The bowl is it an internal one or do I have to remove it and freeze before making ice-cream?

You have to remove it and freeze for about 24 hrs before you make the ice cream. I store my empty bowl in the freezer so it is always ready when I get in the mood to make ice cream.

The internal workings should all be placed in the freezer at least 24 hours prior to making the ice cream/sorbert. It works great IF the directions are followed, not so great if they are not!

You have to remove it. You can purchase additional bowls for multiple recipes, replace them, etc... It's not internal.

Yes, the removable cylinder needs to be placed in the freezer for at least 8 hours. Overnight is better! I am about to order a second freezer bowl so I can make a larger amount of ice cream while all the hopeful people stand around and watch! Great product, and you can tailor the ice cream to your taste!

I bought two bowls for that same reason. After ice cream in gone, wash bowl and stick it back in freezer for over night. You can use bowl many times over

Yes, that would definately work.You should always leave your bowl int eh freezer for 24 hours and your ice cream mix in the fridge overnight or so. This will make everything coldest.Ice cream makers are there to aerate and create a dessert with tiny ice crystals rather than a granita or popsicles. The firming needs to be done after the freezing process. This is true of all ice cream makers - It should be about the consistency of soft serve when you put it in the freezer.

No, It is a highly durable strong aluminim, perhaps. It has some weight due to it's double-sided form. Inside the bowl's form is a coolant. It's a heavier liquid that has a slooshing sound when not frozen. When held it feels sturdy, yet I would be careful not to drop it, especially when frozen, just prior to use. You keep it in the freezer so it's always ready to use & is not to be put in dishwasher. It cleans up great with a swipe of soap & water:)

I keep this bowl in the freezer all the time so it will be ready at a moment's notice whenever I decide to make ice cream. I am not sure what the directions say how long it needs to be in the freezer to freeze the gel that is in between the walls - seems like it says 24 hours. If you keep it in the freezer it becomes a none issue. It works real well. I highly recommend it - sometimes I think I should get the second bowl to make ice cream for larger groups. One could make ice cream ahead of time, freeze it and make another later. If you add xanthum gum to it it does not get as icy as it would otherwise.

Yes. For optimal results, the bowl needs to be placed in the freezer for a minimum of 15 hours prior to use.

No, but I've put ice water in to chill the bowl if I'm using it outside in the heat. It works great.

Yes, you can chill it in the freezer before you start making the ice-cream, and after you make the ice-cream you can store it in the freezer. Although the canister does have a lid for storage, it doesn't really stay on.

No, just put the ingredients in the tube, fill the outside with ice and salt and plug it in. When it stops the ice cream is ready.

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

Hello Jessica: The instructions say to remove the ice cream from the mixer bowl within 30 minutes or damage may occur to freezing chamber. Not having a lid for the freezing chamber would not be a good idea to use as a vessel for freezing anyways. I use Ziplock containers for ease.

Yes, it is perfectlly normal and, in fact, is necessary for proper operation of the ice cream maker. As the ice cream freezes on the inside of the can, the paddle (or dasher) scrapes it off the can allowing more liquid to contact the can and freeze. Because the paddle is stationary while the can and liquid spins, it also stirs the mixture and keeps it creamy. This continues until there is more frozen cream than liquid and the motor can't run any longer. That's when you take off the motor and remove the dasher. Then you cover it and let it set up for a while so that the ice cream is a bit firmer. I hope this helps.

From the book that came with the machine: "Anodized aluminum mixing bowl, no need to pre chill or freeze bowl." The inside appears to be coated with a non-stick surface. I would wash by hand and dry....very easy to do.

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

Make sure the ingredients are ALL very cold and that the ice cream maker bowl has been frozen for a couple days. Keep trying. My first two batches were too liquid in texture. You can use those as a smoothy (someone suggested this to me).

You're fine. I must have missed that in my instructions. I put mine directly into the freezer and have had no issues. As a matter of fact, as I go thru the summer, the thing lives in the freezer so I can make Italian ice or sorbet any time I want.

The pail is aluminum, and freezes the ice cream fast. The length of time the mixture is in the pail is really not enough for me to worry about. We bought this so we can make our own without all the additives and make coconut milk ice cream as well. It makes great quality ice cream.
