Rating: - Great buy if you are going to make a lot of ice cream!
Cuisinart makes it easy for ice cream lovers by selling extra freezer bowls! Having an extra freezer bowl is extremely useful if you are making large quantities of ice cream or you plan on making different varieties. According to the instruction booklet it can take between six to twenty-two hours to freeze the bowl. We usually keep one bowl in the freezer all the time, then when making a batch of ice cream we replace it with the extra bowl. The freezer bowl doesn't take up much space and it's easy to clean! Fantastic Buy!

Rating: - Trust me - a half batch freezes better.
I love my Ice cream freezer but have found that a half batch freezes better. All the more reason to have the extra bowl. I freeze my ice cream in two separate runs. It's worth the time and money for the superior product with less overrun (air in the ice cream) and a smaller ice crystal (for a creamer product.) Why only 4 stars? Cuisinart makes a good freezer but not the best. It is however more than satisfactory for home use.

Rating: - Does the job when frozen properly
When frozen overnight, this bowl makes ice cream in about 30 minutes, and does it well. Then it cleans up very easily, and can go right back in the freezer for another round.

My main complaint with it is the faulty instructions. It does *not* take 6-22 hours to freeze properly, or until you shake it and can't hear liquid. I can't imagine any home freezer could get the bowl cold enough to make a batch of ice cream in less than 12 hours, if not more than that. I was very disappointed with my first attempt at ice cream making because of this instructional flaw.

However, now that I know how to properly use the bowl, I have had nothing but great ice cream to show for it! I've never broken one of my bowls, so I haven't had the cracking or leaking problems others have had (yet).
