The Want Not Review (and giveaway): Cuisinart ICE-30BC ice cream maker

By Mir

March 14, 2011

Today I am thrilled to bring you a review of the Cuisinart ICE-30BC 2-Qt Automatic Frozen Yogurt, Sorbet, and Ice Cream Maker courtesy of Abe’s of Maine and Savings.com. As a Savings.com DealPro I was offered the opportunity to both receive an ice cream maker for my own use and to offer one to all of you as a giveaway. Per FTC Guidelines, I always disclose when I’m reviewing product I received for free, but per Mir guidelines, I will never share anything other than my honest opinion and experiences with said product. Pinky swear. And if you read to the end, there’s a chance for you to win one!

Some people look a gift horse in the mouth. Me, I try to give the gift horse back. When I was offered the chance to get my hands on two of these ice cream makers, I said, “Oh, but I already have an ice cream maker. I just want one to give away.” See, I already own the Cuisinart ICE-20, an earlier and less fancy version of this machine. But The Powers That Be insisted that they wanted my opinion on this machine, so I agreed to test it out anyway, even though I thought it was sort of dumb because I already love the machine I have.

Well. Let’s just say I’m glad they insisted.

First, let me tell you about what’s the same between the ICE-20 and the ICE-30BC. Both machines feature a removable chill bowl that gets placed in the freezer overnight or—if you’re like us—just lives in the freezer so that you can just declare it a good time for ice cream whenever and pull it out and use it immediately. I think most modern electric ice cream makers have a chill bowl like that, now, but if you’re still using something that requires you to add ice and salt, consider upgrading, because it makes everything very easy.

Another nice feature of the Cuisinart machines is that the dasher (that’s the paddle-thingie) is absolutely fool-proof. I tell you this because I used to own a Krups ice cream maker in which I—not tooting my own horn, here, just saying that I hold a post-graduate degree from a pretty fine institution of learning, and therefore I don’t really consider myself a fool—regularly managed to misalign the dasher. Don’t ask me how I did it, but I had a lot of trouble getting it placed correctly so that it would work. In both Cuisinart machines I’ve tried the design is the same, and that design is “the dasher cannot be placed into the bowl incorrectly.” I mean, I guess you could put it in upside down, but short of that, it’s fool-proof.

And finally, both machines are powerful (my sensory-sensitive son is not a fan of the steady growl of the motor as it churns) and have a nice big opening at the top through which to pour ingredients. They’re both very user-friendly.

Now. What does the ICE-30BC offer that my old maker doesn’t? I set out to find out, and even though I generally consider the Ben & Jerry’s Cookbook my “ice cream bible,” I had a hankering to try something else. I’m kind of on a ginger kick, so I decided to try this ginger ice cream recipe. It had a lot of steps, and involved things like tempering eggs, so it means I really love ~~ginger~~ you that I decided to try it. Ahem.

I set up the new machine on my counter and yes, I’m shallow, but the brushed chrome and squared-off design just look a lot prettier than my old white machine. (It goes with my blender and my mixer! Shiny!) Also, the ICE-30BC has a little self-storage well you can tuck the cord up into when the machine isn’t in use, and while I’m certainly not going to base a purchase decision on a tiny little detail like that, it’s just a nice thing to have, particularly if you (like me) have a giant cabinet where the small electrics live and you don’t want to be detangling cords every time you get one out.

Also, the new machine is mostly metal, with the bowl sitting down inside of it and a plastic lid on top, whereas with the ICE-20, the bowl basically sits on a base and is completely encapsulated with a large plastic cylindrical dome. To Cuisinart’s credit, even in my messy cabinet, the cover never ended up cracked, but I always kind of worried about it. The ICE-30BC just feels sturdier and there’s less plastic to worry about.

So how did my ice cream come out? Just like my other machine, the new one made creamy ice cream in under half an hour. Yum. And as I sat there waiting for it (and maybe sneaking a taste or two while it churned; I am admitting to nothing) and reading the product manuals, I realized I’d made the wrong ice cream. See, the Cuisinart ICE-20 has only a 1.5 quart capacity. The ICE-30BC can hold 2 quarts. For my ginger ice cream—less that a quart yield—it didn’t matter. But most of the recipes in the Ben & Jerry’s cookbook yield 1.5 quarts. Which means that if someone decided that hey, Cherry Garcia would be even better with more cherries, you end up with a Cherry Garciasplosion as your faithful ice cream maker churns it up and out of the machine. (Uh, not that I’ve ever done that, of course….)

Also, I just realized I have no pictures for you. Possibly because I was making ice cream while folding laundry and playing with the dog. I mean, not all at once, but inbetween each ice cream step I folded some stuff, threw the ball, etc. Sorry about that.

Bottom line: I doubt I would’ve upgraded on my own, given that my old machine works fine, but I’m pleased as punch with my pretty replacement, particularly because it has a larger capacity. If you were looking for an ice cream maker, you could do a lot worse than the Cuisinart ICE-30BC, I’m thinking. It’s foolproof, it’s slick-looking, and it has a bigger bowl than most other models. Perfect.

Speaking of which… how would you like to win one? Abe’s of Maine is going to send a Cuisinart ICE-30BC to one lucky Want Not reader! Want to win it? Of course you do! First go review the contest rules and regulations, the come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, March 17th, 2011 for a chance to win. I’ll choose the lucky winner via random number generation and ability to name all 31 flavors. (Kidding about that last part. Please don’t. Especially seeing as how one of my kids is currently memorizing Pi to 100 places and I have to listen to that all day long….)

Ready? Go!

Corey on March 14, 2011 at 12:10 pm

Have always wanted an IC maker!
Jen on March 14, 2011 at 12:11 pm

I have two bottomless pits of boydom. The price of good, non-artifical ice cream is prohibitive. We NEED this…
Valarie on March 14, 2011 at 12:11 pm

ooooh, i’ve been eying these!
Nowheymama on March 14, 2011 at 12:13 pm

Dairy-free ice cream at home! Yes, please!

Deputy's Wife on March 14, 2011 at 12:13 pm

That would be so fun for this summer!
Katrina on March 14, 2011 at 12:13 pm

I broke my old one in a move and have been longing to be able to replace it! I’d love to try this guy out!
dallimomma on March 14, 2011 at 12:14 pm

We are huge fans of the mint chocolate chip at our house. This would make our lives complete!
Lenetta on March 14, 2011 at 12:14 pm

So I gave up sugar for Lent to try and break my addiction, but this would be awfully handy to make my own “healthier” (cough*cough) version – thanks for the chance!
Jen on March 14, 2011 at 12:17 pm

Making ice cream is one of my very favorite things! (So is ginger, mmmmm.) And thanks for the very thorough review.
Average Jane on March 14, 2011 at 12:18 pm

Me, me! I’ve wanted one of these ever since I had some homemade ice cream made with a similar model at some friends’ house.
Leandra on March 14, 2011 at 12:18 pm

Of course I want to win one. I’m probably the only person in the south who doesn’t own an ice-cream maker!
Chrissy on March 14, 2011 at 12:18 pm

I could REALLY use one of these!!
JessicaD on March 14, 2011 at 12:19 pm

I scream, you scream …. thanks! Jessica
carmie on March 14, 2011 at 12:19 pm

I have been daydreaming about cranberry sorbet for weeks now. All I can find is Haagen Dasz cran-BLUEBERRY sorbet and it’s not the same. I could make my own with this!
char on March 14, 2011 at 12:19 pm

hey pretty lady ! this would be a great thing to do in the summer with the kiddos !! =)
Kamma on March 14, 2011 at 12:20 pm

Monique on March 14, 2011 at 12:20 pm

Please!!!!! We’ve never ever had an ice-cream maker and definitely don’t have the money for one, but I would LOVE to have one!!!!
erika kar on March 14, 2011 at 12:21 pm

Reasons why I should win:
1. I never win (wah)
2. I heart ginger too!
3. My family hearts ice cream
4. I can make much healthier ice cream than can be purchased
5. I’m nice?
Susie on March 14, 2011 at 12:21 pm

Oh me! I lost my super dooper fancy ice cream machine in our flood and would love another one!
Shelley on March 14, 2011 at 12:21 pm

Oh yum! Ice cream makes me so happy!

I’ve always wanted one of these, but have let the cost & threat to
my hips keep me from purchasing one. But if I win one….well that’s
a whole other thing all together! Suck it, hips!
Tara on March 14, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Yummy! My 3 year old would love some ice cream!
EG on March 14, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Mm, that would look pretty with my mixer and food processor. Yes, shallow. I love ice cream. Deep.
Christine on March 14, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Yum! Sounds easy & fun!
chesney on March 14, 2011 at 12:23 pm

Ooh, we would love one! We can make low-carb sweet treats! You know, to go on top of Pi/Pie. 🙂
Melanie on March 14, 2011 at 12:23 pm

Yes, please
Jess on March 14, 2011 at 12:23 pm

oh, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this!! I’ve had the previous model on my amazon wishlist FOREVER and haven’t wanted to shell out for it. I’ll even take your old model if I don’t win the new one 😉
Petunia on March 14, 2011 at 12:23 pm

Oooo. Yummy. I’d love it. Thanks for the opportunity.
Dawn on March 14, 2011 at 12:24 pm

I would love this!
Ellen on March 14, 2011 at 12:24 pm

Wow! We have one of those ice cream balls, but it takes FOREVER and doesn’t freeze the ice cream very well, and doesn’t make much. My kiddos would love a real ice cream maker!
Caty on March 14, 2011 at 12:24 pm

I’ve been looking at these! In my family, it’s sacrilege to use anything that doesn’t require salt and ice but they’re used to me being the flaming liberal.
dee on March 14, 2011 at 12:24 pm

Yes! My badonkadonk would love this!
Sabrina D. on March 14, 2011 at 12:25 pm

I would LOVE this! We are big ice cream fans and my daughter has been begging forever for an ice cream maker!
Karla on March 14, 2011 at 12:25 pm

I LOVE ice cream, I have always wanted to make my own!
Maryanne on March 14, 2011 at 12:25 pm

jmjlander on March 14, 2011 at 12:25 pm

oooh, my kid would absolutely love this…as would my husband…
Erika on March 14, 2011 at 12:26 pm

Oh my gosh, I WANT THIS!!! I’ve been wanting an ice cream maker forever, but it’s one of those things that keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the to-buy list….
Cheyrl S. on March 14, 2011 at 12:26 pm

I’m an ice cream FREAK! Love the stuff. I could make my own coffee ice cream for me and vanilla for my daughter. And I live in Florida. It’s hot here, therefore, I need an ice cream maker!
Amanda on March 14, 2011 at 12:27 pm

Oh, man…I’ve always wanted an ice cream maker!! And a pretty stainless steel one would simply be lovely 🙂
Beth in Iowa on March 14, 2011 at 12:28 pm

True confessions from someone who loves ice cream and Want Not. I am a lurker. You have saved me lots of money and yet, I am not one to make a comment because I feel strange having nothing more to offer than, “Thanks and you’re pretty!” Correspondingly, I haven’t entered many contests because I harbor great guilt for not commenting except when I might win.

However, my fondness for ice cream (I even gave it up for Lent) far, far outweighs my guilt so please, Random Number Generator, pick me. Either way, I promise to comment more often. 🙂
Lou on March 14, 2011 at 12:28 pm

Love it!
aly on March 14, 2011 at 12:29 pm

that would be amazing!!! (So would that ben and jerry’s ice cream cookbook, hellllllooooo amazon!)
Helen on March 14, 2011 at 12:29 pm

Perfect for this summer! I’d love one!
Kellee on March 14, 2011 at 12:31 pm

My(I) kids would LOVE this!! We have a VERY old, almost antique, maker and well, it only gets used maybe once a yr(if that) as it is sooo time consuming!!
Karen on March 14, 2011 at 12:31 pm

Mmm! Ice cream. Thank you for loving us enough to take up the burden of trying the ginger ice cream! And for giving one away, your devotion to your readers knows no bounds!
JoAnne on March 14, 2011 at 12:31 pm

OMG! Me please! This pregnant woman would love to make ice cream everyday this summer!
Jessica on March 14, 2011 at 12:31 pm

With the multiple food allergies that my children have, we have to make our own ice cream. It would be wonderful to have this for some summer fun, this year. Oh, who am I kidding? I want it for every season and every meal!
Karen R on March 14, 2011 at 12:32 pm

I’m in.

I had a math teacher who got mad at the class one day and tested us on Pi out to the 50th decimal place the next day. Happy Pi day! DH is wearing his Pi shirt from Woot today.
Marcia on March 14, 2011 at 12:32 pm

What a great giveaway for Pi day! We have a great recipe for cinnamon ice cream that is just killer!
Sarah S on March 14, 2011 at 12:32 pm

Oh, I’ve been really wanting an ice cream maker! And this one sounds great.
Thorny on March 14, 2011 at 12:32 pm

OMG, my favorite ice cream flavors are always getting discontinued – being able to make my own would be AWESOME!
Dianna on March 14, 2011 at 12:32 pm

I have been thinking I would love to make healthy frozen treats for my grandchildren!
Mary on March 14, 2011 at 12:33 pm

I scream for ice cream!
Patricia on March 14, 2011 at 12:33 pm

I have been waiting and waiting to upgrade my old rock salt and ice model (if it’s not broke, yada yada yada) and promised myself I would finally do it this summer. Even if I don’t win, thanks for the review!
Lark on March 14, 2011 at 12:35 pm

I would LOVE this!
BB on March 14, 2011 at 12:35 pm

Pick me!
Rachel on March 14, 2011 at 12:36 pm

Sweet – we love ice cream and had a dinky little one with the cool freezer bowl feature but it was so tiny, we got rid of it, and are too cheap to replace it so how cool would it be to replace it by winning it – please pick me.
Lisa on March 14, 2011 at 12:36 pm

Always wanted an ice cream maker! And this sounds like a good one!
Beth on March 14, 2011 at 12:36 pm

Oh, it would be lovely to have an ice cream maker!

Wow, I would LOVE this! I just scored the ben and jerry’s cookbook for $3 at a consignment sale, and now a new ice cream maker would go perfect with it.
Nicole on March 14, 2011 at 12:39 pm

MomQueenBee on March 14, 2011 at 12:40 pm

Ice cream! We all scream!
Missy on March 14, 2011 at 12:40 pm

I’m already drooling just thinking about it!
Katie on March 14, 2011 at 12:40 pm

This would be great for the summer!
Amy L. on March 14, 2011 at 12:41 pm

I want one, I want one, I want one! Oh, please, oh, please, oh, please, you beautiful, pretty blog writer, you. We are ice cream-aholics around here, and I believe that one can find room for daily ice cream in their diet!
Faith on March 14, 2011 at 12:42 pm

We would LOVE this in our house! 🙂 Thanks!!!
Gloria on March 14, 2011 at 12:42 pm

icecream makes everything better- just like chocolate!
Thanks for offering this fabulous prize!
Mary Fran on March 14, 2011 at 12:45 pm

Oh, yes! Especially since I managed to break the soft serve ice cream maker that we were given several years ago. Would love this!
Michelle Smiles on March 14, 2011 at 12:45 pm

I love ice cream in a truly unhealthy way but LOVE! And I’ve never owned an ice cream maker. I really should, don’t you think?
Terry on March 14, 2011 at 12:47 pm

Love ice cream and Abe’s of Maine!
Niki on March 14, 2011 at 12:47 pm

I have never been able to justify the purchase of an ice cream maker, but if one conveniently fell into my lap…
Jaimie on March 14, 2011 at 12:48 pm

In this house, there is no such thing as too much ice cream! Wait, how have I made it this far in my life without an ice cream maker??? I so need this, even if my waistline doesn’t!
~e~ on March 14, 2011 at 12:48 pm

Have I mentioned lately how much I heart this site? And you? 😀

What a great giveaway!
Ruthie on March 14, 2011 at 12:48 pm

Oh, how I’d love to have one of these!
Mona on March 14, 2011 at 12:48 pm

With four kids in the house we eat a lot of ice cream here:) This would be awesome!
RebeccaL on March 14, 2011 at 12:49 pm

I would love to be able to make ice cream on demand!
Betty on March 14, 2011 at 12:49 pm

Very nice! I would love to have this!
Heathir on March 14, 2011 at 12:50 pm

We have a ball that we roll around to make ice cream. No, really. It is not fun after the first few seconds. We, therefore, do not make ice cream. We do eat a lot. An ice cream maker would be good.
Sara on March 14, 2011 at 12:51 pm

I would love an electric ice cream make to replace my old turn-the-crank model!
Crisanne on March 14, 2011 at 12:51 pm

I’d love to upgrade to this machine. We have the Krups one. It churns the ice cream as it should, but darn that paddle and lid combination!
Michelle on March 14, 2011 at 12:52 pm

The ability to make a slightly healthier ice cream on a weeknight? Yes, please!
Kayla on March 14, 2011 at 12:52 pm

We would LOVE this! Thanks!
traci on March 14, 2011 at 12:53 pm

My peanut-allergic son would love some homemade icecream!
Golden on March 14, 2011 at 12:53 pm

I’ve been very good. 🙂

We love to make homemade ice cream, this would be so cool!

HeidiM on March 14, 2011 at 12:56 pm

Ice cream might just be my favorite food…
Dorothy on March 14, 2011 at 12:56 pm

Curls on March 14, 2011 at 1:01 pm

I too am an owner of a Krups and a Bach. of Sceince degree, and have struggled with that paddle. Would LOVE that new machine!! And tonight I’m putting the chill bowl back in the freezer.
Swistle on March 14, 2011 at 1:01 pm

Indeed I DO want to win one. Maybe I will go buy some ingredients just in case.
Hollie on March 14, 2011 at 1:02 pm

I don’t have an ice cream maker, but now I feel like I should! Thanks for sharing! Crossing my fingers…
heidi on March 14, 2011 at 1:03 pm

Oh, I so want one. Do you know how much ice cream we go through with 4 boys?
Meghan on March 14, 2011 at 1:04 pm

Yes, please!
Kismet on March 14, 2011 at 1:04 pm

Please pick me.

~K!
Sophie on March 14, 2011 at 1:05 pm

I had an old salt and ice machine. I want this one!
Susan S. on March 14, 2011 at 1:06 pm

Ooh! What a great way to usher in Spring. Make your own ice cream! We would love this around our house…
Lisa O on March 14, 2011 at 1:07 pm

Mmmm, ice cream. My three girls will thank you (if they ever get any) 🙂
Linda on March 14, 2011 at 1:07 pm

Woo Hoo! I would love that, especially since we’re beginning to thaw out here in Maine!! Love ice cream anytime of the year though.
sara on March 14, 2011 at 1:11 pm

pregnant and need ice cream!!!
Bren on March 14, 2011 at 1:12 pm

Wooo! Ice cream for all!!!
Christina on March 14, 2011 at 1:12 pm

My family would love this!
ccr in MA on March 14, 2011 at 1:12 pm

Should I have an ice cream maker? No, it would be dangerous. Do I want one? Oh, YES I do.
Alison on March 14, 2011 at 1:12 pm

My daughter is allergic to peanuts, so homemade ice cream is the only way she gets safe flavors. She would love to have this around.
Em on March 14, 2011 at 1:13 pm

Shoot, I’ll take your old one! Or, you know, the new one depending on if I truly have the luck o’ the Irish (which only seems fair since I have the hips of the Irish, the non-tanning skin of the Irish, the stubborness of the Irish and and fondness for potatoes that borders on obsessive). I
Rebekah on March 14, 2011 at 1:14 pm

Swoon!! I don’t have an ice cream maker and I would love that!!
meisha on March 14, 2011 at 1:16 pm

ice cream! ice cream!
Kyallee on March 14, 2011 at 1:17 pm

Oh my… Feeding my ice cream addiction would be dangerous. But this would be healthier than the store-bought stuff I currently consume. And fresher. And tastier, so I’d eat more. Hmmm… I think I want one!

Thanks for the awesome review and for hosting another great giveaway!
Rachel on March 14, 2011 at 1:18 pm

I live in (hot, humid) Houston, TX where ice cream is a NECESSITY in the summer. Does that give me a sympathy vote to win?! 🙂
Jessica P on March 14, 2011 at 1:20 pm

I too have the older model – I would love to have this one!!
Elizabeth on March 14, 2011 at 1:21 pm

that sounds like a fabulous machine!

My four boys, who love ice-cream, wanted me to tell you how pretty you are, Mir.
Jen on March 14, 2011 at 1:22 pm

I’ve been borrowing my MIL’s ice cream maker for, ahem, like two years so if I won this I could give it back to her.
Allanna on March 14, 2011 at 1:22 pm

I keep yearning and longing for an ice cream maker.

And, have I mentioned today how pretty, lovely, intelligent, and amazing you are?
It’s not flattery because it’s TRUE.

heidi s. on March 14, 2011 at 1:33 pm

we have made lemongrass ice cream (really good!), and bacon ice cream (let’s say it was interesting). Think of what we could do if I won this!
DawnA on March 14, 2011 at 1:35 pm

I can only name the most basic flavors, but would like to have an ice cream maker. Maybe expand my knowledge!
laura on March 14, 2011 at 1:36 pm

omg YES.
Kemi on March 14, 2011 at 1:38 pm

I have no ice cream maker, so this would make me very happy! 🙂

(And? And? Seeing that I am 6 months pregnant, home-made ice cream would make a nice pairing with my garlic dills.) 😀
liz on March 14, 2011 at 1:39 pm

Oh, please! We don’t have an ice cream maker, and you are So Very Pretty.
Whitney on March 14, 2011 at 1:40 pm

TheresaO on March 14, 2011 at 1:45 pm

We eat ice cream every day here and I would love to have one of these machines! I think the kids would like making their own flavors too.
Linda on March 14, 2011 at 1:56 pm

I would love this ice cream maker. I’m thinking about all the flavor combinations I would like to try!
sarah on March 14, 2011 at 1:56 pm

Homemade ice cream is the best!! We would love one that you don’t have to shake, rattle and roll to make a measly pint (the ice cream ball– actually makes really good ice cream, but is a mess!)
melinda on March 14, 2011 at 1:59 pm

yes please!

Scott F on March 14, 2011 at 2:18 pm

Our ice cream maker broke and we need a new one! Maybe our number is up this time!!
Crystal on March 14, 2011 at 2:19 pm

I’d love one. My husband is a monster when it comes to ice cream. A bigger capacity means I might possibly get some once in a while. 🙂
Tafline on March 14, 2011 at 2:19 pm

I’ve never owned an ice-cream maker – clearly it’s time for the madness to end!
Rachel on March 14, 2011 at 2:20 pm

I can’t wait to try out my new Ben and Jerry’s book!
Michelle on March 14, 2011 at 2:21 pm

Sharon on March 14, 2011 at 2:34 pm

Love ice cream! Would like to try making ice cream with coconut milk!
Julie M. on March 14, 2011 at 2:35 pm

We loved our ice cream maker, but it was left behind in a cross-country move years ago. Replacing it would so, so rock!
Valerie on March 14, 2011 at 2:35 pm

“3.14159265…”

(Please give me an ice cream maker in spite of this joke.)
Kelli on March 14, 2011 at 2:37 pm

Paige on March 14, 2011 at 2:46 pm

Ooooh, yummy.
Jami on March 14, 2011 at 2:47 pm

Mmmmm. Not only does our current ice cream maker require salt and ice, it has a hand crank. Nostalgic, but kind of a pain!
Sarah on March 14, 2011 at 2:50 pm

Though my thighs might not think it is such a great idea, I would LOVE it!
Jennifer on March 14, 2011 at 2:52 pm

YUM!
Amie on March 14, 2011 at 2:52 pm

My kid would really, really LOVE this. Sadly, I cannot eat ice cream. 🙁
ste on March 14, 2011 at 2:56 pm

I needed this over the past 8.5 months as I crave ice cream constantly when I’m pregnant. Then again, maybe it’s a good thing I didn’t have one! Summer’s on its way and it would be so fun to make ice cream with my little girl.
meghann on March 14, 2011 at 2:57 pm

I’ll enter! We’re trying to push towards even more all-natural eating, and this machine would help us do that. So having it would be a step towards more healthy eating, right? Right.
MamaChristy on March 14, 2011 at 2:59 pm

This is fab. I mean, really FAB. The would make a long, hot Texas summer more bearable…
Betsy on March 14, 2011 at 3:00 pm

I scream for ice cream 🙂
Karen on March 14, 2011 at 3:01 pm

The last ice cream maker I had was wooden, with a hand crank. Would love to upgrade!

The kids would love if we had this!!
Brunette on March 14, 2011 at 3:05 pm

I’ve been longing for an ice cream maker to temper the hot Southern California summers!!!
Catherine on March 14, 2011 at 3:07 pm

I am wearing my Pi Day t-shirt. That should count for something, right? Other than evidence of my nerditude, I mean.
bogartg on March 14, 2011 at 3:09 pm

Awesome good stuff!
Lisa on March 14, 2011 at 3:10 pm

Patti on March 14, 2011 at 3:11 pm

This sounds so easy compared to my one encounter with the kind you add the ice to and than sit there and turn, turn, turn…………..lol.
Ani on March 14, 2011 at 3:12 pm

count us in.

BTW–the shirt-woot pi shirt is a big hit at school today, esp. since the math teacher requested parents send in pies. 🙂
Rosie on March 14, 2011 at 3:19 pm

My daughter is obsessed with ice cream, the eating of.
Annette on March 14, 2011 at 3:21 pm

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice creme:)
bridgid on March 14, 2011 at 3:26 pm

Would. Be. So. Awesome!!
Leslie on March 14, 2011 at 3:26 pm

A contest to scream for… I’ve been known to scream for ice cream, just ask my husband. So maybe if I had an ice cream maker… I might scream less… maybe not… who’s to know.
In other words… Pick me 🙂
Theresa on March 14, 2011 at 3:27 pm

Our family would love to win! Yummy!
Jennifer on March 14, 2011 at 3:56 pm

I still have the ice-and-salt type. This would greatly increase my homemade ice cream making. On second thought, that might not be such a good thing, as I don’t need my pants size increased. Ah, the heck with it. More Ice Cream!
kakaty on March 14, 2011 at 3:58 pm

my love of ice cream knows no bounds. I would love this!
Connor on March 14, 2011 at 3:59 pm

Jessica on March 14, 2011 at 4:06 pm

Yay for Pi Day! And ice cream! Oooh, ice cream with Pi day! Yay! (I may have had too much caffeine in the past little bit. Please excuse the exuberance.)

Can you believe that while I’ve celebrated Pi Day for many years now, I just today linked it with the fact that today is also my parents’ anniversary? I don’t know why those things never clicked in my mind, but my parents have a Pi anniversary.

Okay, ummmm…now for less caffeine during the day…
hankela on March 14, 2011 at 4:08 pm

We use our ice cream maker all the time in the summer and it would be SO nice to have a larger one!
Debra on March 14, 2011 at 4:15 pm

Boy would this be great! Maybe I can finally live down the day I left the ice cream maker on top of the toaster and warped the base.
Lauren on March 14, 2011 at 4:15 pm

I’ve had trouble with paddle placement in our Krups too.
Lelia in TN on March 14, 2011 at 4:19 pm

Wendy on March 14, 2011 at 5:18 pm

I haven’t had an ice cream maker since I was a kid and my family would occasionally bust it out on hot days. It required ice and salt and I had no idea there was another way. I’d love to be enlightened. 🙂
Tink on March 14, 2011 at 5:25 pm

Ice cream – YUM!

My plastic cover on my off brand maker *did* crack. I need this!

Mmm. Ice cream! Yum.
Sunski on March 14, 2011 at 7:43 pm

I feel guilty entering because, like you, I have the cheaper Cuisinart. But you make it sound so irresistable!
emily on March 14, 2011 at 7:53 pm

Ice cream is my favorite treat – and we don’t have an ice cream maker…fingers crossed!
Jennefer on March 14, 2011 at 8:08 pm

Elizabeth on March 14, 2011 at 9:37 pm

Love!! Count me in!
Katherine on March 14, 2011 at 9:38 pm

Holy popular contest, Batman!

I love ice cream soooo much, and adore the idea of being able to make my own at home with none of the stabilzers and crap that store bought ice cream has. Thanks, Mir!
Debbie on March 14, 2011 at 9:38 pm

Pie! I mean, ICE CREAM!

Thanks, Mir!
Daisy on March 14, 2011 at 9:41 pm

Wonderful! I have spring fever soooo badly that I keep thinking of making ice cream with fresh strawberries – in June. For now, I’ll stick to chocolate chips. Count me in!
Julie on March 14, 2011 at 9:52 pm

We have one of those ice cream balls, which can get kind of tiring…..this one looks way easier to deal with!
Katie on March 14, 2011 at 9:59 pm

I have the most awesome recipe for Double Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream!
jaime m on March 14, 2011 at 10:03 pm

jaime m on March 14, 2011 at 10:04 pm

Jaime on March 14, 2011 at 10:08 pm

i would love this!!!
Margaret on March 14, 2011 at 10:11 pm

it would be perfect for my family that was once all so healthy and now they want ice cream every night…………..go figure.
Melinda on March 14, 2011 at 10:15 pm

Thanks, Mir!
may on March 14, 2011 at 10:20 pm

Is your kid memorizing that for fun? Or does she have a terribly cruel and unusual teacher?
Susie on March 14, 2011 at 10:39 pm

Who has two thumbs and loves the sweet sweet taste of ice cream?!?!
Christie on March 14, 2011 at 10:44 pm

Yay! We love ice cream!
Heide on March 14, 2011 at 10:44 pm

Ginger ice cream? Yum!
Laura on March 14, 2011 at 10:46 pm

Hoorah for home made ice cream (I grew up with a hand-cranked wooden model).
Wendi on March 14, 2011 at 10:47 pm

Mmmmmmmm, ice cream.
Aimee on March 14, 2011 at 10:48 pm

This prize would be pure awesomeness!!
ADifferentLaura on March 14, 2011 at 10:49 pm

I want it!
Dw on March 14, 2011 at 10:54 pm

Mmmmmm ice cream. Just what my pregnant butt doesn’t need.

Happy Pi day Mir! 3.14159265358979….,

Thanks!
Heather on March 14, 2011 at 11:02 pm

I’d like to add that you can make awesome sorbets for anyone with milk intolerance–and of course that I would totally love to win this!
Mindy W on March 14, 2011 at 11:02 pm

I’m willing to win. But when the cousin’s come over, I’ll just hide this little baby away and let them earn their homemade ice cream; there’s plenty of arms to crank the thing. No need for the younger generation to lose their roots!
Lynne on March 14, 2011 at 11:10 pm

I have been wanting to get an ice cream maker for myself but just never could justify the bucks. What a wonderful present that would be for me as March 17 is MY Birthday!! I could say it was for the kids.. but we all know the truth.
Karate Mom on March 14, 2011 at 11:38 pm

Oooo, I would love this! LOVE IT!
Chakolate on March 14, 2011 at 11:38 pm

I’d like to try it, too. Now that I’m diabetic and making all my own food, I find I’m inexplicably drawn to ice cream makers. 🙂
Kyung on March 14, 2011 at 11:40 pm

I scream for ice cream!
Shannon on March 14, 2011 at 11:44 pm

Ooh, ice cream!
Kate on March 14, 2011 at 11:45 pm

Oh, I would love this!
Crista on March 14, 2011 at 11:54 pm

Me please! We’ve never had an ice cream maker.
Tiffany on March 14, 2011 at 11:55 pm

I scream, you scream we all scream for ice cream!!
Loey on March 15, 2011 at 12:03 am

Love homemade ice cream! 🙂
Kelly on March 15, 2011 at 12:12 am

Yum. My parents have one and the kids (big and small) love it. Thanks.
Kacy on March 15, 2011 at 12:25 am

who doesn’t love ice cream?
Kaedra on March 15, 2011 at 12:28 am

Ice cream is yummy. I hope the child memorizing Pi is wearing an awesome shirt!
Amy on March 15, 2011 at 12:33 am

Oh my gosh…what a GREAT giveaway! My 5-year-old was just asking me if we could learn how to make ice cream. If I don’t win, I think I am going to maybe buy one. Thanks for the really helpful review!
Rachel Floyd on March 15, 2011 at 12:35 am

Oh it would make a lovely birthday present for moi. =D
Valerie on March 15, 2011 at 2:04 am

My name is Valerie and I am an ice cream addict.
stacy on March 15, 2011 at 2:14 am

Oh, I really want to win this and give it to my husband for his birthday. Homemade icecream is his favorite thing in the world (besides me, i think.) so pick me!!!
Tracy on March 15, 2011 at 3:59 am

This looks awesome!!
Gretchen Floyd on March 15, 2011 at 6:24 am

Pretty, pretty please? 🙂
amanda on March 15, 2011 at 6:31 am

I have always wanted an ice cream maker but never spent the money because I figured I’d also probably gain 20 pounds if I had the ability to create ice cream at any moment.
Deena on March 15, 2011 at 6:35 am

Hope I win!
Stephanie on March 15, 2011 at 6:38 am

We would love to own an ice cream maker! Maybe 385 is my lucky number, this week. 🙂
Stacy on March 15, 2011 at 6:41 am

Ok, I know the RN generator probably won’t pick me being so far down the line, but goodness me I hope it does!
Sheri on March 15, 2011 at 6:41 am

We have an ancient old fashioned ice cream maker that takes forever. Its so easy and fun that we’ve used it exactly once in 16 years. We clearly NEED this! Thanks for the giveaway.
Liza on March 15, 2011 at 6:54 am

Delicious ice cream! Mmmmmm, please pick me random number generator!
Carmen on March 15, 2011 at 6:58 am

This has been on my wish list at Amazon for MONTHS.
Emily on March 15, 2011 at 7:14 am

This would be so much fun!!!
Debbie Williams on March 15, 2011 at 7:19 am

Oooooh, I so don’t need to be making ice cream at home since I’m trying to lose weight! Maybe I’ll make the sorbet or sherbert…yeah, right! 🙂
connieh30 on March 15, 2011 at 8:02 am

i LOVE (drip, drip) Ice cream!
Chandrea on March 15, 2011 at 8:28 am

Well, considering that we do still make our ice cream with the salt and ice and oh, the cranking, I’m thinking that this might be a fun way to make ice cream. Maybe not as fun as watching the hubbs try to crank the other machine in the middle of summer…but definitely easier for me 🙂
Gretchen on March 15, 2011 at 8:32 am

Mmmmm … ice cream …. made fresh at home …. yes, please! What fun!
Heather J on March 15, 2011 at 8:54 am

Pick me please!
firelady on March 15, 2011 at 8:58 am

I am so ready for summer and ice cream!
Brigitte on March 15, 2011 at 8:58 am

I only remember 5 places, 3.14159 . .

Mmmm, EVERYONE loves icecream!
maureen on March 15, 2011 at 8:58 am

Yes, please! I have always wanted one, but never bought one. I would happily clean out a space in the freezer for one. Thanks!
Cindy on March 15, 2011 at 9:05 am

I would love to have an ice cream maker!
Regina on March 15, 2011 at 9:12 am

Thanks Mir! Just in time for the warmer weather. Of course, ice cream is good anytime of year.
Andrea on March 15, 2011 at 9:15 am

Ooh – me wantey! Of course if I win, I’ll be making ice cream, which I am powerless to say no to. That may sabotage my eat better plan. But… me still wantey
Maria on March 15, 2011 at 9:17 am

Oh man… I really want this. I have been trying to justify an ice cream maker purchase for a while now. Would be fab to win one! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Jackie on March 15, 2011 at 9:28 am

Nothing can beat the taste of old-fashioned hand-cranked ice cream eaten on my Mam-maw’s porch in the summertime…except for perhaps this ice cream maker that doesn’t require sweating outside in 100-degree weather and then fighting the bees for your bowl of ice cream.
Sorry, Mam-maw, I do yearn for the good old days sometimes.
Tina on March 15, 2011 at 9:29 am

this would be awesome!
great review!
Heather Paddock on March 15, 2011 at 9:34 am

Whooo – that would rock my world!!! Thanks for the chance!
Elizabeth on March 15, 2011 at 9:34 am

This would be oh so fabulous. My family loves ice cream!
Murphy on March 15, 2011 at 9:45 am

My family would love this!
Grace on March 15, 2011 at 9:57 am

What fun! It would be awesome to make our own ice cream!!
Sarah G. on March 15, 2011 at 9:59 am

Yes please! We all love ice cream here and it would be wonderful to just make our own.
mkw on March 15, 2011 at 10:08 am

Wouldn’t this be a fun Father’s Day gift (yup. thinkin’ ahead)!
marianne on March 15, 2011 at 10:11 am

Yummm! Ice Cream!!
s on March 15, 2011 at 10:17 am

oh man, I would LOVE this as would my kiddos! and I won’t list all 32 flavors (is it 31 or 32?) but in my head I’m hearing Forrest Gump saying chocolate chip, gold medal ribbon, strawberry…and on and on.
Sue on March 15, 2011 at 10:39 am

This would be great to have my daughter is a ice cream nut.
Cristin on March 15, 2011 at 10:55 am

Although a traditional method would probably be better for my, ahem, jiggly upper arms, I would love this!
Emily on March 15, 2011 at 10:59 am

I’ve been wanting to try making more things like this from home- it’d be awesome to win!
kim on March 15, 2011 at 10:59 am

Wow, this sounds like a great product!
Ann from St. Peter MN on March 15, 2011 at 11:07 am

I’ve never made ice cream – but would love to try!
Jodi Ward on March 15, 2011 at 11:31 am

I just donated my ice cream maker because it was too much work. I would love to give this one a try!
Jules from A Little Bite of Life on March 15, 2011 at 11:45 am

I live in Arizona. Ice cream is practically a necessity for survival here, so I need this gorgeous beauty…plus I have a raging addiction to ice cream (as my thighs would attest to) so could make so many yummy flavors! Thank you for the opportunity to win this!
matt on March 15, 2011 at 11:46 am

I would love to win that. Good luck 2 me!
Laura on March 15, 2011 at 11:49 am

I never win anything, but I’ll try anyways…
Shanna Flaschka on March 15, 2011 at 11:54 am

I have three kids who MUST have ice cream after every dinner, no matter the weather, and this would be perfect!
Julie H. on March 15, 2011 at 11:55 am

I would love to give this a try. Having a family of 8 this would work out great and I won’t have to spend so much money on buying ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Liz Sweeney on March 15, 2011 at 12:01 pm

I MIGHT like to try this at home…:)!
Teresa on March 15, 2011 at 12:06 pm

Have big ice cream fans at my house, this would make their hearts happy!
Emily on March 15, 2011 at 12:44 pm

Homemade ice cream is the representation of everything that is whole and good. Cream, sugar, pure flavors. Yup, I want this!
Heidi on March 15, 2011 at 12:56 pm

I’m still using the $25 ice and salt version I bought at Big Lots… would LOVE to own this! (My last batch: buttered popcorn ice cream. AMAZING.)
Michelle on March 15, 2011 at 1:00 pm

I need an icecream maker–Thanks Mir!
Karen on March 15, 2011 at 1:48 pm

Yes, I am still using the ice & salt version, and would love to win one of these beauties! In Florida, it’s always ice cream time, so we’d get lots of use out of it.
Erin Hein on March 15, 2011 at 1:51 pm

My family would love this!
Leah on March 15, 2011 at 2:12 pm

We all scream for ice cream!
Candi on March 15, 2011 at 2:14 pm

Oh, pretty pretty please pick my number! I lost my ice cream maker in the last move and it was a lesser brand anyway. My son would be so loving this for summer!
Marci on March 15, 2011 at 2:48 pm

Perfect appliance for the lake house this summer!
Kristi S on March 15, 2011 at 2:51 pm

Looks so pretty….and homemade ice cream sound so good!
Mandy on March 15, 2011 at 2:54 pm

As a mom of a little one with dairy, egg and nut allergies, it would be great to make our own safe icecream!
Kim on March 15, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Mmmmm. That ginger ice cream sounds divine!
Cindy on March 15, 2011 at 3:31 pm

Courtney on March 15, 2011 at 9:15 pm

I scream, you scream!
Nicole on March 15, 2011 at 9:54 pm

Choosing my name won’t give you an ice cream headache – I swear!
Carolyn on March 15, 2011 at 10:12 pm

I would love to win this! Thanks!
neeta on March 15, 2011 at 10:23 pm

Want one for my ice cream loving kids.
Heidiho on March 15, 2011 at 11:14 pm

The ginger ice cream sounds delicious. I am a little addicted to the ginger Cats cookies from Trader Joes, and it is merely a side benefit that my children thing they are too spicy. “Oops. I forgot.”
Sarah on March 15, 2011 at 11:50 pm

I’d probably totally use this to create any frozen chocolate concoction imaginable. Life hasn’t been the same since Ben & Jerry’s removed Dublin Mudslide from my life.
ELena on March 16, 2011 at 12:21 am

I want! Would love to try making ginger ice cream…or lavendar-honey a la It’s Complicated.
Michelllr on March 16, 2011 at 12:26 am

This would total give me something yummy to do while waiting for my newly planted veggies to grow 😀
Beth TB on March 16, 2011 at 12:28 am

I scream for ice cream! This would be an awesome win!
Leila on March 16, 2011 at 12:30 am

I’ve been wanting one of these, so why not put a name down?
Blair on March 16, 2011 at 7:47 am

Ooh – I could finally make ice cream from almond milk & manage to keep my stomach and my tastebuds happy at the same time! Pick me, pretty please?
Wendy C on March 16, 2011 at 9:37 am

Oooh, I wanna make ice cream!
Laurie on March 16, 2011 at 10:21 am

Sounds great!! =)
Tory on March 16, 2011 at 11:03 am

Heather R. on March 16, 2011 at 4:21 pm

Oh to never have to nag hubby to go out & buy me ice cream ever again! The possibilities, and the flavor combinations I could make! Pick me oh pretty Mir, please?!
Erin M. on March 16, 2011 at 4:24 pm

I could use some ice cream right about now.
Shannon C on March 16, 2011 at 4:24 pm

This would make me the happiest girl in the world!! I super puffy â™¥ ice cream!!!!
Ruth on March 16, 2011 at 4:25 pm

I don’t know how I missed this the first time around, but I am oh so glad you posted a reminder, Mir! We could definitely get some good use out of this 🙂
Sara on March 16, 2011 at 4:27 pm

If I had one of these, my neighbors might like me. I might invite them over for ice cream. They’d stop criticizing me and my dog and my children and discover that there is more to life than keeping tabs on everything your neighbor does. They might discover that life is sweet and worth savoring over a bowl of delicious homemade ice cream.

Or, I could just make some for my family and we’d eat it in front of our nosy neighbors while making nummy noises and waving the spoons under their nosy noses.

I guess the only way to know is if the random number generator decides it’s my lucky day…
kim on March 16, 2011 at 4:31 pm

I scream. You scream. It’s because we’re moms.
Amy on March 16, 2011 at 4:44 pm

I need this for three reasons. 1) I’m getting tennis elbow from the hand crank one. 2) I’ve never needed ice cream more than I need it now. and 3)You’re pretty!
Elizabeth Tomihiro on March 16, 2011 at 4:45 pm

I want to win one we love Ice Cream here and our old maker is on it’s last churn!

Love your site…………..almost as much as ice cream…………….made at home!
Julie on March 16, 2011 at 5:31 pm

I just started making my own yogurt – I love to freeze it! and so would the kids.

Stacey on March 16, 2011 at 8:05 pm

This would be awesome – my 3 year old would be in heaven!
JoAnne on March 16, 2011 at 8:10 pm

So yummy! Me , please!
Sue on March 17, 2011 at 7:41 am
