Rival GC9155 Gel Canister 1-1/2-Quart 2-Piece Electric Ice-Cream Maker Review

When I first got this I followed the directions on the box for chocolate cookie ice cream exactly (which specified refrigerating the mixture for 30 minutes and freezing the gel canisters for 24 hours).This gave me something at about the consistency of a runny milkshake.My second try involved refrigerating the mixture for 18 hours and freezing the gel canisters for around 36 hours.That was more of a thick milkshake.

My winning formula was refrigerating the mix overnight and freezing the canisters for a week in a 0 degree (F) deep freezer.This produced fairly soft ice cream, but still definitely ice cream (it did harden in the freezer afterward).I haven't yet experimented to see what the minimum time for a refreeze is, but bringing them down from room temperature the first time took a very long time.

If you want to make smallish batches of ice cream fairly often, then this is the ice cream maker for you.It doesn't require you to get bagged ice to cool the mixture, and the gel canisters collapse to take up less space in your freezer if you just store them there full time.If, on the other hand, you want large batches or only want to make ice cream for special occasions you're probably better off with a bagged ice and rock salt model.
