What our customer's say!

"quick, easy, ice cream", The product works great. I ended up buying one for my brother and uncle as well. There are a few secrets to its use.
1. It needs to be in the freezer longer than it says, I put mine in the freezer in May and don't take it out until October.
2. Don't use any of the recipes that come with it.
3. The cooler the ingredients the quicker it freezes up.
4. Basically I googled ice cream recipes and wen with the easiest.
Here's an easy way. Frozen fruit, vanilla yogurt (yogurt makes things freeze up quick for some reason), sugar, milk (evaporated, condensed or regular), put it in a blender then add to machine.

"Great and versatile! Read below for a few tips...", I purchased this ice cream maker because my aunt had told me it was a great tool to have. She was right :-) So far I have made chocolate and espresso gelato and vanilla ice cream. I haven't tried sorbet, frozen yogurt or sherbert, but intend to soon. My aunt just mixes up some frozen fruit and juice in a blender and adds it to the ice cream maker until it's sorbet consistency.

A FEW TIPS:

1) The directions say wait 2-3 minutes between stirs. I wait 2-3 minutes before the first stir, then 4 minutes before the second, then 5 minutes before the third, etc. etc. etc. It is best if you wait longer than 15-20 minutes total, though, but I normally just play it by ear--just keep looking at the ice cream and checking the consistency visually. you can tell when it's done becuase it won't be liquidy any more. Between stirs, you don't need to set a timer or anything, just estimate and if you try stiring and it's easy to stir, wait longer. It should be relativley tough to stir--that means you're scraping the frozen ice cream off the sides of the container so the rest can freeze.

2) The recipes in the booklet all make 1 qt. of ice cream/sorbet, etc. I found that you can fit a 1-1/2 batch in the ice cream maker just fine. 1 batch makes enough for 2-3 people, but when you're feeding a family of 5 dessert, it's not enough :-)

3) I was dissapointed when I saw that some of the ice cream recipes say 'refrigerat overnight.' I thought I could just decide on a whim 'I want ice cream' and make it right away. It does take time, but you can find recipes that you don't have to refrigerate overnight. Just look online or in a cookbook. Most say 'cool thorougly.' You just have to make sure it's cold enough that it won't warm up the ice cream maker. A few hours should be enough in most cases. Just test the temperature with your finger.

Overall, it's a great machine. I adapted the directions a little bit, and found it works better my way :-) but it's definatley worth the 50 bucks. Although milk and cream are pretty pricy, you can make sorbet and sherbert for much less.

"fantastic",
this is great no ice or salt no mess and works fast. We love this thing

"Overall pleased", Overall, I am very pleased with this product. There is one thing that concerns me . . . the handle is plastic, and when I turn the handle, I am concerned that one of these times it will break. Also, I looked for a little larger ice cream maker with these same qualities. Either I did not see it, or it is not available.


"Donvier", This is the easiest ice cream maker ever! It doesn't make a huge amount, but it is so simple, quick and easy. It is the perfect size for our family. Just pour the ingredients in the frozen bowl, put the lid on, stir it every few minutes and after about 20 minutes, you have frozen homemade ice cream!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"I love the Donvier!", Well, I do. It is simple to use and requires only the ingredients for the ice cream (no rock salt, etc.). Chill the ice cream base mix first and put the cylinder in a cold freezer. I just leave the cylinder in the chest freezer for storage. I have had mine for 10 years. No problems. Stir upon adding the first set of ingredients, and then get a feel for how frequently thereafter. I find that you cannot overstir. I can give this the necessary stirring whilst preparing other food or doing dishes. I am not at all bothered by the time commitment. The ice cream yield is about 6 good size servings. I will do a half recipe next time. After the initial 20 minutes, the ice cream is soft, so just freeze the whole cylinder, per the instructions, for about 30 minutes. Then, using a wooden utensil, get the ice cream out. I was able to get relatively hard ice cream. Frozen leftovers will indeed be hard. Let them warm on the counter. They are pretty good as well, although nothing beats the fresh ice cream. In addition to interesting ingredients, including quality dark chocolate, I can control the amount of sugar (sometimes using Splenda) and the fat (milk, skim, half and half, cream). It tastes better than any store bought.

"Perfect for us", I received a 1 pint Donvier for Mother's Day. It's fabulous! Just the right amount for myself and my husband, but I now want the 1 quart size as well.
The canister lives in the freezer and is ever ready for our whim, company, or grandkids. Our freezer gets the canister so cold it can get difficult to stir - no problem! We just stir more often than every 2 minutes.
After years with a White Mountain hand crank that makes 1/2 gallon, requires ice and salt and muscles and endurance, this is a dream. It's almost TOO easy!
We are in a rural area with a small market and limited ice cream choices (Ice cream isn't quite the same after the hour drive from town in a cooler), but now we have our favorite flavors, gourmet quality, whenever we like.
Highly recommended.

"Donvier ice cream maker", While not as easy as it appears, and more time consuming than expected, the quality of the end product is very good, so I give it 4 stars.

"Donvier Ice Cream Maker", Friends and family love the ice cream and it's quick and easy as long as you remember to pre-freeze the container. The only downside is that it only makes enough for 4 generous servings or 6 small ones.

"There are better options", I owned one of these a couple years ago and decided to sell it at a garage sale. Like others have said, you can keep the bowl in the freezer and make ice cream whenever you want to. However, I found that I rarely wanted to stand there and turn the crank by hand for that many minutes. There are several much better options. Cuisinart came out with an electric powered unit. And KitchenAid makes an attachment for their stand mixes. I own the Cuisinart double bowl model. We absolutely love it and no more sore arms!
