hey everyone and welcome to another review by Jim's review room today we'll be looking at this ice cream maker from Cuisinart model IC e 30 BC found at your local Bed Bath & Beyond Macy's and other select retailers now I purchased mine for $89 at the time of this review and I've also done the same review on its little brother model IC e 21 that's priced $30 cheaper at $59 and you can click on this pop up video here or find it on my youtube channel at youtube.com/geekandsundry now last a long time the unit itself consists of more four main components you have the locking lid mixing arm freezing Bowl and the base which houses the motor as well so that's it and it's very simple the sprocket is a wide multi teeth design which in turns provides more even distribution of power when turning the freezing Bowl it's unlike a cheaper version of some ice cream makers where there's just a narrow metal spindle but what's great about all the Cuisinart ice cream makers in general is they don't require rock salt or ice as found into more traditional methods now some people like the nostalgia factor however with this machine the bowl is double insulated with liquid inside now you do have to freeze the bowl for at least eight hours or overnight and the freezing Bowl is what gives the mix eventually that ice cream texture and consistency the mixing arm and locking lid is plastic and clear acrylic respectively now none of the items per the owner's manual indicated they were dishwasher safe so hand wash everything and just wipe down the motor with a damp cloth as a tip in this review with a acrylic lid make sure when you hand wash the lid use a very soft sponge and nothing abrasive acrylic is very easily scratched up and I learned the hard way with some other items here as shown in the video now with this model the instruction booklet includes recipes to make ice cream sorbet frozen yogurt gelato in frozen drinks and it makes up to two quarts at a time and what I'll make today is butter pecan ice cream for my tests so this recipe calls for butter pecans milk sugar salt heavy cream and vanilla extract after toasting the pecans and butter and mixing the rest of the ingredients in a separate Bowl refrigerate for about an hour or two now when ready pour in the mix you've made into the freezing bowl then place it into the Cuisinart space now along with the mixing arm and clear locking lid you turn on the Cuisinart ice cream maker and just let it run now for the instruction it takes about 20 minutes or so for the ice cream to churn and thicken and 5 minutes before the mix is done just pour in the pecans at that time and that's basically it just poured in just let the Machine run it's very simple and what you have now is soft-serve ice cream if you want hearted ice cream and which is what I recommend you do have to place it in the freezer for several hours now regarding cleanup again none of the items are dishwasher safe after everything was done I hand washed everything with soap and warm water and there are only three main components that needed to be washed and all three were very easy to clean as claimed by the manufacturer and the most important part of this review and I'm sure you've been waiting is the taste test then in this video it's literally my first time tasting the ice cream from a homemade machine and I love ice cream and I'll tell you it came out very well indeed the consistency was like soft-serve ice cream and from this recipe very surprisingly tasted very good a homemade product then I'll mid once you freeze it and make it into heart ice cream it did taste a bit better in my opinion and the consistency was a bit more creamy and it melted in your mouth so right after making the ice cream after hardening the ice cream as well there's no ice crystals that were found and a texture was perfect in either way if he prefers soft-serve versus hard and ice cream either way use it was great so after making several batches and testing this product I have many positives for this machine so the unit did work you know pretty fast once you've placed in your mix again I only took about maybe 20 minutes for the mix to churn and to the become the finished product now during that time the Machine does calm and wine mild to moderately it's a little quieter than the smaller yet cheaper Cuisinart model but nonetheless it's still tolerable and I really like the fact of not using salt or ice and a unit in Guyana was very easy to clean up now in regards to flaws there's almost none to suggest but indicating wants is worth mention though now what I wanted was a removable lid on top to prevent any dust from falling into the ice cream while churning in addition it would have been nice to have a built-in timer for the machine to automatically shut off just in case if I forgot it left it now once the ice cream thicken the ice cream expands to a point where it reached the opening so I was afraid it may overflow or maybe even you know damaged the machine if as we became too thick and machine kind of struggled a little bit there again those two mentioning you're not detrimental and just more once than a flaw overall it's an excellent and fun machine to use and that's basically it for this review be sure to watch my other review and the other ice cream maker and it will help you to determine if it's worth worth it to save $30 and go with the smaller brother which is the Cuisinart ice EE 21 so I hope you enjoyed this review of the Cuisinart to court electric ice cream maker model IC e 30 BC and if you
