Cuisinart ICE-45P1 First Impressions
Yes, using it easy.
Made great chocolate ice cream the very first batch I tried. It doesn't have a built-in Compressor, a model that does will cost 5-10x the price. There are two main parts as far as what makes the ice cream. I used the ice cream starter packs from William Sonoma. When it's done in the ice cream maker it goes into the freezer. This is essential that the bowl be frozen through with no sloshing sound. It's very easy to use, to clean, and to store.

Cuisinart ICE-45P1 Final Thoughts
That's it!
Have I learned a lot about ice cream, you bet. The recipe in the owners manual for vanilla ice cream is HEAVEN. It works very well and easy to use and clean. I have used this 3 times in the first week and really love it. Definitely recommended for anyone who likes homemade ice cream! Im looking forward to making fruit gelatos, yogurt, slushies and sorbet. If you are in to making homemade ice cream, this machine has your name on it.
