Our take on the Nostalgia PICM4BG

The Nostalgia PICM4BG is a 1-quart soft-serve ice cream maker built around a pre-frozen bowl. You freeze the bowl overnight, add your mix, and the paddle churns soft serve in about 20 minutes. It is small, light and styled like a retro countertop appliance. It suits households that want occasional small batches without a compressor machine. Against compressor rivals it is simpler and cheaper to own, but it cannot churn back-to-back batches and needs freezer space ahead of time.

Questions and answers

Do I need to freeze the bowl before use?
Yes. The bowl must be frozen solid, typically overnight, before each batch. It will not churn a warm bowl.
How much ice cream does one batch make?
About 1 quart, roughly two to four servings. You get one batch per bowl freeze.
Does it make hard ice cream?

How long does churning take?
Around 20 minutes once the bowl is frozen and the mix is added, depending on the recipe and room temperature.
Is it easy to clean?
Yes. The bowl and paddle come out and wash by hand. The bowl should not go in the dishwasher if you want to keep its coolant intact.
