Our take on the SIMZLIFE Ice Cream Maker with 2 Pint Containers

The SIMZLIFE is a small countertop ice cream maker that freezes a pint of dessert in one bowl while you pre-freeze the second container for the next batch. It runs on simple button controls and its parts are dishwasher-safe. The 0.45-quart bowls suit single servings or couples, not families. Against larger compressor machines it is slower and needs its bowls frozen ahead, but it takes up little space and skips the ice-and-salt routine.

Questions and answers

How long do the bowls need to freeze?

The bowls need a full pre-freeze in the freezer before use, typically overnight. A bowl that is not fully frozen will not firm up the mixture.

Can I make two batches back to back?

Yes, if you keep the second bowl frozen while the first churns. Once a bowl has been used, it must be refrozen before another batch.

What can I make besides ice cream?

The bowls work for sorbet, frozen yogurt and similar chilled desserts. Very low-fat or high-alcohol mixtures freeze less firmly.

Are the parts dishwasher-safe?

The removable parts are dishwasher-safe. Check the motor base by hand only, since it contains the electronics.

How does it compare with a compressor ice cream maker?

A compressor machine freezes continuously and makes larger batches without pre-freezing. This one is smaller and simpler but depends on frozen bowls and makes about a pint at a time.
