maker, 2009-10-06 very good value for money.Recipes in book not that good but have used other recipes that taste so much better and easy to make
Not worth the effort, 2010-03-20 Ghastly , long and protracted effort and the bowl is far, far too small. Wish I'd never bought it.
Brilliant icecream every time, 2009-07-28 This maker is really simple to use, makes delicious icecream in 20 to 30mins and is easy to clean. You can see the icecream as it is being made so you can stop the machine at your desired consistency or add choc chips, nuts, fruit, marshmallows, choc sauce, whatever you fancy, 2mins before the icecream is ready. Highly recommend Ben & Jerry's icecream recipe book with this product.
Only possible downsides to be aware of with this maker are:
a)
It's 1 litre in size, but it will only make about a pint (less than half a litre) of icecream at a time. The maker needs that bit of extra room to churn the mixture. I have found out the more room you leave the better! Invest in a larger maker if you want to serve more than 4 people at a time, or make the icecream in 1pint batches in advance. I prefer this smaller model as I know no matter how large the batch my family will eat it all when its made, so the smaller batch is better for the waistline!
b)
If you prefer hard icecream -- when the maker is ready transfer the mix to another bowl to freeze it further. When the maker is finished it is just at the dangerous "eat me now" phase! I prefer it at this stage but maybe others wouldn't
c)
The bowl needs to be frozen for at least 24hrs in advance. This is a pain if you want icecream right away. I've taken to storing the bowl in the chest freezer permanently, but some small home freezers wouldn't have this option. In order to clean the bowl properly one should defrost it fully and wash it out before refreezing. This wastes a lot of time and energy, I'd recommend cleaning the bowl out with a soft plastic spatula to remove icecream traces and a quick wipe of a clean warm damp cloth before replacing in the freezer.
Enjoy!
Ice Cream maker, 2009-09-23 It's really easy to use, and takes only 20 mins to produce a litre of yummy ice cream! I've recommended it and also bought one as a gift for a friend. Highly recommend it - but make sure that your freezer drawers are deep enough to accommodate the bowl, which needs to be frozen for 24hrs before each ice-cream production session (it's easier to keep it in the freezer permanently).
