Question 1

Is Cuisinant ICE-30BC machine easier  than Cuisinart ICE-21 to use ?

Accepted Answer

They both look exactly the same in function, its just the 21 is a bit smaller and has more plastic.  Check this guy's video on Youtube and it breaks down the ICE-21.  http://youtu.be/jPPdSCHBTR4And he did the same for the ICE-30BC:     http://youtu.be/Q40vHKdJmpY

Question 2

my machine will not freeze the mixture after the tub in freezer for a week. its like cold milk with some ice. two different batches same results.Why?

Accepted Answer

I always make sure my gel is good and frozen, I make the mixture and put mixture in stainless steel bowl and put in freezer for about 30 mins to an hour u can tell the mixture kinda starts to thicken up then I pull gel bowl out and churn. Also I make sure my whole milk and heavy cream are REALLY COLD like I don't make it the day I buy milk from store so all this can make or break ur Ice cream.... another thing I like to do to make creamier ice cream is use half and half instead of whole milk. Yummmmy...

Question 3

Is the interior of the mixing bowl stainless steel?

Accepted Answer

The interior of the mixing bowl scratched after first use.  So I don't think it is stainless steel

Question 4

Why won't my lid stay on? 
It acts like either the paddle is too long or the freezer has swelled. My wife and I have both tried and it doesn't matte

Accepted Answer

We have had this machine for 8 years, make ice cream at least once a month or more if holidays & birthdays. I have never had a problem with the freezer part swelling nor the paddle not setting in correctly and don't have a problem with the lid.
we wash and dry the freezer bowl and put it in a zip lock bag and stick it in the freezer for the next time. We have two freezer bowls so we can make 1 gallon at a time.
