Freezing Time and Bowl Preparation
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is. It is recommended that you place the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer where it is the coldest. Be sure to place the freezer bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing.
Generally, freezing time is between 16 hours and 24 hours. Shake the bowl to determine whether it is completely frozen. If you do not hear the liquid within the bowl moving, the cooling liquid is therefore frozen. For the most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer at all times. Use the bowl immediately after removing from the freezer. It will begin to quickly defrost once it has been removed for the freezer.
Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure proper freezing of all foods.
Making Frozen Desserts or Drinks
- Use Cuisinart recipes included in the Instruction Booklet or use your own recipe, making sure it yields 1-1/2 quarts or less.
- Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer and place on the center of the base. The bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has been removed from the freezer. Use it immediately after removing from freezer.
- Place mixing paddle in freezer bowl. It rests in the center of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.
- Place lid on the base and rotate clockwise until tabs on lid lock in place on base.
- Press On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl will begin to turn.
- Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout. NOTE: Ingredients must be added to the freezer bowl after the unit is turned on.
- Frozen desserts or drinks will be done in less than 20 minutes. The time will depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert you are making. When the mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours.
Adding Ingredients
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert has began to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.

This little gadget has been fun to use and it’s so easy, almost foolproof, to have great-tasting ice cream without the mess of an old-fashioned salt-and-ice freezer. After trying one of the Cuisinarts I ordered another as a gift, along with a 1-1/2 qt oblong storage container (have tried both Tovolo and Sumo—they seem practically identical). After the initial experiments with various “rich” recipes and flavors, we will probably try some of the lower cal versions such as sorbets and ices, but for now, it’s full bore with the creamy goodness. Life is now measured “before homemade ice cream” and after!
Observations/methodology: Have tried various recipes—with eggs, cooked custard; with eggs, uncooked; no eggs, adding some instant vanilla pudding powder for extra thickness and body, and using fruits--peaches, cherries, strawberries, as well as butter pecan. (B.C. was hands-down fave!—toasted the chopped nuts in the oven first, with melted butter, a little sugar, and a sprinkling of kosher salt. In the custard, used dark brown sugar, maple syrup and Jack Daniels for flavoring—yummilicious!) Finally decided to stick with the cooked custard approach, adding a small amount of vanilla bean instant pudding powder, say 1-2 TB, to the cooled custard just prior to freezing. (I feel uneasy about using raw, uncooked eggs.) Have had excellent results using a Thermapen to measure the temp, whisking constantly while cooking in a heavy pot. It doesn’t take long to come to temp and thicken, but does need to be cooled prior to freezing, so if in a hurry you may prefer the easy-no-eggs-instant pudding type of recipe, readily available online.
Not one batch so far has been a “failure”—in fact, they’re all so good that we’ve become addicted and eat ice cream three times a day. It should come with a warning label! We prefer a rich version, with a combination of heavy cream, evaporated milk, condensed milk and regular milk for a vanilla base resulting in that “from my childhood” taste. It can be modified with add-ins as you please. Be sure to write down what you do as you go, in case tweaking is needed next time or in case you pronounce the latest batch a sure winner. Have plenty of tasting spoons at the ready while churning, and several rubber spatulas will come in handy.
As many have noted, it’s key to have the canister frozen rock-solid prior to churning. We keep it in the freezer between uses and even put the plastic shell (aka “lid”) in there while prepping the custard. There’s no actual lid as you might imagine. I wring out a wet dish towel and lay it on top across the open hole, and put some ice cubes atop that to help insulate. May not be necessary, but every bit helps.
So far the “21” has worked great and we make a batch every other day. The most challenging part is transferring the just-frozen custard to a storage container for additional hardening. Take out the paddle first and scrape it off (another opportunity for tasting). The filled canister is heavy and to hold it with one hand while scraping out the soft ice cream is a bit unwieldy. A very firm plastic spatula works best (rather than a flexible one) to get all the ice cream out. Never use metal, anywhere, anytime! Wash and dry the canister when empty and return to your freezer pronto. You WILL want more ice cream soon and it’ll be ready to go, so keep a spot empty for it. It’ll be worth it. (I scream for green beans? Not so much….)
Some have complained about the freezer not working for long, but being a new owner, I can’t say.. It seems like if you treat the parts gently it would last “forever,” but maybe that’s just like the honeymoon phase with a new lover. Time will tell but we’re very happy for now—even obsessed.
Be cautious of OVER-filling the container which can cause an overflow mess since the mixture expands while freezing. Err on being conservative with the amount of custard mix. I use 2 eggs per 3 to 3-1/2 cups of liquid per batch and add the mixings the last few minutes to help ensure they don’t add too much volume. Keep an eye on it from time to time during the freezing process to make sure it isn’t about to overflow. You can always remove some of the mixture if it seems necessary. In the case of the toasted buttered pecans, I folded most of them into the mixture AFTER pouring it into the storage container because instructions say not to add anything larger than a chocolate chip, and I wanted some to be larger chunks. This delayed-addition technique works well for other fixings, too. On one hand, adding pureed fruits at the outset is good, for overall flavor intensity, but adding extra cut-up fruit later may be to your liking. Be aware that too-large chunks will likely get icy in the long run and be hard to scoop up, so there’s a fine line.
The other “misteake” was making a double portion of custard in order to have back-to-back batches of half vanilla, intending to make another flavor with the remaining half of the mixture. Apparently the second half of the custard wasn’t chilled enough to overcome the freezing canister having gotten warmer on the first run. Although most batches froze in 15 to 30 minutes max, after a longer time it was obvious this batch refused to set up, so I returned the chilled custard in a bowl in the refrigerator, returned the canister to the freezer and decided to try again later. About five hours worked. Lesson learned—be patient. OK to double the batch, but chill it all thoroughly prior to churning.
If pondering whether to get a countertop ice cream freezer, go for it. It’s fun and easy to use. You’ll be a proud as a brand-new parent after you make the first batch.
This machine has 4 basic parts:
1. The motorized base
2. Aerating Paddle
3. Freezer Bowl
4. Clear Locking Lid
The Freezer Bowl sits securely on the motorized base by corresponding grooves to match the "gear" in the base that rotates the freezer bowl. The paddle sits comfortably in the freezer bowl and the transparent lid locks into the base over all of the other parts.
Making ice cream is pretty simple in concept, when ice cream mixture is poured into the chilled freezer bowl, the lid locks the paddle in place churning the ice cream, as the bowl is rotated around the stationary paddle. The wide opening at the top makes it easy to add ingredients like chips or nuts which should happen 5 or so minutes before dessert completion. The machine is operated with a simple on-off switch located on the front of the base. Depending on the volume of your ice cream or frozen dessert, this machine will churn ice-cream to a soft-serve consistency within 20-25 minutes. If hard ice-cream is desired, it needs to be stored in an air-tight and freezer safe container for a minimum of two hours.
Pros:
This machine saves a lot of energy and effort out of making homemade ice-cream. It does its job very well at making beautiful creamy desserts. All parts are easy to clean, fit well together, and seem to be made of good quality materials. All parts that touch the food are listed by Conair as BPA-free. No ice or rock salt needed. Machine seems pretty safe to make together with children, although I would keep them supervised. Since the paddle doesn't move but the bowl does, it would be hard to pinch any fingers or have accidents through normal use such as adding ingredients.
***A BIG pro for me: This machine has a 3-Year Limited Warranty that guarantees your device will be free of any defects. Register the device at www.cuisinart.com but make sure you keep a RECORD OF DATE AND PROOF OF PURCHASE!!!! If not, the company will consider the date of manufacture, the proof of purchase date. Which is a big problem if the product was made well before purchase. ***
Cons:
Freezer bowl can take anywhere from 16-24 hours to fully freeze depending on the temperature of your freezer. So making ice-cream will require some pre-meditation unless you keep the freezer bowl in the fridge 24/7; which in my freezer, is very valuable realty space. As other reviews have mentioned, this little device can be noisy, more so as the liquid mixture becomes more solid. It's not a deal breaker for me as the noise isn't bad enough to disrupt my normal television volume in the next room.
Some Helpful Tips:
1. Don't clean your freezer bowl with any abrasive cleaners or sharp objects. After use, I find it easiest to allow the bowl to defrost and for the hard ice cream stuck to the walls to melt. Cleaning is a breeze with some warm soapy water.
2. Do not put your freezer bowl in the freezer wet, make sure it is dry.
3. Avoid putting the freezer bowl with your fresh ice-cream back in the freezer. It will stick to the bowl and getting the ice-cream out may damage it, store in an airtight and freezer safe container.
4. Make sure your ice-cream mixture is well-chilled before you try to churn it. To avoid this issue I like to make the mixture the day before when I put the freezer bowl in the freezer. The next day, I take the mixture out of the fridge, dump it in the freezer bowl, turn the machine on and have soft-serve 20 minutes later.
5. This machine will only be able to produce soft-serve ice-cream. If you want hard ice-cream you must cure in the freezer for about 2 hours in an airtight container.
6. Keep an eye on the recipe quantity that whatever you are making will produce. Keep it under 1.5 quarts.
I hope this review helps with your decision!
