Well, I the general consesus seems to be that I should have frozen the
bowl 48 hours, not 24. Next time the bowl will be well frozen because
I plan to store it in the freezer. This is turning out to be as much
trouble as ice and salt... just less noisy. Maybe I need that self
contained contraption after all!

I keep my bowl in the freezer all the time. If you have the room it's
much easier and you can make ice cream on short notice. Or at least you
don't have to plan quite as far in advance.

i keep the bowl in the freezer at all times also.
the time it takes to cool down the mixture is the hard part for me.
do you get your ice cream mixture cool in the freezer also? (before pouring
it in the bowl)

I thought that I had lucked out with a second machine. My mother had the
newer, larger Cuisinart ice cream maker and when we cleaned out her condo,
no one else was interested in it so I took it. I stuck the freezer bowl
into the freezer immediately. About a week later I made a batch of ice
cream base, let it cool overnight and the next morning I poured the base
into the new freezer bowl, assembled the rest of the parts and flipped the
switched. There was a humming sound, but no rotation. I hd to quickly
scrape out the custard and put it into my old freezer bowl and use the old
machine. The bowl has quite a bit higher capacity that the old machine and
the socket for the drive motor is larger so they are not interchangeable.
Dang!

When I cook the ice cream one day, I then put it into the refrigerator
overnight. I churn it (in the Cuisnart) the next day early, put it into a
plastic covered bowl for serving that second day.
It's best not to be in a hurry.

Do you have a full sized freezer plus the one in your refrigerator?

Waiting for it to cool is the hard part, but so necessary. I usually
cool the mix in the refrigerator overnight. If I want ice cream faster
I will find a recipe that doesn't require cooking, but those just don't
seem to taste as good.

We have two refrigerators, one in the kitchen and one in the garage.
