Cuisinart ICE-RFB 1-1/2-Quart Additional Freezer Bowl, Fits ICE-20/21 Ice Cream Maker, Silver

I did a lot of research before buying an ice cream maker. This is the only ice cream maker that every single reviewer listed as being the best besides an Italian $750 model. I have made over 20 batches of ice cream, gelato, Italian ice and other frozen treats with it. This is simply the best.I have experienced no problems with this ice cream maker. The product comes out frozen every time, the mix ins get added perfectly, it does not jam, it does not overheat. It is easy to clean.Some tips to maximize your performance:Freeze the tub for the recommended 14 hours. Stick it in the back of the freezer where it is coolest.Make sure your cream mixture is COLD when you add it in. I usually toss my mixture in the fridge for at least 3 hours before mixing it in the maker. You can also make it even colder by chilling it in the freezer for an additional 30 mins before adding it to the maker.Do not wash the ice cream maker tub right after making ice cream. The coolant inside the tub is still pretty frozen and you do not want to crack it.Buy an extra ice cream maker tub and ice cream containers. If you want to make a larger batch an extra tub helps and I'd you want your ice cream to stay soft in the freezer a double insulated ice cream container is a must.Other than that, highly recommend. So simple to use, I can't believe all those reviews were right. Highly recommend.

The original freezer bowl that came with the ICE-21 turned out to have a slow leak in it from the way it was haphazardly shipped in its display box, and it never stayed cold long enough to make even soft serve ice cream - even after days in the freezer - and only figured it out what the cause was from google. As the seller, Ta*** wouldn’t allow a return or exchange, contrary to listing, we were stuck with it.Then Amazon decided to lower the cost of the replacement freezer bowl, to less than buying a whole new machine, and within a day we were making edible ice cream. This one freezes quickly, stays frozen for quite awhile after making and removing the ice cream - which at first made it difficult yet funny to clean as the water froze while hand washing it, but we eventually figured it out.Can’t say it’s better than store bought, and not as stiff, but is bargain priced and still delicious - plus sparks fun debates as to what we should try adding to make it different each time, and as a plus, because this new one freezes so fast, we’ve even been able to double up with 2 batches when company wants to try it out.

Super easy instructions. Suggests you refrigerate mixture 2 hours, but it only takes 1 hour. Chocolate recipe is super chocolate so you may want to back off the amount of cocoa powder. Adding Almonds cut in half is great. The Vanilla recipe is wonderful.

Found out the original part does not do the job after some time. (Guessing I used my original one for at least 20 years) The new one works perfectly.

Okay I finally did it and so glad as I found quite a deal. We have been needing a second one as I did not buy the extra freezer bowl when I bought the machine. And well we make so many flavors and don’t all like the same. And right now we have Eggnog ice cream and the best dark chocolate ice cream ever. I like being able to make two batched one after another. And some of the recipes are so big one will not freeze the complete recipe. Been thinking about the 2 Quart machine but the second freezer bowl is working for now.

Works as expected. Bought as replacement for an older bucket that failed.

I have a Cuisinart ice cream machine but the bowl was missing. This bowl replaced it very well. It's easy to use, easy to clean, and best of all, no melting ice or rock salt.

I found a boxed GE ice cream maker at Goodwill ($7.50). Once I got home - it turned out it was missing the freezer bowl. I could not find a low risk used one online, and my local Goodwill does not accept returns on electronics.However, even though this freezer bowl made the cost of everything close enough to a new ice cream machine - I still find it all worth it. And I appreciate the ice cream that much more.
