by Sharon (Silver City, NM) 2 reviews We keep the cylinder in the deep freeze so that it's always ready to go. Ice cream is soft/ready after 15-20 minutes of cranking. Removing the cylinder from the housing can be difficult and requires removing the rim, which doesn't seem to be mentioned in the directions. We have made some wonderful coconut milk based, nondairy "ice cream," which is a real treat for those of us who are lactose intolerant.
by Leora (Brighton, MI) 2 reviews This Donvier ice cream maker is awesome. My father bought me and my sisters each one at least 15 years ago as a Christmas gift, as he had one of his own and enjoyed it very much. Ever since then, our family has enjoyed this maker consistently. It is a no-fuss ice cream maker, for sure. We just keep the inner freeze tub in the freezer all the time, so it's good and frozen when we're ready to use it. Easy to clean as well, and the recipes that come with the enclosed pamphlet are tried and true. I would have to say that this ice cream maker is a favorite in my family, and a special treat! Only downfalls: The tube doesn't hold a lot of ice cream, so if you are feeding more than 6 to 8 people, you will run out. Also, the ice cream will be soft unless you make it ahead of time, then take out the stirring mechanism (scrape sticking ice cream back into tube), and transfer the ice cream maker into the freezer. If you let it sit in the freezer for an hour or two, it will be firmer and perfect for serving. This maker is a MUST for fun entertainment! I buy it often as wedding gifts!
by Christine (Lansing, MI) 1 review This product works exactly as described. I am able to make ice cream in less than 20 min. It is the perfect size for 2 people and is very easy to use. My daughter loves cranking the handle and enjoying the finished product that we made together.
The product was purchased as a gift. I have had 2 Donvier ice cream makers for years and found them to be easy to use and perfect for family use. I think the best feature (after producing excellent ice cream) is that there is no mess. Just feeze the inner cylinder overnight; no need for ice or salt. It's ideal for kids. My gift is to my 9 yr old grandson who wants to compete for the best ice cream. .
by John (Philadelphia, PA) 1 review This a very nice product, but you do need to freeze the ice cream after you make it if you want it to be as hard as what you would buy in a store.
