Hello everyone, Having a freezer drawers, and since it takes place beforehand in the freezer, well bulky container of most ice cream makers for a dozen hours, I foresaw the purchase of an ice turbine, rather expensive and cumbersome This is a fact! Following the reading of forums on "ice cream makers and turbines," I discovered the great advantage of this ice cream maker Philips: simply place the DISK COOLER (compact), after turning in a plastic bag during overnight in the freezer to refreeze before each use! And to prepare the ice in a blender, I mix all ingredients refrigerated beforehand: it takes only a few minutes and then I pour the contents into the ice cream maker after having reinserted the frozen disk and after startup ! In 30/40 minutes max, we can enjoy a "home ice" creamy wishes! I happen to prepare in advance, in this case, I transferred to a container before putting it in the freezer. Just take it out a few minutes before the tasting, to return it ontueuese. To prepare a dessert last minute, simply to go shortly before they get to eat! Furthermore, I personally find it very QUIET! There are some days I improvised, starting from a basic recipe, a delicious ice cream .., which according to some family members, strongly resembled the Chunky Monkey B & J !!! It is true that this was my goal ;-)! What a treat and as natural as I use the ingredients, if possible, Bio!
