Automatic Control Panel

This home ice cream maker combines and chills all your ingredients together. Remember you have to prepare the freezer bowl and chill it for 12 to 24 hours before starting the process. Make sure you place all the parts perfectly before you add your mixture. Cover the mixture to allow the mixing arm to start working smoothly.

The machine comes with a timer allowing you to initiate a countdown with enough time. The machine has a buzzing noise as it works, but is nothing too noisy. You can still make your ice cream in the middle of the night without waking the whole household with loud whooshing sounds. After the time is up, your Cuisinart ICE 70 will beep alerting you that your frozen treat is ready for the freezer.

You don’t have to keep checking the process since the machine automatically stops as soon as your frozen treats are ready. If you don’t want to get frozen butter, be sure to stop the mixing arm halfway through and let the machine complete the rest of the process.

Always make sure your mixture isn’t too thick while pouring into the freezing bowl. The machine is designed to stop automatically if the mixture gets too thick. You can avoid that by diluting the mixture with some water and keep checking the progress for better results.

Design

Cuisinart ice cream comes in a sleek chrome finish that blends in perfectly with modern kitchen appliances. It’s a little bulky, longer vertically, but has a small footprint. You’ll need higher shelves to accommodate the machine but sitting on the countertop is also a good option. It’s not that heavy so you won’t have an issue storing it on a high shelf.

The freezer bowl is the heaviest part and takes up a lot of space in the freezer. You’ll need to get rid of a few things to create room for it. The freezer bowl also requires you to place it in the freezer for 12 to 24 hours before use. The coverlid is completely transparent allowing you to peek at how your mixture is fairing.

This Cuisinart ice cream maker comes with detachable inner parts that make it easy to clean after use. This is important especially since dairy products are sensitive and require proper hygiene. Furthermore, you can avoid funky smells that may interfere with the flavors.

All inner parts are dishwasher safe and also fine for hand-washing. Make sure all parts are dried properly before packing to avoid mold and condensation. Generally, the machine is designed for convenience, efficiency, and great results.

Smart Modes

The Cuisinart ICE 70 comes with buttons and timers that are simple to operate. It has a start or pause button, 2 modes for making sorbet, ice cream, and gelato. The timer comes with up and down arrows allowing you to increase or reduce minutes to your preference. That way, you can set the right time for each frozen treat and go about your business. After the mixture’s done, the loud beep will alert you even if you’re in the next room.

Warranty

Cuisinart offers you a 3-year warranty that gives you the confidence to use this model. Unfortunately, parts aren’t sold separately and you may have to pay for shipping if you need any repairs. Their customer care is great and you’ll get help within a short time. You can opt for an extended warranty to cover the shipping cost and accidental damage.
