For consistently smooth ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbet.
This ice cream base contains egg yolks, is high in fat and sugar, and is meant to have a high percentage of overrun so it’s light and easy to scoop from the freezer. We churned two quart-sized batches in each machine and measured the amount of overrun and the time it took to churn each batch, then evaluated the texture of each. The ice cream was tasted both immediately after churning, while at the soft-serve stage, and after ripening overnight in the freezer.
All of the frozen desserts churned in roughly the same amount of time as it took to spin the equivalent amount of American-style ice cream. There were significant differences in the frozen texture of these bases, however. In general, all the frozen bases tasted creamier just after churning than they did after ripening in the freezer overnight. Without as much fat, they had a lower percentage of overrun, resulting in something denser, harder, and icier than ice cream.
We found that these four winners were the easiest to operate, with wide openings for pouring in the base and toppings, clear buttons and interfaces, and an easy-to-clean design. We also took into account each model’s weight and footprint. This model has the fastest churn time, at an average of 20 minutes, resulting in a smooth-textured ice cream every time. The Cuisinart also has the highest overrun of all the models we tested, at about 30% for American-style ice cream bases. The asymmetrical style of the paddle promotes even folding and mixing of the ice cream base, leaving minimal un-scraped base frozen along the canister walls.
The bowl where the churning action happens has a wire handle, which allows you to lift it out for easily transferring the ice cream, and making cleanup a cinch. Once the bowl is emptied and washed out, you can immediately churn the next batch without delay—just be sure to thoroughly dry the sides, or the water can freeze the bowl to the unit.
Most bases take an average of 40 minutes to complete churning, but if you choose the 10-minute"Precool" option to chill down the machine before adding the base, that churning time can be cut in half . This unit also has a maximum capacity of one and a half quarts, but, once again, for high-overrun bases, it’s best to churn no more than a quart at a time.
