Fill quantity? I know its 2Q machine, but does anyone know if their is a guideline, like just covering mixing blade or do not cover mixing blade ETC?

I was told by the manufacturer that you should only put 4 cups of base in at a time . The ic will freeze faster and better that way.

1 qt will about cover the blade. 3 cups is about the minimum batch size. Because of the shape of the blade, batches less than three cups will spin and freeze but with very little overrun (aeration).

You will definitely cover the mixing blade with a 2Q fill, and that is normal. If you're mixing a smaller quantity, you will have more success if you cover the blade (about 1Q).

It is not marked in any way. We've filled it to just below the top of the mixer (about 3/8" down) to prevent spillage. Due to the speed of the blade, if it's to full, it will spill over. This isn't a real problem, just wipe it off. The most important thing is to Enjoy your frozen treat. We just love getting creative, 2 quarts at a time.

We fill 2/3 which covers the blades but allows for volume as the base freezes

HI JH,I have a line of these machines for my store and never put 2 quarts of custard in them (I believe the yield once churned is 2 quarts but that doesn't mean you put 2 quarts of custard in to churn as it will expand quite a bit). For best results you want to cover the mixing blade upto halfway up the curved portion (of the blade). If you want to be meticulous, and similarly for best results use 4 cups of custard (1 liter) for each churn.

There is not a fill line.I always leave part of the higher blade tip exposed so that when it freezes it does not push the lid off with the expanded volume

2 quarts is about right, 2.5 qt can fit, make sure to plan for expansion/overrun

I filled it to the mimimum line. The provided about 6 of their waxes. I think I used 4. I do not change the wax after each use.

none. I went to use it as a replacement as suggested by the manufacturer, but it doesn't fit in the machine.

well if you are making say 30 ml you would use maybe 1 -8 drops depending on flavor and the mix you are creating i ordered small graduated pipettes to make xtra small drops

Hi, Stacey... we returned this product to the manufacturer and opted to go for a self-stirring model that also provided for more than 10 ppm silver with a clear solution. We purchased our second unit from a different vender.

All the rocks are intended for 1 batch. I was able to go out and find extras and add them to the same batch as I still had some room left. I found that after adding the rocks I had only filled it 1/2 full and the instructions stated 3/4 full so I added some more.

Thank you so much for the Overstock info. Your kindness made it possible for me to order this mixer, which I've been eyeing for 2 months. I am 60 and this will be my first stand mixer. Look out world!

Probably two orders of this would do that. Depends how thick you want your mold. When making molds always get more than you think you need. If you're pouring the mold and you run out then the mold is incomplete and useless. I don't know where you live but ordering directly from smoothon is usually faster. They have facilities in Texas and Pennsylvania. You can't beat their products.

use a Super Thinset and Grout Mixer Mixing Paddle. I mix 20 to 30 bags a week for my job. forget the Wheel burro and hoe or shovel. just not practical.

I put the water in first and then dump all the formula on top. And like the other poster said, make sure you adjust the little stopper piece so you can pull the blade all the way up if you're making a larger portion. Just push it up and down slowly the first few times so the formula doesn't creep up the side and then you're good to go.

I think I used 3 of the big bags of filler....each bag is like $16 at Wal-Mart...It is a little tricky to fill.....do it outside and use a large paper funnel or something to keep them contained:) Good time!

I did NOT use on HE machine. Another strange thing about directions or lack thereof, is to use one scoop per load. Load sizes vary, so I wondered about this and would add more or less as needed.

We used ice chips first, and no; 12 did not fill the box. You could add more to completely fill the box, however 12 won't make enough. Also where you put the ice in is a bit small, so maybe you're supposed to put in more than one load of ice to get the desired amount. We had this machine for a very short time, and its overall performance was disappointing.

Hi Loretta, we usually double the amount called for in the recipe. And on the back of the package it also says to do the same thing. I'd recommend making a test recipe so you can see how your recipe turns out (if you're baking for a crowd or other event). Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly it comes with 2 of them but once you use them once they are done. The smart thing to do would be to also purchase the extra mixing nozzles, they come like 8 to a bag and are only like $15 or so. A good idea if you don't think you will use all of the adhesive at once and you will want to use it again for other projects.

I really couldn't tell you. I haven't used it yet. If you are just doing one layer of icing, I'd say it's enough. If you are mixing colors to pipe designs on, then you may want to purchase another bag for back-up.

The mixture does mix well. The noise level is about a 5 or so ( no louder than our old Sunbeam. The only complaint I have is that if you are using the plastic "guard cover" it is very difiucult to add additional ingredients with the mixer running. So I just cut it off and raise the guard and add them. If you decide that you want the smaller mixing bowl for this unit be sure and check with the Oster people for the new bowl. I understand the small bowl will not fit the new model.
