Product Information

At the end of the whole process it plays an ice cream van tune and, if pre selected, will go on keeping the contents chilled for up to three hours.

Next, I made lemon sorbet using the second bowl. This required some pre-prep: making a sugar syrup before adding fruit juice and whisking up an egg white. Since this resulted in a thinner liquid, pouring it into the running machine was splash-free. Let the bowl warm up (to room temperature) before cleaning it. Don’t immerse it in water but you can fill it up with warm water and washing up liquid to clean it. Don’t use anything abrasive to clean it or you’ll scrape it (the same goes for utensils, don’t use metal items to scoop the ice cream out). You can remove the paddle to wash it thoroughly and then clean the power unit with a damp cloth. Conclusion The liquid-filled 1.9-litre bowl requires pre-freezing for 15 hours and the mixture itself needs an 8-hour pre chill. The Heath Robinson-esque paddle attachment then mixes the results to a delightful consistency. The instruction booklet has 16 great recipes and some top tips from Heston Blumenthal, although it would be nice if the parts were dishwasher-friendly, and the ice cream isn’t the easiest to remove from the machine. The bowl could be bigger, too, while the machine itself is huge.Putting the ice cream maker together is straightforward, and it comes with a selection of recipes to get you started. We tried making strawberry ice cream and lemon sorbet and were happy with the results of both, though the sorbet required a little extra time in the freezer to firm up. If you have a maker without a built in freezer try and always keep the ice cream bowl in the freezer so that it is always ready. Better still, buy a spare one. TIP: Don’t throw away your egg whites – make a tasty meringue to go with your chocolate ice cream! Cleaning Your Ice Cream Maker READ NEXT: The best bread makers you can buy What are the pros and cons of each type of ice cream machine? For tasty ice cream, gelato, smoothie bowls and milkshakes in a flash, you can’t get much better than the Ninja Creami. This multi-functional ice cream maker flips the classic churning process on its head, by getting you to pre-freeze your mixture for 24 hours before churning. Once frozen, ice cream only takes two and a half minutes to churn, rather than the 25 to 30 minutes plus 24 hours pre-freeze time you’d expect from traditional style makers.

After 15 minutes, the mixture was slushy and partially frozen. I continued to run the machine until it had been churning for 30 minutes. After this time the sorbet was much firmer and smooth, but still soft enough to remove from the bowl in clumps, including from the sides and base. It froze well in the freezer, free of any ice crystals. The Smart Scoop automatically senses the firmness of the mixture and stops the process when ready. It also sounds an alarm midway when it's time to add extra ingredients like marshmallows, nuts and chocolate chips.

To be fair, even 'bad' ice cream is still pretty nice, and most problems can be alleviated, if not solved, by either freezing or defrosting what comes out of the device. Fortunately, some of their products you can still find today including; halogen ovens, ice cream makers, stand mixers, dehydrators, and coffee machines. Who is Andrew James? Better still, many ice cream makers allow you to do so much more than simply make ice cream. There are options to create ice drinks, frozen yoghurt, sorbet and more.
