The Cuisinart ICE 30BC Pure Indulgence 2 quart automatic frozen yogurt, sorbet and homemade ice cream maker looks good, cleans easily, and makes 2 quarts of homemade frozen desserts. The classy, brushed-metal exterior fits in with any kitchen style, and its cord stows away in the unit for tidy counter top or cabinet storage. With its small footprint it not only looks good on the counter, it isn’t a space hog.
Using a pre-frozen bowl and a churning paddle, the appliance turns pre-mixed ingredients into ice cream, yogurt, or sorbet in 25 minutes. A hole in the top of the unit makes it easy to add ingredients, like cookie crumbles, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips, while churning.
One sure sign that the Cuisinart ICE 30BC Pure Indulgence 2 quart ice cream maker is easy to use is the amount of space required in its manual for operating instructions. This product barely fills one page in the manual, and that page includes cleaning instructions.
Freezing the bowl properly can be challenging if the freezer is not set on zero degrees or isn’t working well. The manual suggests pre-freezing the bowl for as little as six hours or as long as 22 hours. A few shakes of the bowl reveal whether or not it is completely frozen.
