Cuisinart has an entire line of ice cream and frozen yogurt machines, but for the purposes of this review, I’ll be talking about the Cuisinart 2-Quart Frozen Yogurt – Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker ($80).
I’ve had both the 1.5- and 2- quart version of this machine on-and-off for the last decade. I’m particularly proud of this acquisition, because it was sustainable: Both iterations were a hand-me-down from my epicurean aunt. While I’ve made ice cream in the past, last summer I basically ran a small factory from my apartment, making about a dozen quarts from scratch. I plan to do the same this summer, and recently whipped up batches of chocolate and Earl Grey.
When evaluating the Cuisinart ice cream maker, I graded it on the PureWow100 scale, taking into account factors like functionality, ease of use, ice cream texture, aesthetics and value for a total score out of 100 points.
