Thanks for the comment. I always wanted to a Pacojet for some recipes I have so I had to grab the Creami when I saw it come up. The single point of failure issue was me being clumsy and dropping the outer bowl lid (the main one) after I did the first spin on the ice cream. The result was it broke two bits off. The only issue is the bit included the locating lug that tells the Creami that the bowl is installed. Luckily the ice cream was pretty good on the first spin, but wasn’t as creamy as I would have liked. I have now glued it together and hoping it works until the replacement arrives as I have some serious prep to do for New Year’s Eve in the ice cream department.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Been a fun day in the kitchen with the Creami. Worked out the single point of failure is the outer lid. Now have a new one on order. Today's dishes are the back up from the last post. 1. Smoked salmon, prawn, crab dip (ninja creami) 2. Oysters and Spanish onionn mingnonette 3.Tuna and Ocean Trout Sashimi 4. Scallops with puree garlic pumpkin ( sous vide then ninja cream) and pancetta panko crumb 5 Lobster, parsnip, and young coconut (ninja creami) 6. Chocolate Mousse with lite vanilla ice cream ( ninja creami)

Thanks @blue_dolphin. He is my 19 YO food demanding cat. super fussy like me That Paté looks divine and will have to give it a go. I know that Ninja has marketed the Creami for the sweet tooth (which is definitely me), but it is great to see it used for other stuff.

Just wondering if anyone has tried to use this in the same way as a Pacojet? finally grabbed on of these as I wanted to do a dish for Christmas from the Alinea cookbook. first impressions are amazing. Food prep is super important. So, in my first week I have made the following; 1. No sugar vanilla ice cream ( why don’t commercial ones taste this good) 2. Smoked salmon, crab and prawn pâté 3. three sorbet’s (pineapple, papaya, mango). All amazing and made a spiced rum sauce to drizzle. 4. pumpkin purée. This is to accompany a dish. Sous vide pumpkin and garlic. 5. Coconut mousse for a dish. I have prepped some olive oil to try and make a butter. (Only 16 more hours until that is ready). so far I am loving this unit. I am sure there will some failures and I may need to grab another blade as a back up. Christmas lunch will include 4 to 5 elements using the Ninja Creami and only one of those is dessert
