Deni 5150 Automatic Ice Cream and Frozen Dessert Maker

Make classic chocolate or strawberry, or have fun inventing a new flavor with the Deni Automatic Ice Cream Maker. Equipped with a powerful motor and double-insulated gel cylinder, the machine turns basic ingredients into ice cream, sorbet, frozen cocktails and more in just 10-20 minutes. Unlike other ice cream makers, this model doesn't use salt or ice, and is fully automatic so there's no stirring or shaking necessary. Features a transparent lid to watch the freezing process, stainless steel ingredient canister, hidden cord storage and anti-skid rubber feet. Makes up to 1-1/2 quarts. Clear cover. Imported. 14Hx8Wx9L". Homemade ice cream is so rich-tasting and easy to make with this automatic ice cream machine that store-bought cartons will likely be a thing of the past. For ice cream, sorbet, flavored ice, or frozen drinks at the spur of the moment, dessert fans can store the 5150's canister in the freezer at all times; otherwise, the canister requires a minimum of 8 hours to freeze. The patented canister has walls that are liquid-filled for even freezing and double insulated to keep the bowl colder for a longer period of time. When ingredients are ready, the canister rests on the high-powered 48-watt motor base and the stir paddle fits inside the canister. The plastic lid locks over the canister and is clear for easily checking that desserts reach the proper custard-like thickness.

The simple control switch has only two positions-on or off-making this machine simple to operate. With the ice cream maker running, cooks pour their mixed recipes through the top of the lid and wait anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes for the ingredients to reach the proper consistency. The 5150 produces 1-1/2 quarts, which is equal to 10 servings, of the desired frozen dessert. Anti-slip rubber feet keep the maker from moving across the counter during mixing. Unlike more complicated ice cream makers, the Deni 5150 doesn't require hand cranking and needs no salt or ice in its recipes. This appliance comes with a recipe book and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
