Disappointing ice cream maker

Advantages: It has a nice recipe booklet included
Disadvantages: It doesn't make ice cream properly

With the weather being so hot a few weeks ago, what could be nicer than home made ice cream? I have made ice cream in the past, its quite a long process-you have to heat the cream slowly, then add some ingredients then let the mixture cool before adding ...

Awful Magimix 1.5ltr ice cream maker -

Advantages: There are none
Disadvantages: Lots of them

What an absolutely terrible machine. Complete and utter waste of money. I will tell you why? I am a keen cook and my family love icecream. With the cost of the 'speciality' ice creams rather expensive I thought I would invest in an ice cream maker. ...

An useful little machine

Advantages: Simple to use
Disadvantages: A little fiddly to use

This is a basic, small ice-cream maker, suitable for quickly making ice-cream for up to six people (depending on appetite). The bowl has a sealed section containing refrigerant. Keep this in the freezer so that the ice-cream maker is ready for use at ...
