Is it cheaper to use an ice-cream maker than buying ready-made?
Not really, as you’ll be buying fresh ingredients – such as eggs and cream – and possibly exotic, expensive ingredients, like vanilla pods. But making ice cream at home is not about saving money, it’s about breaking free of the limited range of flavours that are commercially viable for the big manufacturers. Ditch mundane soft scoop and let your imagination run free.

How do I clean my Ice Cream Maker ?
All parts of the Ice Cream Maker should be cleaned in hot soapy water. No parts are dishwasher safe. The freezing bowl should be allowed to warm to room temperature before cleaning and should be dried thoroughly. Failure to dry this part properly could result in a film of ice once frozen which could stop the paddle turning.

Why does the lid of my ice-cream maker keep coming off?
The lid catch can make its way out of this L-shaped groove This is quite a common problem with designs where the paddle and motor assembly are part of the lid and attached to the freezing bowl with a bayonet action (like a bayonet light bulb, which you fit by sliding its prongs into an L-shaped housing). Ice cream gets stiffer as it freezes. If the paddle gets stuck, either in the stiff mix or on a chunky ingredient, the paddle reverses direction to free itself. ...

Why do my ingredients stick to the inside of my Ice Cream Maker bowl?
You must always start your machine before adding the ingredients to avoid this. Use the feed tube in the bowl cover to add the ingredients once the machine is running.

Ice cream made from raw ingredients should not be kept for over a week. But Ice cream tastes best fresh so do not make too far in advance ever.

How long should it take to make ice cream or sorbet in my Ice Cream Maker ?
It should only take about half an hour for your ice cream or sorbet to be done, but it could take up to 45 minutes. If the mix is still not the desired consistency after 45 minutes, then turn off the machine and scoop the mixture out of the bowl and place into a suitable container and put in the freezer until frozen to desired consistency.

The freezing solution seems to be leaking from the Ice Cream Maker bowl. What should I do?
You should discontinue use immediately. The freezing solution used is non toxic, but having a leak would impede the function of the attachment.

She drew her hands back from mine as I started to reach for the ice cream maker to explore it. I think she is tactilely defensive. What can I do about that?
This sounds more like a learned, self-protective response rather than tactile defensiveness even if there is a history of tactile defensiveness. Tell her, or proceed with the attitude of: "You are in charge. You just watch me. You don't have to touch it. You are in control. " Restore her hands on top of yours and proceed. Honor your promise. Do not deliberately remove yours from under hers, do not prompt or cajole her to feel it herself. When she is ready, she will decide to feel for herself. ...
