Product Information
Full details
The Andrew James Ice Cream Maker is designed for home cooks who want to experiment with custom flavours for ice cream, gelato, frozen yoghurt, and sorbet without the expense of commercial-grade equipment. It provides the key benefit of rapid churning, producing up to 1.5 litres of frozen dessert in just 20-30 minutes, though it does require significant planning because the bowl must be pre-frozen for at least eight hours before use.

FAQs
How long does the bowl need to be in the freezer?
It needs to be in the freezer for a minimum of 8 hours, though 24 hours is recommended for optimal performance.
Can I make more than one batch at a time?
No, the bowl must be completely refrozen between batches, which takes several hours.
Can I use this machine for sorbet?
Yes, it is perfectly suitable for making sorbet, frozen yoghurt, and gelato in addition to traditional ice cream.
Is the bowl dishwasher safe?
No, you should hand wash the bowl in warm soapy water. Dishwasher heat can damage the coolant inside the bowl walls.
Do I have to add ingredients while the machine is running?
Yes, adding ingredients through the funnel while the paddle is turning ensures they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Troubleshooting
The mixture is not freezing properly
Ensure the bowl was pre-frozen for at least 8 hours and that your freezer is set to the coldest temperature setting.
The machine stops churning mid-process
The mixture may be too thick or you may have added too many large ingredients. Ensure ingredients are chopped finely and the motor is not being overloaded.
The lid is difficult to lock into place
Check that the paddle is correctly aligned with the motor spindle and the bowl; clear away any frozen residue from the rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Pre-freezing: Place the empty freezing bowl in the coldest part of your freezer for at least 8 to 24 hours. The bowl must be completely frozen; if you can hear liquid sloshing inside when you shake it, it is not ready.
- Assembly: Place the motor unit onto the lid, insert the mixing paddle into the bowl, and secure the lid by twisting it into the locked position.
- Operation: Always start the machine before pouring in your chilled ingredients to prevent the base from freezing to the inner wall immediately.
- Care: After use, turn off and unplug the unit. Wash the paddle and bowl with warm, soapy water. Do not put the bowl in the dishwasher, as the high heat can damage the freezing coolant. Always dry the bowl completely before returning it to the freezer for your next session.
