Have followed all the directions. How do I keep the recipe from freezing to the floor/walls of the canister and jamming the paddle?

Is the canister too cold? Only used our machine once and it wasn't cold enough to freeze the ice cream! But, seems like there were directions for how long to freeze the canister before making ice cream?

Tammy, I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps

Ours has worked quite well with water. We haven't had any freezes yet, but I plan to empty before that happens...since water expands when it freezes, I don't want to rupture the seams.

Hi Kathryn! There is an online eguide with instructions, but be sure that the purée is cooled before pouring it or putting the lid on (the steam can create the ice crystals), make sure it's not filled too full by smoothing over the top with a silicone spatula (overfilling won't allow the lid to close fully, and store in tray for no more than two weeks. Here's the link to the instructions guide from the manufacturer. http://www.mumiandbubi.co.nz/recipeguide.htmI've had great luck with my trays (& using these tricks!). Hope that helps!

I have had my machine for several years now and do not have this problem. A few times the paddles have stuck in the bottom of the baked loaf of bread, just don't ever use anything metal to get them out so you don't compromise the coating on the paddles.

When you put it in the freezer, don't close it all the way. Wait a bit then close it so the moisture doesn't freeze in grooves.

make sure the paddle is pushed down all the way. I did not have that problem, but I might try removing the paddle anyway so there is not a hole in the bread from the paddle, haha

I started with warm water and let it cool to the desired temp. If I noticed that it got too cool I put a towel over the container to keep some heat.

I cut down on sugar considerably in my recipe. To keep it from freezing solid I use a product called Cremodan, available here on Amazon. It's a mix of gums and other stabilizers, and you only need a little in each batch. My froyo still freezes very firm (my recipe is also very low fat), but it's not fully solid so I can still scoop off the top with a good scoop.

Depending on the recipe, you may need to do two cycles or at least a portion of the second cycle. The machine will let you know when the mixture is so frozen that the paddles will no longer move. Additionally, i always put it in containers and put it in the freezer. I have made so many different flavors of ice creams with my WHYNTER and have had no problems. i did my due diligence prior to buying it & it was ranked #1 by COOKS & CONSUMERS. Anytime i make a purchase, those are the two best sources to check.

I've had the exact same problem. I just used a clip to keep it closed. Also thinking of transferring it into a freezer bag since I store it in the freezer.

Thanks for the replies. Haven't had good results freezing store bought hot dog buns but hopefully these will keep better. I had the same thought about using foil. Haven't used the pan yet but may try a half recipe after the first one, that fifth one can always go to the birds, lol.

I would ensure that the paddle is firmly attached. Also check the position of the top of the canister. It has two grooves on either side. Check the position. I hope this works.

Keep adding ice. You could also freeze what u make and pull out at the desired solid state

I haven't noticed it forming any ice crystals, and I've used it about 10 times.You can't control the speed of the paddle - I've been happier when I've started with a cold mixture, than with room temperture ingredients.

Just take stick and dip. Use a cup (Dixie or small solo)-I always wait until I get result before I dump it out. Make sure your don't dip past the max line. If you get the whole stick wet, it won't work at all.

If you're also pouring the mixture in pre-chilled, then the machine may be shot. I got my first one of these freezers just before last Christmas. It made two batches just fine and then the freezing mechanism in the base stopped working. Cuisinart replaced the unit (I had to pay shipping both ways) so I'm giving them one more chance as it's a sweet little machine when it works. Good luck.

Looks like you've got some good answers! I don't have a very good set up to do that due to a kitchen planning flaw that doesn't allow the freezer door to open fully. *sigh*
