Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

sorry I wasn't on much later today.. just this AM...

anyway-

a) cuisinart is good for a freeze the cylinder type but we burned out the motor fairly fast on the one we had... moms is a few years old...

b) I personally love our new one.. its by Rival and was only 15$.. it works wonderfully, we can do multiple batches a night, can even buy a spare cylinder- it uses the old fashioned ice and rock salt to make things cold and freeze them, but has a motor to do the churning. The tub is plastic, so easy to clean, and the cylinder stainless steel...with a dishwasher safe churning blade. we can make 2 batches in a night with a bag of bought ice and I can use my extra ice cube trays and have found that 12 trays plus 2 sets of tubes from the popsicle maker leaves me some left over from a 4 quart batch (yes it holds that much!) and they make a larger one! with the 2 freezers I sometimes will make ice all week long and stick it in bags in the freezer and then we can make 2 batches of ice cream in an evening and enjoy- one real cream and one safe for me!

(btw- we now have 6 ice cube trays because I wanted to make more ice- can't see spending $$ on bags of ice ALL the time, just on occasion when I forgot or don't have time to make the ice, or room in the freezer!)
