With this electric machine, making up to 1-1/2 quarts of ice cream, gelato, sherbet, frozen yogurt, or frozen drinks is simple as pushing a button. Key to the ease is a freezing cylinder with liquid-filled walls. Storing the cylinder in the freezer for 8 or 10 hours freezes the liquid, which then chills the nonstick interior. In turn, the interior chills ingredients as the machine's double-bladed paddle churns them after the power unit has been placed atop the cylinder, locked into the paddle, and turned on with the push of that button. Approximately 20 to 40 minutes later--depending on the recipe--the frozen confection is ready.
