Because ...Thanks for sharing your experience, Deva. Because the first thing I did post-disaster was research more expensive (and by more expensive, I mean vastly more expensive) machines. So good to know they can suffer from the same flaws.<br /><br />Lax, I chilled the custard for several hours, and the ice cream machine bowl had been in the freezer for days. It's a mystery. Next time, I'm going to try the simplest recipe from Cuisinart to see if it makes a difference. I hope I can figure out how to make this work because I had a whole slew of really cool ice cream ideas.Gena @ A Bluebonnet in Beantownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13612056865987770135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921892265876028039.post-39739392071040539672011-06-22T09:57:15.965-04:002011-06-22T09:57:15.965-04:00Oh dear - the color is definitely a bit tuna skewe...Oh dear - the color is definitely a bit tuna skewed. Glad to hear it tasted good anyway. Were both the bowl & the custard chilled before you started them in the machine? BFF makes the most wonderful ice cream with the cheapy machine she bought at the evil empire(Walmart,) but the trick with any ice cream machine is a super chilled bowl & a chilled custard to start.laxsupermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797787877548962742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921892265876028039.post-21488039534215014042011-06-22T07:08:24.384-04:002011-06-22T07:08:24.384-04:00well, if it is any consolation, i bought the $300 ...well, if it is any consolation, i bought the $300 cuisinart ice cream maker and it was such a waste of my money i returned it--one year later--to a store i didn't even buy it from and suffered no guilty conscience from it because it was just such a heaping waste of money! it only froze the bottom inch in the canister.<br /><br />i wish i could make homemade ice cream but i just make slushie/sludge.devahttp://www.sabjimatablog.comnoreply@blogger.com
