Interesting, but no mention of making the base with cornstarch, our got-to recipe.

 

Skimmed through the ice cream maker section.  Yes, we are on a low budget for such things and just amateur homemakers so I looked up the ICE-100 maker which is what we have used for a long time now.  It's $49.00 in the States...$89.00 in Canada.  Yup.  That's how it is.  Always.

 

And as for the heat problem...I use two small bungee cords and place two plastic coated ice paks around the machine and it does a fine job.   True, I can't make back to back portions of ice cream...but I can easily do one a day and sometimes even two a day.

It sounds like yours is a freezer-bowl model. However, the current ICE-100 is a compressor model, according to my Amazon search. I'm guessing Cuisinart re-assigned the old model number, and that yours is more like this model. I haven't looked, but I suspect used bowls crop up on eBay from time to time. We used this Cuisinart, with two bowls, for a long time. It's since been supplanted by a DeLonghi compressor model, but we still keep the bowls in the big freezer, just in case.

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic
