The Cuisinart Supreme Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker
If your family L-O-V-E-S frozen vegan desserts, this is the tool to save hundreds of dollars this year! Bliss and Purely Decandent are vegan frozen desserts that cost about $5.49 for each pint container!!!! With the Cuisinart Supreme I can create 3 pints at a time for the price of one store bought container! In this economy, this is an excellent investment for creating your own favorite vegan frozen dessert!!!
The Cuisinart Supreme Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker, ICE-50BC, has a brushed stainless steel exterior with an embossed logo on the exterior's front panel. This commercial quality appliance will create up to 1-1/2 quarts of homemade vegan ice cream in less than an hour, with no waiting between batches.
Cuisinart created a built-in commercial-style compressor freezer, so prefreezing is not required. All I have to do is add my chilled ingredients to the bucket, set the 60-minute timer, and the machine takes care of the rest. A precise temperature control and paddle work together efficiently to ensure excellent results every time. A built-in timer automatically stops the machine when the ice cream had reached the perfect consistency.
A transparent lid provides easy access and viewing while the ice cream freezes. The lid has an ingredient spout that allows you to add goodies at the end of the freezing cycle or spoon out a taste without taking the lid off. The lid, paddle, and bowl are easy to remove and wash by hand.
The CONS
There are a few cons to the Cuisinart Supreme Ice Cream Maker that are annoying, but not a deal buster for me. The machine is noisy, but with a compressor that freezes, there's no way around the noise level unless it had a huge encasement for the insulating noise control. So don't expect this machine to be quiet. Also the unit is heavy, so you'll want to place it in a spot where you don't have to lift it constantly.

Instructions
An instruction and recipe booklet is included with the Cuisinart Supreme Ice Cream Maker, but don't expect it to have vegan recipes. Also the instructions are not very good. Their idea of filling the bucket while it is in the machine is not good... I put my ingredients in the bucket and refrigerate it overnight and then add the paddle, lid and arm.

I think this manual provides better instructions on the assembly and is easier to read.
Paddle Won't Turn
If the paddle and lid are not attached to the arm properly, the motor will NOT turn the paddle. Also the machine will stop if the frozen mixture is too stiff, thus preventing the motor from overheating!
Pre-Chill Ingredients
Always pre-chill you vegan ice cream base overnight for the best flavor. It also speeds up the freezing process.
No Metal Objects
Remember to NOT use any metal spoons or objects to scoop the frozen contents out of the bucket. Metal will scratch the interior walls of the freezer bucket. I use silicone spatulas and plastic coated spoons to scoop the delicious contents into another container after the initial freezing.

Where To Purchase
You can purchase the Cuisinart Automatic Frozen Ice Cream Maker at Amazon and I recommend buying an extra freezer bowl so you can make double batches for larger parties.
Freezer Work Bowl
It is important to wash the freezer bowls with a mild detergent and warm water as soon as you unpack the box. Place the aluminum freezer bowls in the freezer... I keep one in the freezer at all times so it's ready at a moments desire for something sweet and frozen.

Powerful Motor
The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker has a powerful 500 watt motor base with an off and on switch. The freezer bowl sits on the motor base and the aerator blade stays stationary while the bowl twirls on the base. A clear plastic topper keeps the aerator upright and in place as the contents freeze.
It's quick to freeze ingredients, no watching necessary and clean-up is FAST! I can put my ingredients in it and have a great frozen summer dessert in 20 minutes. I love that it is very easy to clean. All you have to do is place the freezer bowl, mixing arm and lid in warm soapy water and give it a quick swish and then rinse. The base just needs a quick wipe with a damp cloth, stores away with the aerator blade and plastic top fitted together. The cord winds on the bottom of the base providing tidy storage. I put the freezer bowls back into the freezer.
Safety Feature
For motor protection, the Cuisinart Automatic Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker has a safety feature that automatically stops the unit if the motor over heats. This may occur if the dessert or drink is extremely thick, the machine has been running for an excessive period of time, or if the added ingredients are just too big. To reset the unit all you have to do is turn it off, let it cool down and turn it back on again to continue making the dessert.
