Our take on the Total Chef Top Chef Automatic Frozen Yogurt/ Ice Cream Maker

The Total Chef Top Chef is a compact automatic frozen dessert maker with a removable freezer bowl. You chill the bowl, pour in a mixed base, and a paddle churns it to soft-serve texture in roughly 20 to 40 minutes. It is a simple, low-cost entry into home ice cream, but it lacks a built-in compressor, so it makes one batch at a time and needs refreezing between batches. Rivals with self-freezing compressors cost far more and churn back-to-back; this one suits occasional small batches of ice cream, frozen yogurt or sorbet.

Questions and answers

Do I need to freeze the bowl before use?
Yes. The bowl must be frozen solid, usually overnight or at least several hours, before each batch. Plan ahead, since a partly frozen bowl gives soupy results.
How much ice cream does it make at once?
It makes a small batch, roughly a few servings. For a family or a party you will need to freeze the bowl and churn again.
Can it make frozen yogurt and sorbet?
Yes. It handles ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet bases. Sorbets and yogurts often set better than rich, high-fat ice cream.
How does it compare with a compressor ice cream maker?
Compressor machines freeze themselves and churn batch after batch, but they are larger and much more expensive. This one trades that convenience for a lower cost and a smaller footprint.
Is the bowl dishwasher safe?
Check the manufacturer's instructions for your model. The removable bowl and paddle are designed for easy hand washing, and the bowl should not go in the freezer wet or dirty.
Why is my ice cream still soft after churning?
Freezer-bowl makers stop at soft-serve texture. Transfer the batch to a lidded container and put it in the freezer for an hour or two to firm up.
