Accessories: Instruction with recipes

The ice cream maker is packed in two boxes by the manufacturer. The first is brown cardboard with a description of the main technical characteristics and the second is colorful.

The sticker that sealed the colorful box was also a round UNOLD brand.
There are really a minimum of accessories. More precisely, they are not. But this is not at all surprising in the devices that have the proud “PROFI” in their name. Everything is only the most necessary. I have experience using a household ice cream maker with a compressor. It included a brush for washing the mixer tube and a spatula for taking out ice cream. Here the manufacturer did not consider it necessary to add these accessories to the kit.

The main components of the ice cream maker in a closer look:

I specially put the Ikea spatula so that there was an understanding of how convenient it is to get ready-made ice cream out of the bowl.

Here is the bowl with the stirrer inserted

The dimensions of the bowl are as follows:
Height * Diameter 11cm * 20cm
Mid shaft approx 1.6 cm in diameter

The ice cream maker is vertical, the compressor is located under the bowl for mixing the mixture, and not on the side. This saves horizontal space in the kitchen. The design is very stylish in stainless steel. Fits perfectly into any kitchen interior or even living room.

So, let's consider the main programs of the device:
1. Stir and Freeze - Ice Cream Cone Icon. This is the main function for making ice cream. The time can be adjusted with a rotating wheel - the time regulator, which is located on the right. The maximum time that is displayed on the board is 60 minutes. If you do not get ice cream within 10 minutes after the end of the program, the “keep cool” ice cream storage mode will automatically turn on for 2 hours.

2. "Stirring" - "stirrer" icon. This feature comes in handy if, for example, you chilled a chocolate ice cream mix using cocoa. The cocoa usually flakes down and the mixture must be stirred before starting the ice cream. The stirring time can also be adjusted.

3. "Freeze" - the "snowflake" icon. If your ice cream has not reached the desired consistency during cooking, you can select this function to freeze the mixture after cooking. It seems that this function will not be superfluous if you are preparing ice cream and receiving guests. What if someone wants a supplement?

Programs are selected easily by successive pressing of the “MENU” button.
In managing this ice cream maker, everything is so simple that there is nothing to describe. I still read the instructions before the first use, but I found nothing terrible or unusual.
This is what the menu buttons look like:

On the left is a backlit screen where you can see the selected program, the countdown time and the temperature that the compressor is currently issuing. The data is automatically regularly changed on the scoreboard.
Next, we see the "POWER" button, which turns on the ice cream maker
"MENU" button to select the required program. The program is selected by successive pressing of the button. The icon of the selected program is shown on the screen.

Advantages of this ice cream maker:
1. Excellent bowl volume for making ice cream. For my family of 5, it's just right to taste a delicious dessert, and there will still be freezing.
2. Convenience of the shape of the bowl. It is wide, a rather large space between the plastic "pin" and the walls - it is convenient to take out ice cream and transfer it to a container for storage or for serving.
3. Phenomenally low noise level during the operation of the ice cream maker. I would call it a quiet rustle. Impressive!
4. Rapid rotation of the mixer during the preparation of ice cream - 64 rpm. This is essential for a smooth, silky ice cream.
5. Very quick exit to working temperature. At the beginning of work, the ice cream maker shows plus 21 degrees Celsius, and after 2 minutes 40 seconds minus 21 degrees Celsius.
6. Simple operation - only three buttons and a wheel for adjusting and setting the time.
7. Automatic storage of prepared ice cream for up to two hours.

Negative points (well, let’s grumble):
1. Price.
2. Complete absence of accessories for this item 1.
3. It is necessary to get used to removing ice cream from the mixer - there are a lot of bends and multidirectional details.

Delicious ice cream for you!
