FREEZING TIME AND BOWL PREPARATION
The freezer bowls must be completely frozen before you begin your recipe. The length of time needed to reach the frozen state depends on how cold your freezer is. For the most convenient frozen desserts and drinks, leave your freezer bowls in the freezer at all times. You can take them out any time for immediate use. In general, freezing time is about 24 hours. To determine whether the bowl is completely frozen, shake it. If you do not hear liquid moving, the cooling liquid is frozen. Before freezing, wash and dr y the bowl. Wrap it in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. We recommend that you place the freezer bowls in the back of your freezer where it is coldest.
Reminder: Your freezer should be set to 0°F to ensure proper freezing of all foods.
MAKING FROZEN DESSERTS OR DRINKS
1. Prepare recipe ingredients from pages that follow or from your own recipe. Cuisinart recipes begin on page 5. If you use your own recipe, be
sure it yields 1 quart or less. For best results, prepare ingredients in a container that is easy to pour from.
2. Remove the freezer bowl(s) from the freezer. (Remove plastic bag if you have wrapped freezer bowls.) Place freezer bowls on the center of the base.
NOTE: Bowls will begin to defrost quickly once they have been removed
from freezer. Use them immediately after removing from freezer.
3. Place mixing arm(s) in freezer bowl(s). Arm does not fit tightly. It just rests in the center of the bowl, with the circle side facing up.
4. Place lid(s) on base. Easy-lock lid mechanism allows lids to rest on base in one position. Set lid(s) slightly off center and turn clockwise to lock in place.
5. Choose the one- or two-bowl switch position. If you choose one bowl only, use the right side of the unit. Always select this prior to turning on
the unit.
6. Press ON/OFF switch. Freezer bowls will begin to turn. If you chose to
make only one batch, only the right bowl will begin to turn.
7. Immediately pour ingredients through ingredient spout(s).
8. Frozen desserts or drinks will be done in 20 to 30 minutes. The time will
depend on the recipe, and the volume of the dessert or drink you are mak­ing. When the mixture has thickened to your liking, it is done. If you desire a firmer consistency, transfer the dessert or drink to an airtight container and store in the freezer for two or more hours.
NOTE: Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl. Desserts and drinks will stick to the side of the freezer bowl and may damage the bowl. Store only in a plastic, airtight container.
ADDING INGREDIENTS
Ingredients such as chips and nuts should be added about 5 minutes before the recipe is complete. Once the dessert or drink has begun to thicken, add the ingredients through the ingredient spout. Nuts and other ingredients should be no larger than a chocolate chip.
SAFETY FEATURE
The Cuisinart® Flavor Duo™ is equipped with a safety feature that automatically stops the unit if the motor overheats. This may occur if the desser t or drink is extremely thick, if the unit has been running for an excessively long period of time, or if added ingredients (nuts, etc.), are in extremely large pieces. To reset the unit, put the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Let the unit cool off. After a few minutes, you may turn the unit on again and continue making the dessert or drink.
CLEANING STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean the freezer bowls, mixing arms and lids in warm, soapy water. DO NOT PUT FREEZER BOWLS IN THE DISHWASHER. DO NOT CLEAN WITH
4
ABRASIVE CLEANSERS OR IMPLEMENTS. Wipe motor base clean with damp cloth. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Storage
DO NOT put freezer bowls in freezer if bowls are wet. DO NOT store lids, mixing arms, or base in freezer. You may store the freezer bowls in the freezer for convenient, immediate use. Before freezing, wrap the bowls in a plastic bag to prevent freezer burn. Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowls in the freezer for more than 30 minutes at a time. Transfer frozen desserts or drinks to an airtight container for longer storage in the f ree zer.
Maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service repre­sentative.
RECIPE TIPS
The recipes that follow offer you a variety of options for delicious frozen drinks and desserts. You may create or use recipes of your own, as long as they yield no more than 1 quart.
Recipe Tips
®
• Frozen desserts from the Cuisinart Because of this, the desserts and drinks do not have the same characteristics as commercially prepared frozen desserts and drinks. Most store-bought versions use gums and preservatives to make them firmer. If you desire a
firmer consistency, transfer the dessert or drink to an airtight container and store in the freezer until desired consistency is reached, usually two or more hours.
• Some recipes use precooked ingredients. For best results, the mixture should be chilled overnight before using. Or, chill the recipe over an ice bath, until it is completely cooled, before using.
• To make an ice bath, fill a large container with ice and water. Place saucepan or other container into the ice bath. Cool precooked ingredients completely.
• Prior to freezing, most recipes may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• You may substitute lower-fat creams (e.g., half and half) and milk (reduced fat
Flavor Duo™ use pure, fresh ingredients.
or lowfat) for heavy cream and whole milk used in many recipes. However, keep in mind that the higher the fat content, the richer and creamier the result. Using lower-fat substitutes may change the taste, consistency and texture of the dessert. When substituting, be sure to use the same volume of the sub­stitute as you would have used of the original item. For example, if the recipe calls for 2 cups of cream, use a total of 2 cups of the substitute (such as 1 cup cream, 1 cup whole milk).
• You may substitute artificial sweeteners for sugar. If the recipe is to be pre­cooked, add the sweetener after the heating process is complete and ingredi­ents have cooked. Stir the mixture thoroughly to dissolve the sweetener.
• In recipes that use alcohol, add the alcohol during the last 2 minutes of mixing. Otherwise, the alcohol may impede the freezing process.
• When making sorbet, be sure to test the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit before you use it. The freezing process reduces the sweetness of the fruit so that it will taste less sweet than the recipe mixture. If the fruit tastes tart, add sugar to the recipe. If the fruit is very ripe or sweet, reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
• The Cuisinar t recipes listed below will yield up to 1 quart of dessert or drink. When pouring ingredients in through the ingredient spout, DO NOT fill the freezer bowl higher than ¼" from the top of the freezer bowl. The ingredients will increase in volume during the freezing process.
• When making more than one recipe at a time, be sure the freezer bowl is completely frozen before each use.
• Make sure mixing arm and lid are in place and that you have chosen the one- or two-bowl button position before turning on machine.
• Well-chilled mixtures may require shorter mixing times.
