Cuisinart ICE 50BC Description
Pros
Ease of Use: Compressor Freezer
Ice cream makers with a compressor freezer are by far the easiest and most convenient to use. With a self-contained freezer, they are a truly fully-automatic machine. All you have to do is turn the appliance on and it will freeze your homemade ice cream with its freezing system.
You do not have to worry about planning ahead and remembering to pre-freeze your freezer bowl.
You do not have the inconvenience of finding a place in your freezer to freeze your freezer bowl.
Commercial Quality Ice Cream: Compressor Freezer
With its compressor freezer, the Cuisinart ICE 50BC is able to freeze your homemade ice cream at a consistent temperature. Ice cream makers that freeze ice cream without a compressor freezer don’t produce as smooth or as creamy ice cream.
Ice cream frozen at a consistently cold temperature is soft and creamy, having a texture similar to that of store-bought ice cream.
Continuous Batches: Compressor Freezer
Because this Cuisinart ice cream maker has a self-contained compressor freezer, it is able to make batch after batch of ice cream. Ice cream machines that have freezer bowls cannot make continuous batches of ice cream because the freezer bowl must be refrozen after each batch.
As soon as one batch of ice cream is completed, you can immediately make another batch of ice cream.
This allows you to make large quantities of ice cream at once or several different flavors of ice cream back-to-back.
Timer: Automatic 60 minute timer
Ease of Cleaning: Removable parts
With a removable bowl, ingredient spout, lid, and paddle, this ice cream maker is easy to clean after use. You do not have to try to clean the individual parts while they are stuck to each other.
Standard
Batch Size: 1.5 quarts
The average ice cream maker for home use makes 1.5 quarts of frozen treats. So a 1.5 quart ice cream maker is standard. 1.5 quarts of ice cream makes ten 1/2 cup servings of ice cream…but most people like to eat more than a half cup of ice cream!
Lid: Transparent lid
Most ice cream machines come with a transparent lid. This allows you to view your ice cream while it is churning.
By monitoring the ice cream, you can tell if your ice cream is ready early or whether it needs a little extra churning time, simply by looking through the lid.
Adding Mix-Ins: Spout for adding mix-ins
Most ice cream makers have a spout for adding mix-ins. Mix-ins are usually added to the ice cream mixture during the final minutes of churning. If the mix-ins were added earlier, they would all sink to the bottom.
The spout allows you to add mix-ins to your ice cream while the ice cream is churning, helping to produce a better textured ice cream with mix-ins distributed evenly throughout.
Ice Cream Making Time: Makes ice cream in approximately 30 minutes
Cons
Cost: Compressor Freezer
An ice cream maker with a compressor freezer produces the best ice cream and is the easiest and most convenient to use.
Because it has its own built-in compressor freezer, a compressor freezer ice cream maker is more expensive than other models.
Weight: 32 lbs
With its self contained compressor freezer, the Cuisinart ICE 50BC is a heavy machine.
Because of its weight, you’ll want to place this 32 lb ice cream maker in an easily accessible place.
The Cuisinart ICE 50BC is a quality machine that makes quality ice cream.
