Cuisinart. I SUCK :( HELP PLZ!  Evilbanana11 Aug 11, 2008 09:36
AM  Bought a Cuisinart Ice-30 and David Lebowitz's Perfect scoop
last weekend. This is an ice cream maker where you have to pre-
freeze the bowl hours in advance. Excited about the possibility
of fresh decadent ice cream I got to work.  1rst try: Vietnamese
coffe ice cream. Followed the recipe to a T. Pre-froze my bowl
the recommended time(maybe started a little sooner). Churned for
the maximum amount of time they suggested. RESULT = SOUPY LIQUID
MUSH ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH. Threw it in the freezer, became solid but
had so many ice crystals in it, it was mroe like granita
sigh....  2nd try: Strawberry frozen yogurt. Followed recipe
again. Froze the bowl even longer again even though I could
still faintly hear water swish-swashing. Churned for like 15
minutes more than in the instructions. RESULT = SOUPY MESS ONCE
AGAIN. Froze it, and it became hard granita(delicious but not
what i wanted) WTF..
