Do i need to buy the freezer bowl or does it come with it? Also do i have to put the freezer bowl in my own freezer before using it?

There is one bowl that comes with the housing. You need to put that bowl in your freezer for 12 hours to be cold enough to freeze the ice cream. 24 hours works best but 12 will do.

The freezer bowl DOES come with it and YES, put the bowl in your own freezer before using it. The first time I used my machine I made sure the freezer bowl had been in the freezer overnight so that it would be as cold as possible.

The freezer bowl comes with it and yes you need to put it in freezer before you use it.

Tammy, I found the bucket on Amazon - Cuisinart ICE-30RFB 2-Quart Freezer Bowl, Stainless Steel and the price was under $40.00. Happy ice cream making.

Hi, it appears that the freezer compartment is the cooler for the entire fridge. The control knob is a part of the freezer but I can't be 100 % certain that there isn't a way to take it apart because it's completely frosted over right now and I can't inspect it properly! My guess is no. But you can use the freezer as regular fridge space for some things because it isn't all that cold. I put some ice cream in there and it got soft. It didn't melt and make a runny mess but it was not frozen.

I've never used frozen food in it, but I image that you could. I've used mine for spagetti (leftover from the night before), soup, stew, & beans. I can plug it in when I get to work and they are hot by lunch time. It comes with a removeable bowl and lid, that is dishwasher safe. I just fill the removable bowl and put in the refrigerator the night before and grab it and go the next morning. It is mainly for reheating and not like the big crock pots for cooking.

i have frozen it in ice tray to have single portion sizes for sauces and such. also it will keep in the fridge for about a week. but in the fridge it becomes solid, so you have to heat when you want to use. i will put it in a glass bell jar with top and heat to use when in fridge.

Hi Tammy, the name of the bucket is Cuisinart Ice 30-RFB 2 Qt freezer bowl stainless steel. I have got to get one myself because you definitely need a second one.Glad to help and hope you find this information helpful.

No, the bucket does not go to the freezer. This machine is like a freezer. The difference is that you don´t need to plan to freeze a bowl

It must be re-frozen for a number of hours to be used again. I would buy another bowl if I want to do batches back to back .

My bowls are fine. I keep them in the freezer so they are ready when needed. My freezer has been working fine.

It's not the motor that needs to cool down - it's the bowl itself. The freezing process comes as the cold material between the inner and out walls of the bowl takes away heat from the ice cream mixture. For best results, keep the bowl in your deep freeze rather than the freezer portion of your refrigerator. Dedicated freezers are colder. It takes about six hours to "recharge" the mixing bowl after you run a batch. I purchased a second mixing bowl so that I would have the option of a second mix without waiting overnight.......

Freeze bowl aluminum, that sits inside stainless tub that the bowl slides in to. It is very tight so both have to be very clean when in use.

The bowl that the mixture is poured into. It must be kept in the freezer for several hours before you make the ice cream. There is a liquid in the sides of the bowl that gets frozen. You also mix the recipe for your ice cream and chill it for a couple of hours too. Then it will give you ice cream inn 20 minutes. When done mixing, wash the bowl and put back in freezer for next time.

You don't use ice! You put the insert canister in the freezer, usually I do over a day and once frozen you put it in the maker.

Dunno, except that it might be for ice? That seems logical. It would be awkward, I think, to put any kind of ingredient in there. The only time I've used this bowl and lid (that does not lock) is to make a batter and put it in the refrigerator while I am doing some other step and wish to keep the ingredients cool. That is why I think it is for ice.

I have a VERY good rubber scraper...it's just a spatula but is nice and stiff with a tad of "give" to it. I find it "impossible" to get EVERYTHING out of the freezing bowl but put 97% of what I make into the freezer and have to suffer and sit and scrape out the rest and eat it....it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it! But really...just find the right scraper and do the best job you can...you should be able to get most of it out. Happy churning!

You shouldn't have a problem! You have to freeze the bowl for 12-14 hours first. You wait until you are just ready to make it then take it out of the freezer. The recipes say that once it churns you can eat right then as a "soft serve" ice cream but I still find it too soft. After being in the freezer an hour or so it's perfect. This is a great addition to my mixer and I'm really glad I bought it/
