Will this machine make half batches?

this machine is great, but t only makes 3-4 cups at a time. i suggest getting Ben & Jerry's ice cream book because their recipes are about this size. the French Vanilla is oui oui !!

I have never tried to make a half batch. I have made batches less than a full batch and it worked fine. Breville only wants you to use 3-1/2 cups of liquid so a full batch is only a little over a quart anyway. Most of the recipes in the gelato/ice cream books are just about right for this machine - about 3-1/2 cups of liquid. I suspect most of the machines on the market are about the same.

Yes it can, but you can't use a high hardness level as the dashers will freeze to the side of the can. You would have to make a gelato style, put the ice cream in a different container and freeze in your freezer. The manual says it will make 1.5 qts of ice cream, but when I remove it into freezer containers the finished product will fill a 2 qt container due to overrun

Yes. The batches are huge portions. A bit much for my little Yorkies. Better to make 1/2 batch at a time.

Yes, you can set up to amount you wish. U can set up batches of 100 should be easiest for total count. This machine doest'n give a total of amount.

No, I don't think it will. I do a few oz at a time and in 2 or 3 times, it gets a half lb ground.

Yes you can. Make the first batch with 1/2 gal. and the second batch with a full gal.

If it doesn't, it should. A friend bought one the same time I did. After around 10 batches, both of our machines died. When it works, it works fine, but the machines don't seem to last. Bottom line, this machine appears to be a waste of money. We both dumped our machines.

I would think so. Haven't tried mincing except nuts and you would keep pulsing it until you get the texture you want. Love my bosch Universal Plus and the attachments. Just made an Ultimate chocolate chip cookie, oreo, brownie bars. Yum. What breeze with this machine.

I Love this machine but I also just fill it halfway and don't need that much milk and froth. I would just do that and do it again if you need more.

Yes, it needs to be mixed and yes, the ratio is 2-parts developer to 1-part toner. Make sure you pick the compatible toner. [check Goldwell's website for more info]

I am not sure. Hope they develope a greater varity of recipes for this machine. Good luck on the catsup.

I've made a few batches with it and have only made one-quart batches and they have been fine. I don't see why you couldn't do it with a half-quart batch, or smaller. I also haven't made a full batch (two quarts). Hopefully that was a little helpful.

We had used up to 6 gallon on the induction. If you have 15 gallons stuff, suggestion is dividing to 3 batches. You might figure out whether it is executable.

No you can't use half a bag. I use my bags twice before composting them though. Make 5 gallons; funnel the rest into old jugs, give to friends, or use to beautify your surrounding areas.

Yes I use my machine several times per day and it works great each time. I would use distilled water so that you don't have to descale often.

It will scale recipes to any batch size you want. It really is remarkable software.

Yes, you could easily brew two batches. I have used this stuff for years and it is wonderful in the veggie garden.

It will have no problem. You will have to make several batches though. This is not a big deal.
