Product Information

litre bowl (it actually comes with two bowls, to feed whole families and keep real gelato aficionados constantly stuffing their faces), then add pre-mixed ingredients and let it get down to doing its thang. We tried the vanilla ice cream recipe supplied in the recipe book and it took 40 minutes to thicken, whereas some of the other recipes we tried took just 8-10 minutes and sorbet took 26 minutes.

There's a choice of sorbet, gelato, frozen yogurt and ice cream, with different firmness levels for each – 12 settings in all. Perfect for making multiple flavours for families with fussy eaters, health fans or those on a restricted diet, the extra bowl also means you can always have one in the freezer for frozen desserts in 20-30 minutes. The perfect example of a small appliance that really delivers yet costs as little as six or seven tubs of premium ice cream, this Ice Cream Maker is far more than a fair-weather kitchen friend. Even with no churn involved, the Ninja Creami makes ice cream with a perfect consistency and you just can't beat it.

All the parts except the inner bowls could be cleaned by hand straight away, with no crevices for ingredients to gather. If you’re happy to sacrifice high-tech features and get a bargain, there aren’t many better options. It could be time for ice cream makers to have their moment in the sun — well, not quite the sun, because that would melt the ice cream. Simply hit the pre-cool button (it has its own built-in freezer, like the Cuisinart) and wait ten minutes while the bowl reaches optimum operating temperature.

Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. All you need to do is pop the ice cream bowl into the freezer and prepare any fruits or ingredients you might want to add.The best deep fat fryers are not renowned for their health-giving properties but they produce delicious results. If you want the brilliance of Cuisinart but you can’t afford the premium model, try the Cuisinart Ice Cream Deluxe instead. Having a spout to aim for made pouring easier, while the lid minimised splashback from the rotating paddle. The paddle doesn't scrape right to the edges of the bowl too, so you end up with a hard thick layer of ice cream coating the sides and base which is hard to remove and once the ice cream is frozen the paddle gets stuck in it and is tricky to remove.
