FREEZING TIME AND BOWL
PREPARATION
The freezer bowl must be completely frozen before you begin
your recipe. Before freezing, wash and dry the bowl
completely. The length of time needed to reach the frozen
state depends on how cold your freezer is. It is
recommended that you place the freezer bowl in the back of
your freezer where it is coldest. Be sure to place the freezer
bowl on a flat surface in its upright position for even freezing.
Generally, freezing time is between 16 and 24 hours. Shake
the bowl to determine whether it is completely frozen. If you
do not hear the liquid within the bowl moving, the cooling
liquid is therefore frozen. For the most convenient frozen
desserts and drinks, leave your freezer bowl in the freezer
at all times. Use the bowl immediately after removing from
the freezer. It will begin to quickly defrost once it has been
removed from the freezer.
Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure
proper freezing of all foods.
ASSEMBLING PADDLE
ASSEMBLY
1. Set paddle holder on counter with open end down.
2. Insert the desired paddle into the paddle holder, setting
the wide tab on the bottom of the paddle into the
opening on the bottom of the paddle holder.
3. Push the locking bar firmly onto the ball on top of the
paddle. Press down until you hear and feel it click into
place.
4. Turn the locking bar clockwise, until it clicks into position
under the tabs on the top of the paddle holder.
MAKING FROZEN DESSERT
1. Prepare recipe ingredients from pages that follow or
from your own recipe. If you use your own recipe, be
sure it yields less than 1½ quarts.
2. Remove the freezer bowl from the freezer. Place freezer
bowl on the center of the base.
NOTE:
Bowl will begin to defrost quickly once it has
been removed from freezer. Use it immediately after
removing from freezer.
3. Place assembled paddle holder with selected paddle
onto the raised hub in the bottom of the freezing bowl.
4. Place lid on base and rotate clockwise until tabs on lid
lock in place on base.
5. Press On/Off switch to ON position. Freezer bowl will
begin to turn.
6. Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout.
NOTE: Ingredients must be added to the freezer
bowl after unit is turned on.
7. Ice cream and frozen desserts will be done in 15 to 25
minutes. The average blending and freezing time for
fresh fruit desserts is about 15 minutes. The time will
depend on the recipe and volume of the dessert you
are making. When the mixture has thickened to your
liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency,
transfer the dessert to an airtight container and store in
the freezer for two or more hours.
NOTE:
Do not store frozen desserts in the freezer bowl.
Desserts will stick to the sides of the freezer bowl and may
damage the bowl. Store only in a freezer-safe, airtight
container.
FROZEN FRESH FRUIT
DESSERT TIPS
For frozen fresh fruit desserts, the fruits that work best and
require only minimal preparation include softer items like
bananas, mangos, strawberries, kiwis, apricots and
peaches.
Firm items like apples, pears or unripe peaches should first
be cooked until soft, to achieve the smoothest, frozen
results.
Cooking fruit is an opportunity to infuse it with flavors and
spices like cinnamon and nutmeg or fresh herbs like mint or
basil. If cooking fruit, chill before adding to the freezer bowl.
Harder items like coconut, hard-seeded items like
pomegranate, pulpy items like citrus, or fibrous items like
pineapple should be blended first or cut up into small
pieces and mixed in with other creamier fruits like bananas,
