Specifications for this rolled ice cream maker include a built-in R134a compressor, which allows for rapid cooling to -10°F without the need for pre-freezing a bowl for 24 hours. The freezing surface is constructed from food-grade 304 stainless steel for efficient thermal conductivity and food safety. This unit is designed to process 0.5-quart batches of liquid base into frozen rolls.
The build quality includes a brushed stainless steel exterior with ABS accents. Practical safety features include a 6-inch clearance requirement for proper heat dissipation during the compressor cycle. Using the included tools, users can scrape and roll the ice cream once it reaches the desired consistency on the chilled plate.
Tests show that the plate cools very quickly; for the best results, it is helpful to have your ingredients ready to spread immediately to prevent flash-freezing before you can work the mixture.
The noise profile is typical for a compressor-based appliance, rated at approximately 50-55dB. Its unique design offers a specialized way to create frozen desserts at home for those interested in the technique of rolled ice cream.
If you prefer a more traditional churn-style machine that can handle larger 1.5-quart batches, the Cuisinart ICE-21 is a popular choice.
