Our take on the Cuisinart ICE-21 Automatic Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt & Sorbet Maker

The ICE-21 is Cuisinart's entry-level frozen-bowl ice cream maker. You freeze the double-insulated bowl overnight, pour in the mix, and a motor turns the paddle while the bowl chills the base; it makes ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet in about 20 minutes. It is the simplest way to start making frozen desserts at home, and it costs far less than compressor machines. The trade-off is planning: the bowl needs a day in the freezer, and you make one batch at a time. Reviewers consistently rate it highly for ease and results at its level.

  • Small footprint for a countertop appliance
  • Few parts, easy to clean
Cons
  • Bowl must be frozen 16 to 24 hours before use

Questions and answers

How long does the bowl need in the freezer?
Cuisinart says 16 to 24 hours, and the bowl should be frozen solid. A deep freezer works faster than a freezer compartment.
Does it need ice and salt?
No. The double-insulated bowl holds the cold itself, so you only freeze the bowl and add your mix.
How much ice cream does one batch make?
About 1.5 quarts, roughly 12 half-cup servings. You need to refreeze the bowl before a second batch.
Can it make frozen yogurt and sorbet?
Yes. It handles ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet bases; sorbet sets especially well because it has less fat.
How does it compare with a compressor machine?
A compressor machine churns batch after batch without pre-freezing, but it is larger and much more expensive. The ICE-21 trades that convenience for simplicity and a lower outlay.
Is the bowl and paddle dishwasher safe?
The bowl and paddle are hand-wash only; the bowl should not go in the dishwasher. Wipe the base clean.
Where is the Cuisinart ICE-21 Automatic Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt & Sorbet Maker cheapest?
