Elite Gourmet 4Qt. Old Fashioned Electric Ice Cream Maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this a couple weeks ago had my doughts at first didnt know what to expect when trying it we had a fun time as a family enjoying eating icecream made at home. We can make it more heather then what you get out of store.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The machine is pretty straightforward and easy to use. You can cut the recipes in half as well. We split our full batch and made 2 different kinds of ice cream. You can also make sorbet, gelato and frozen yogurt. The one thing I do not like is the that the only way to turn it on and off is to plug it in or unplug it. I wish it had an on and off switch. You can tell when the ice cream is ready because the motor starts to work harder because it's getting thicker. It's nice because you can store the ice cream in the cylinder you make it in. Super easy to clean as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product! It's so simple and easy to use, and I love that the instructions have recipes for ice cream sherbet and Gelato. The instructions are clearly written and gives pictures/diagrams and once everything is ready you just plug it in to turn on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loves ice cream, so I knew this would be a great hit in our house. This is the first ice cream maker we have owned, so the first round was a little trial and error.. It comes with step by step instructions, and some different recipes for ice cream, sorbets, frozen yogurt, and gelatos. The ice cream maker was easy to use, and it works great. Our first round, I didn't have enough ingredients, so i just halfed it. Within an hour, we were eating some delicious French Vanilla Ice Cream. Clean up was quick, and easy. I love making our own, because we know exactly what ingredients are used. This will be used in our house for years to come!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am excited about the opportunity to make any type of ice cream that I can think of with my Elite Gourmet 4Qt. Old Fashioned Electric Ice Cream Maker. I've never tried to make ice cream before, but the first time gave me the smoothest mixed berry ice cream that my family has had. The ice, and rock salt combo makes you feel like you're at grandma's house enjoying the love through her cooking. I love that I can use natural ingredients, and be able to satisfy our sweet teeth!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my ice cream maker. The bucket needs to be filled with crushed ice and rocksalt and then you can use any one of the 27 recipes included in the handbook or any others recipes you might have. The ice cream machine is very easy to clean up and to use. I found the recipes that they provided super simple to make. My family absolutely loves trying the new recipes and our goal is to make each one at least once. My favorite one though includes peanut butter with yogurt! I have shared our homemade ice cream we made with my family and friends at a get together recently and they were all amazed at how wonderful the ice cream tasted and wanted to know where to get their own machine! You can't go wrong with getting this ice cream maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always wanted to make homemade ice cream but thought it would be too difficult to do then I saw this product and had to try it. I took it out of the box in separate parts. There is a outer metal bucket, plastic liner, blending spatula, freezing canister and the motor. This is easily assembled following the directions. Once it was put together I liked the look of it. It has a retro look to it and the light teal color adds a nice touch. There is also a recipe book that has delicious recipes for ice cream, sorbets, frozen yogurts and gelatos. Now after assembly it was time to make ice cream! Starting out I put the metal canister in the freezer for 3 hours while mixing the ingredients in a separate bowl to put in the fridge for 45 minutes. Once the canister was done I simply took the mixed ingredients and put them in the canister which I then put in the tub and surrounded it with ice. I then put the mixing spatula in and then put the motor on top. I plugged it in and it started mixing. It's that simple! 45 minutes later it was done. This was so easy to operate and you're not having to put any real effort into it. You just need time as majority of it is simply waiting. The clean up was quick and easy. Me and the kids had a great night enjoying our cookie dough ice cream. I'm making frozen yogurt next!

First time use: Ice cream turned out perfect and in 30 minutes. Great buy

I love how it looks and how it works. It's really quiet when it's running

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This ice cream maker is so much fun! The one I had as a child was hand crank so it being electric is a added bonus! The first treat I made in it was for girls night in. Ironically it wasn't ice cream, we made sorbet! It turned out so good and only took about 45 minutes from start to finish. We put the ingredients in before dinner and by the time we were ready for dessert this was done. I cannot wait to make ice cream in this for the kids once the summer hits. We will be using this for years to come. I love the idea of home made treats since you know what exactly is going into it.
