Making up to 1-1/2 quarts of ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, sorbet, or frozen drinks at home takes only 20 to 30 minutes with this appliance, and salt and ice are not needed. After the machine's chilling chamber has been in the freezer for about nine hours, the liquid between its walls is thoroughly frozen. The paddle then goes into the chamber attached to the power head. The transparent cover is locked in place, and the machine is turned on. Ingredients go into the chamber through an opening in the cover as the paddle turns. The chamber chills the ingredients to whatever consistency is desired--though dense treats are hard to make because the paddle churns in air.

Chocolate chips, chopped fruit, nuts, and other special ingredients can be added toward the end. Storing the chamber in the freezer ensures a frozen confection is only 20 to 30 minutes away when the mood strikes. The machine measures 8 inches in diameter and 8 inches high. It carries a one-year warranty against defects. An instruction booklet featuring many recipes is included. --Fred Brack Delonghi 1.5 quart Ice Cream maker serves 6 to 10 people.
