Really would like to see an updated version of this since the one on the right has a version that chills itself and then there's the ninja creami as well
I'm guessing this vid was made before the Ninja CREAMi 7-in-1 Ice Cream Maker became available. It's the best Ice Cream maker in the galaxy, it's very heavy duty, it's very easy cleanup.
I have that one they show on here the Breville ice cream machine, it's the Lexus of ice cream maker.🍨🍦🙂
I don't understand why they talk about the paddle as if it spins in the cheaper ice cream machines because it doesn't. You don't need to stop the machine to put an instant read thermometer in the machine, the canister is spinning but the paddle part is not. Just put in the thermometer! Did Adam really test these machines?
whatever you do, dont actually demonstrate the product so we can see……………..
Please make video explaining the best model for frozen yogurt!!! Too many ppl are lactose intolerant so we can’t make ice cream
In 2022 dollars:
02:44 = $70
03:05= $495
I want one with the freezer built in! I never have enough room in my freezers to put a canister and wait for it to freeze! It is the one thing I will treat myself to. 🙂
what about the kitchenaid?
Do not get the KitchenAid attachment. Wonderful mixer but this attachment was a fail. It has a manufacturing defect that makes the unit crack and leak out the blue interior cooling element which is not only a health hazard but it will also make a mess. It has been going on for years and KitchenAid has not addressed it. You can see these comments in Amazon, Williams Sonoma web site, and KitchenAid's own site. Interestingly enough in the KitchenAid site the ratings for this unit are quite low.
Where I can get one in india? Please provide the contact information।
Here's a list that helped me out.

In the end, I went with #1.

TOM PIPPS FOAM_ BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA USA HI HELLO MY BABY &
I love these test kitchen videos. They are so helpful.
when the heck was this made? The "equipment expert" says they had to turn off the ice cream maker to get a reading from an instant read thermometer. Didn't they have an infrared handheld digital thermometer at their disposal? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe they would have had to turn off the machine if using a digital hand held thermometer for a reading …
Hello
I would've liked to hear about each model individually, rather than just the winners. Why even have the others on the shelf then?
I have a donvier and I always have a cylinder in the freezer. Recently I got the Cuisinart and I like it. Same principle I wash it and put it right back in the freezer so I’m always ready with a backup cylinder as well. I just made black raspberry ice cream with berries from the yard and triple basil 🌿 peach 🍑
omg that cow is such a shill lol
You should have tried the old fashioned ice-around-the-bucket. Another YT channel added it in the mix and it surprisingly won. It's chilling mechanism turned out to be more efficient.
Now we know how much the BA Test Kitchen's ice cream maker costs
No mention of ease of use or clean up. No mention of temperature consistency during churning. No thermocouplers. No mention of noise or stability. Leave these product tests to Lisa, please.
"in 2019, this list helped me decide for the best ice cream maker scafe.shop/tbicm2019?TL hope it helps you out too!"
Hello @testkitchen, we're you paid by any of the companies (Cuisanart, Nostalgia or Breville)?
I use the Cuisinart, but i do want a compressor type some day
Lovin' my Cuisinart I bought last summer. It works great and the ice cream is so much better than most store bought, which is loaded with gums, carrigeenan and other stabilizers that have a slimy faux-creamy mouth feel. Once you know you can't unfeel it. Now I keep it pure & experiment with vanilla beans, black cherries, walnuts etc – so delicious.
Like this one tutorial, the Oven tutorial has been requested.
I love the content of these series, but the presentation is nauseating. Its way too over produced, and its the antithesis of genuine.
Love these equipment reviews, thanks
I would just buy the cheaper one and be happy, or better yet, do what I am doing now, buy ice cream already made in the stores.
Don't show 6 different ice cream makers and only talk about 2 of them.
WORST REVIEW EVER!!!
