Can you make regular ice cream in this. What size is it. How much does it make
159708
Yes, to regular ice cream. Takes 20-30 minutes. Makes about 1 quart or 1 liter. The finished product is like soft serve ice cream.

No, because the paddle that comes with this machine only makes gelato. Gelato and ice cream are different. Ice cream is a churned frozen dessert that has an overrun of 25%-50%(this means that if you add 1 qt of base into an ice cream machine, approximately 1.5 qts will come out). Gelato has an ideal overrun of 10%, which means 1 qt gelato base is going to be 1 qt and about half a cup gelato. The difference in ice cream and gelato is not necessarily ratios vs fats...it's about how much air is whipped/churned into the final product. The paddle for this machine is a gelato paddle.

Gelato and ice cream both use milk cream sugar eggs if you want a custard base so I don't see any difference between gelato and ice cream. I'm diabetic so I like to make my own ice cream so I can use the artificial sugar and also use the sugar free pudding mix with cream or half and half and whip that up for ice cream for my self. It is a soft mix when done so if you want it hard you will have to freeze it when its finished. It only holds a maximum of 2 3/4 cups of mixture at a time. Hope this is of help.

Yes! I've only made ice cream with my machine. I have yet to make Gelato. I looked up ice cream recipes online and made Ice cream. It worked perfect. The unit isn't huge but it's heavy. I'm not sure exactly how much Ice cream it makes, but I would guess 1 to 1 1/2 quarts.

It would likely take quite some time to turn around that many batches. The consistency of your ingredients will determine just how long it will take for your recipe to freeze up. Each full batch produces about 4-5 cups of ice cream, which will likely require an average of 45 minutes of freeze time. Over time, I'm not sure how well the machine performs at high volume use. I only use mine to run 3-4 batches a week at most.

Sorry I can not help, ice cream maker was A total flop, if you haven't already I would highly recommend not wasting your money on this.

I mix it in with whole milk - one scoop per sippy cup. It ends up having the consistency of melted ice cream.

From my point of view, it is more work than it's worth. All of my recipes are for 4 or 6 quart machines, so none will work with this unit. Purchased mixes don't taste as good to me as my homemade from scratch ones. No ice, no salt is true, but you have to freeze the insulated mixing bowl for a minimum of 12 hours before using it. 24 hours works better, and then refreeze the contents you don't use right away, in the bowl, so you can dispense them using the machine again. Plus, it's mostly plastic. If you drop it, it breaks and needs to be replaced. My opinion, stay with a 4 or 6 quart electric machine that lasts and produces more ice cream.

I don't think so, it has a specific indent on the bottom that holds it in the machine that spins it. I suppose you could use a mixer to turn the ice cream, but it would take a very long time and wouldn't mix slowly enough. Worth it to get the whole thing, it's only like $75 and includes the freezer bowl. Put the stuff in, set it and forget it!

Why would you want to add anything bigger than a chocolate chip anyway? The motor probably will not burn out, but it could affect the freezing of the ice cream/sorbet process.

The pail is aluminum, and freezes the ice cream fast. The length of time the mixture is in the pail is really not enough for me to worry about. We bought this so we can make our own without all the additives and make coconut milk ice cream as well. It makes great quality ice cream.

Yes, and I have made a lot of great ice cream. However, I have had to do it manually; with the crank. The motor broke after about five uses.

It makes Mini donuts. By looking at it you would think large, but when I received it, they were mini and no where did it say that. You can purchase a mini one much cheaper then this.

Yes you can make ice cream with it, I had no problem making ice cream with mine, but you have to remember that you need to put a bit of liquid as well. You can watch some you tube videos about making ice cream with a blender. Thank you

It doesn't "make" anything, but it's supposed to make roughly 6-7 tablespoons. We ended up witha tiny amount of ice cream SOUP, even after several attempts. Don't waste your money.

I'm don't think so. It's advertised as being powerful, but I'm not sure it's up to commercial grade. You have put the ice cream in in smaller portions for it to work best.

You don't have to make 6qt. in 6qt. freezer. If you want 4qt. make 4qt..Try making 6qt. in a 4qt.. With the answers to these questions I have to wonder if you people ever used a freezer.You can keep the ice cream that's you don't eat in your reg. freezer

I gave it 2 my mom 4 xmas, but I asked her. She said it would wor for dough but it would make large cookies. She measured about how much she gets when used 4 ice cream & it makes about a 1/4 cup.

I only use it to make English mince pies. I don't think it would make a good ice cream topping. Too sweet!
