i really want this to make pretty ice cream cones...is this suitable? does this make crisp cones that can handle melting ice cream
1984494
Yes, absolutely! I always eat these with ice cream-chocolate mint chip to be exact.
1984495
it doesnt tightly close at all, its very loosely closed with hole at bottom. also KrumKake dough isnt hearty enough for ice cream to be on it
1984496
Yes. There are several recipes included with this device; one is specifically for ice cream cones as it is heavier than the typical Krumkake. I have only made the Krumkake - loved the efficiency and consistency!
1984497
We make the krumkakes very thin and this would make a wonderful ice cream cone.
1984498
Yes!!! Just add more batter each time (probably double the amount) for each cone, use the maximum setting, maybe DON'T press down the clip, just close the lid and wait. I have made many cones before and really enjoyed them. Tip: for Krumkake size, I use a chopstick to roll instead of the cone that came with the machine. A chopstick makes the Krumkake a little easier to eat and store. Hope this helps!!!

not really designed for ice cream cones, more for thin crisp brittle cookies. great for Krumkake, would suggest different model for Ice cream cones.

The name says it all, (krumkake) it is a very fragile cookie and crumbles very easily. I don't think it would make a suitable cone for ice cream.

I think it depends on the recipe you use. If the batter is thick, then yes, a cone can be used, but it will be more porous than the ice cream comes you buy.mmitmworks well for a whip cream filling.

They'll make lovely ice cream cones, but they won't quite seal closed at the bottom, at least mine never have. I usually stuff a mini marshmallow in the bottom to catch the drips :)

Sent mine back...Tried ice cream, gelato, & frozen custard...chilled ingredients first, ice crystals formed in all 3 recipes but didn't solidify...i like soft ice cream but all 3 efforts had the consistency of frozen slushies. Maybe it was the unit, but wasn't willing to retry. My sense is that the compressor was fine, but the small paddle was plastic and not powerful enough to actual churn the mixture adequately.

Yes it would, I just had a slushie made on this model at a friend's place, which is why I'm snagging one now. Just look up "slush syrup" or "snow cone syrup"... the options are limitless. You can also use juice, which I have to say is pretty great. Pineapple and orange in a slush, with a bit of simple syrup and lemon juice is awesome. (simple syrup: cook equal amounts of sugar and water for about 15 minutes below a simmer)

Yes, and I have made a lot of great ice cream. However, I have had to do it manually; with the crank. The motor broke after about five uses.

Dear Leesa,Yes it can. Here is a review from one of our satisfied customers:This ice cream mix is VERY yummy and VERY easy to make! We used it in the Cuisinart Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine and it was fabulously rich!Regards, DianeCustomer Care

i went through several different ones, and i can say this one is the best for making snow cones. regular ice cubes go in perfect. you will love it.

Yes..it is designed to bake In the oven...but mine is broken and I cannot use it. We have a friend that said he will spot weld it for me. We will see what happens. You ca bake cake batter in ice cream cones with this holding them upright in the oven. It would be great if not broken.

That's actually happened to me! To the best if my knowledge, the machine doesn't produce as small and fine an ice as is needed for a proper snow cone. Melting it slightly by pouring the syrup on top causes it to melt back into chunks

The pail is aluminum, and freezes the ice cream fast. The length of time the mixture is in the pail is really not enough for me to worry about. We bought this so we can make our own without all the additives and make coconut milk ice cream as well. It makes great quality ice cream.

This is a terrific scoop, well made but......it won't last very long if used on hard ice cream.Your best bet for a ice cream scoop is one without moving parts and very solid.

It's like what comes out of refrigerator door ice crushers. It's not fine like a snow cone...it's perfect for mixed drinks.

I don't know. All I have used it for is jellies and jams. I would think it would work great if one were making cottage cheese or cheese curds so maybe it would be okay for pudding.

I think the secret to good ice cream with this machine might be to start out with a good, thick custard. I just made the vanilla bean "premium ice cream" (page 8 in the cusinart instructions/recipe book) and it came out great-I substituted 1/2 and 1/2 for the heavy cream and milk (cheaper that way) and used 1 tsp of vanilla instead of vanilla bean. Other than that-I followed the instructions exactly. After 30 minutes in the machine-it came out somewhere between soft and hardserve-so I am letting it firm up in the freezer. Tastes delicious (I ate about 1 cup before I put it away).

Yes, with a strong blender. It is easy to dissove in milk,so I'm sure ice cream wouldn't be a problem. I am assuming this is for a shake?

I have one of these waffle cone makers and bought one for my son-in-law for Christmas. We love it since we make homemade ice cream and wanted homemade waffle cones to go with. Easy to make and better tasting then the ones from the ice cream stores. My one suggestion is, be careful and use them quickly when the weather is humid since they get limp.

The same thing happened to me. The ice cream mix must also be very cold. I always make custard which is cooked. It takes several hours to cool sufficiently - overnite is best. I love this machine but it is not a spur of the moment dessert. Hope this helps.

From my point of view, it is more work than it's worth. All of my recipes are for 4 or 6 quart machines, so none will work with this unit. Purchased mixes don't taste as good to me as my homemade from scratch ones. No ice, no salt is true, but you have to freeze the insulated mixing bowl for a minimum of 12 hours before using it. 24 hours works better, and then refreeze the contents you don't use right away, in the bowl, so you can dispense them using the machine again. Plus, it's mostly plastic. If you drop it, it breaks and needs to be replaced. My opinion, stay with a 4 or 6 quart electric machine that lasts and produces more ice cream.
