HELPFUL HINTS
Recipe Tips
• Prepare your recipe in a separate container.
• Do not exceed the quantities provided in the recipes.
• For best results, the mixture should be chilled until it reaches 32-
40°F. Depending on the recipe, we recommend chilling the recipe
for 2-5 hours in the refrigerator or 1/2 - 1 hour in the freezer. An
instant read thermometer is convenient to use when checking the
temperature.
• Some recipes require the mixture to be pre-cooked. For best
results, make the recipe at least one day ahead. This will allow the
mixture time to cool completely.
• When using eggs in a recipe, make sure they are properly cooked.
Heat until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7
minutes.
• The ice cream mixture will stay fresh in the refrigerator for several
days. Be sure to shake well before pouring into the unit.
• The flavor of sorbet or sherbet will depend greatly on the ripeness
and sweetness of the fruit and/or juice. If fruit is too tart, add sugar;
if the fruit is very ripe, decrease or omit sugar. Freezing subdues
sweetness, so the recipe will not be quite as sweet when frozen.
Freezing Tips
• The freezing process will take anywhere from 20-30 minutes. The
time it takes depends greatly upon the ambient temperature, type
of recipe, chill time, and temperature of the mixture.
• Make sure the Gel Disc is placed in the upside down position when
freezing.
• Make sure the Gel Disc is completely dry before freezing. If a white
frost appears, remove it with a spatula.
• Make sure the unit is running and the Mixing Paddle is turning as
the mixture is being poured into the unit.
• Replace the Ingredient Scoop into the Lid while the unit is
operating.
• To store prepared ice cream, place it in an airtight container.
