- You don’t have to hand crank this appliance, simply let it do all the work!
- You don’t have to prepare or dispose of rock salt and ice in order to freeze your ice cream.
- Quality Ice Cream: Double Insulated Freezer Bowl

- Creamy and smooth ice cream results when ingredients are quickly and evenly frozen.

The Cuisinart ICE 20 can be quickly and easily disassembled.

Standard
-
- Batch Size: 1.5 quarts
A 1.5 quart ice cream maker is the standard size for most ice cream makers designed for home use (makes ten 1/2 cup servings of ice cream).
-
- Lid: Transparent lid
A transparent lid helps you to see your ice cream while it is mixing in the machine.
- Determine whether you ice cream is done or needs to be mixed longer by looking through the see-through lid.
- Adding Mix-Ins: Spout for adding mix-ins
Most ice cream makers have a built-in way that you can add mix-ins while the ice cream maker is churning.
- When mix-ins are added when the ice cream has thickened and is mixing, it results in a better ice cream (texture and distribution of mix-ins).
- Ice Cream Making Time: Makes ice cream in approximately 25 minutes
Cons
-
- One Batch at a Time: Freezer Bowls
A freezer bowl can only produce one batch of ice cream at a time. The freezer bowl must be washed and refrozen before it will again be cold enough to produce another batch of ice cream.
- The freezer bowl must be frozen again before it can be used again.
- Freeze bowl Hours in Advance Freezer Bowls
You must plan ahead if you don’t store your freezer bowl in your freezer.
- If you store your freezer bowl in the freezer, you’ll use up freezer space.
- If you don’t store your freezer bowl in the freezer, you must remember to freeze the bowl before you need it.
The Cuisinart ICE 20 is an ice cream maker that gives you great value for your money. It is THE ice cream maker for families that want to make ice cream and don’t need all the fancy features.
