Product Description

Soft ice cream can be hardened inside an airtight container in the freezer within 2-4 hours. After a minimum of 15 hours in a an ordinary household freezer, liquid within the double walls of the freeze bowl provides thorough, even freezing of the ice cream batter throughout the mixing process. If the ice cream maker is used frequently the freeze bowl may be stored in the freezer for convenience. Cleaning the ice cream maker is easy.

maybe its the recipe, maybe its the machine.
This is a solid bowl of KitchenAid quality that goes in the freezer. I dont have a chest freezer and I couldnt find the dimensions of the bowl so it was really fingers crossed. For those that need to know, the dimensions are 30cm at the widest point (including the handles) by 18cm high. Therefore, provided that you have a drawer that can accommodate this you'll be fine. Mine didnt but i just removed the whole drawer at the bottom and placed it in the drawer space. This worked great.
When making ice-cream there are two methods. Cooked and uncooked. Im not really sure what the difference is, the Ben and Jerry's book I bought with it uses uncooked but Gordon Ramsay (who has never let me down) uses cooked.
I used Gordon's recipe with some simpler tweaks to make the base and basic vanilla ice cream which was amazing. Happy to share if needed.
A word of warning though: when you pour in the custard base make sure that you do it whilst the dasher/beater is turning. Do not stop it. The bowl gets so cold that it freezes the custard immediately and if you stop it you wont get it going again.
I was expecting very soft icecream from the reviews however was pleasantly surprised that it came out much more solid. It is easily the same firmness as premium brands ideal serving firmness (ie when you let them sit out before spooning and serving).
As with all things KitchenAid, its a long process and a lot of clean up. By the time you've bought all the ingredients and for the hassle I honestly think its cheaper to buy HD, B&J or G&B in the supermarket however the difference is instantly obvious on the first mouthful plus you can experiment with different flavour combinations.

Works very well but make sure it can fit in your freezer. Be careful when using the recipes as the one I tried over loaded the bowl. Easy to keep clean and easy to use.

If you love ice cream and you own a kitchenaid mixer you have to own one of these.
It is so easy to use, great fun making up new flavours and the end product is delicious.
Although it seemed a bit extravagant out of all the sensible things to buy for my mixer this is the attachment that I have used the most and enjoyed using.
It might seem expensive to buy but the ingredients used to make great ice cream are not.
I bought the Ben and Jerry ice cream recipe book to go with it and it is fun to read, explains how to make ice cream and the recipes are tasty and easy to follow it also gives you the confidence to try your own flavours once you know the basic method.
Although my hips are not, the rest of me is really pleased with the ice cream maker.

A KitchenAid essential.
Over the years I've tried similar ice cream makers and this is definitely the best. Make sure you order the KICA model, the drive assembly fits the European household stand mixers.

Good buy
Very good ice cream maker, however you will have to have either large frezeer or empty the deepest shelve / draw as pre-chilling is required for 48 hours.
