Cuisinart ICE-50BC F.A.Q.

How do I properly clean the Cuisinart ICE-50BC ice cream maker?

To clean the Cuisinart ICE-50BC, unplug the unit and disassemble the parts. Wash the bowl, mixing arm, and lid in warm soapy water. Wipe the base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling.

What should I do if the ice cream mixture is not freezing properly?

Ensure the mix is cold before starting and the bowl is properly frozen. Avoid overfilling the bowl and check that the unit is on a stable, level surface. If issues persist, check for any obstructions in the mixing arm.

Can I make dairy-free ice cream using the Cuisinart ICE-50BC?

Yes, the Cuisinart ICE-50BC can be used to make dairy-free ice cream. Substitute dairy ingredients with alternatives like almond milk or coconut milk. Ensure they are well-chilled before use.

Why is my ice cream texture icy instead of creamy?

Icy texture can result from insufficient fat content or if the mixture was not cold enough before churning. Try using recipes with higher fat content or chill the mixture longer before use.

How can I prevent the ice cream from sticking to the sides of the bowl?

Ensure the freezer bowl is properly frozen before use. If sticking occurs, discontinue churning as soon as the desired consistency is reached and transfer to another container promptly.

What is the maximum capacity of the Cuisinart ICE-50BC?

The Cuisinart ICE-50BC has a maximum capacity of 1.5 quarts. Avoid overfilling to ensure proper churning and prevent overflow.

How long should I churn the ice cream mixture?

Churn the mixture for approximately 20-30 minutes or until it reaches the desired consistency. The time may vary based on the recipe and ambient temperature.

Why does my machine make a loud noise during operation?

A loud noise may indicate that the unit is improperly assembled or that the bowl is not fully seated. Check that all parts are correctly fitted and the machine is on a flat surface.

Is it possible to make sorbet with the Cuisinart ICE-50BC?

Yes, you can make sorbet with the Cuisinart ICE-50BC. Prepare your fruit puree and sugar mixture, chill it thoroughly, and follow the same churning process as for ice cream.

How do I store the freezer bowl when not in use?

Store the freezer bowl in the freezer, ensuring it is completely dry and placed upright. This ensures it is always ready for use and maintains its freezing capability.
