KitchenAid 5KICA0WH Ice Cream Maker (Accessory for all KitchenAid Stand Mixers), White

I'm a massive fan of KitchenAid products, this one is no exception. It's easy to use and clean, whilst giving top quality results - anyone can use this and make great ice cream. It attaches to all models of the KitchenAid Stand Mixers and is easy to assemble. The first time I used it, the drive assembly snapped part way through - no problem. A quick e-mail lead to me receiving another product the next day so I could get back to making ice cream again. If i were to be particularly critical, a bigger bowl would leave room for more ice cream - maybe I should just eat less. Nonetheless, a top quality buy.

This is basically a double skinned mixing bowl. It fits both the tilt head mixer and the heavy duty mixers. The bowl is double skinned and is very heavy. I assume there's water inside the double insulated container. The instructions tell you that you should ideally freeze this bowl for 15 hours before you use it. This is sufficient to thoroughly freeze the bowl and retain that chill for some time but you do need to be quick and you do need to make sure you aren't anywhere too hot. So make sure your recipe ingredients are all ready to go, you're all plugged in and you're not doing it anywhere hot, like next to the cooker. The bowl comes supplied with a special paddle and adjustable attachment. There's lots of great ice cream recipe books on Amazon for machines and for stand mixers like this. They are all good. My favourite is Liquirice with PERNOD !!!! :) enjoy

Has so far made the most excellent ice cream! Well, actually bought it for my wife, who has made the most excellent ice cream ;-) However she was delighted with it as a present to compliment her KitchenAid. I dare say other reviewer will complain it is a fiddle or that bits are made of plastic. However it's not a fiddle if you have common sense and follow the instructions and the plastic parts are sutuitable strong and corrosion-proof which makes perfect sense. Doesn't go in the dishwasher but (unlike some other reviewers) I am not such a lazy bugger that I find washing it in the sink a problem). As I say it makes great ice cream - especially if you buy the Ben & Jerry's ice cream recipe book !

I got one of these last summer as i had recently got my kitchen aid and was looking at ways to make the most of it, as i just seem to use it for baking - which is fine, but thought should try more things to justify the price tag. This is brilliant, my kids love it, will never buy ice cream from the shops again. It's just so easy, & in 20 minutes you've got ice cream. I haven't tried the kitchen aid recipe, comes with a recipe, as it looked just too complicated - i got the Ben & jerry recipe book, which is also brilliant & you use whip up a couple of eggs, tub of cream & some sugar and hey presto it's done. You do need a big freezer though as the bowl is quite large & needs to be frozen for a long time beforehand, i found the easiest way is to leave it in there & then you're always ready - but if i didn't have the extra freezer in the garage, this would not be possible. Only 4 stars as it is so expensive, i'm tempted to get the pasta attachment now but again its another £100 - not sure if its worth it.

So if your buying this you already own a kitchen aid mixer, if you already own a kitchen aid mixer your probably a bit of a foodie (why else would you spend £500 on a mixer) If you are a bit of a foodie and capable of making your own ice creams - this does the churn part superbly well- easy to set up and use - I’ve made 3 ice creams, a frozen yoghurt and 2 sorbets so far all have work out with the perfect texture (I struggled with my other churn to get sorbets right)

The box was a bit battered when it arrived and the ice cream bowl seemed scratched and dirty inside. I thought it was probably a return but was fine with that. I noticed a scratch on the outside of the bowl with some dried blue stuff around it. I gave the bowl a good clean, it seemed fine and I put it in the freezer and used it. As I was hand washing the bowl I realised it was leaking blue fluid from near the scratch and sat it on kitchen paper to dry. When I came back a few hours later it was dripping the blue liquid down the side. I wasn't impressed with the quality and won't buy another one. Returns process was very easy.

Love this ice cream maker! Easy to use, not messy at all, just pour the ingredients in and let it do its thing. Make sure you read the instructions though! I bought The Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accessories to go with it, and I've already made a fantastic ice cream with apricots and pistachios. Best thing is I know exactly what is in the ice cream, and I can adjust it to be as fatty or light as I like! I've only had this for a few days but can see it getting a lot of use... very happy with this buy!

I was inspired to purchasing this after watching Australian TV programme Jumbo’s Just Desserts. Product arrived quickly All you do is get your KitchenAid out of the cupboard, clip on the white gizmo to make the icecream mixer work, look up an icecream recipe (I used Jamie Oliver’s chocolate icecream) and follow the directions. Just beware that the bowl needs to sit in your freezer drawer for 15 hours before you start, so you do need to plan ahead. Results - dreamy creamy chocolate icecream. More like Gelato than the shop bought versions, but that is because there is no air whipped into the mixture. Next step is to experiment with using coconut cream instead of standard cream to make it a healthier treat. Sorbets next - can’t wait

Bonne qualité, quantité parfois trop limite dans les recettes, facile d'utilisation, à laver, je le garde au congélateur comme cela toujours prêt pour une glace à tout moment.

Works well

Schon lange wollte ich Eis selber machen, konnte mich aber bisher noch nie dazu durchringen, Geld für eine Eismaschine auszugeben. Durch einen Blog mit tollen Rezepten für selbstgemachtes Eis, bin ich wieder auf die Idee gekommen das auch zu probieren; es geht ja angeblich auch ohne Eismaschine. Da das Ergebnis (trotz vielfachen Rührens alle 20 min) nicht wirklich toll war, sollte also jetzt doch eine Eismaschine her. Eine "richtige", mit Kompressor sollte es sein. Nachdem ich in dieser Richtung recherchiert habe, hat mich das Geiwcht, das Design dieser Teile und auch der Preis wieder innehalten lassen. Ein zweiter Anlauf brachte mich auf die Idee bei Zubehör für die Kitchenaid zu suchen. Prima, auch hier gibt es einen Ice Cream Maker. Gut, das ist dann natürlich keine selbstkühlende Maschine, aber die vielen positiven Rezensionen, dass es damit klappt, hatten mich (schon fast) überzeugt. Dann aber stieß ich beim weiterlesen auf Hinweise, dass amerikanische und europäische Maschinen und Zubehörteile nciht immer kompatibel sein sollen... Insbesondere der amerikanische Adapter des Ice Cream Makers passe nicht auf europäische Maschinen... Ich habe eine amerikanische Kitchenaid Artisan, die ich vor 2 Jahren aus USA mitgebracht habe und bisher haben alle Zubehörteile, die ich dann hier gekauft habe, gepasst. Dabei handelte es sich aber ausschliesßlich um Teile, die vorne an der Halterung angebracht werden (Nudelvorsatz, Rührennudelaufsatz, etc.) und nicht am Rührarm. Egal, man kann es ja wieder zurückschicken, wenn es nicht passt, also habe ich den Ice Cream Maker bestellt (und insgeheim gehofft, dass der amerikanische Adapter mitgeliefert wird, wie wohl früher schon geschehen). Dem war allerdings nciht so, in meiner Lieferung war - ganz korrekt - der europäische Adapter dabei. Und siehe da: er PASST! Aufgrund der verschiedenen Aussparungen (A oder B) kann er auch mit amerikanischen Maschinen verwendet werden! Dann ging's gleich ans Ausprobieren: Ab in den Gefrierschrank mit der Schüssel (hatte vorher noch die Temperatur auf das Maximum von minus 24 Grad eingestellt) und nach dem hier auch schon viel gelobten Rezptbuch von Ben & Jerry's eine Eis-Mischung zubereitet und für mehrere Stunden in den Kühlschrank gestellt. Am nächsten Tag dann das Eis zubereitet - genau nach Anweisung von Kitchenaid - und nach 30 Minuten hatte ich perfektes cremiges (Soft-) Eis. Zum gleich verspeisen gut geeignet, wenn man es etwas weicher mag. Den Rest, den wir nicht gleich gegessen haben, habe ich bei minus 19 Grad in das Gefrierfach gestellt und nach weiteren 2 Stunden hatte das Eis dann die perfekte Konsistenz, wie man es von der Eisbude kennt. Diese bleibt auch nach 2 Tagen noch genauso erhalten und - anders als bei Eis ohne Eismaschine - wird nicht zu einem Eisblock. FAZIT: der europäische Ice Cream Maker passt auch auf amerikanische Maschinen. Wenn man sich genau an die Anleitungen der Rezepte und von Kitchenaid hält, wird das Eis perfekt, wenn man es nach der Zubereitung noch weiter im Gefreirfach belässt. Daher von mir 5 Sterne und absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Urunu hem amazondan hem de daha sonra Karacadan aldim. İkisinde de 4 kenarında tornavida izi vardı. Sanırım kitchenaid turkiye oyle dağıtıyor. Geri iade edip Amazon Germani den yeni modelini aldim. Yenisi sorunsuz geldi. Çok iyi dondurmalar yapıyor. Amazona bu imkanı sağladığı icin teşekkürler

Rymmer dock inte så mycket som jag hoppats, så det blir inte så mycket glass per tillfälle
