Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Panasonic BH-941P Ice Cream Maker
Customer Review: A Great Appliance
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a serious kitchen appliance that lets you make ice cream at home exactly to your taste. If you start with the basic provided recipie you can later adjust the mixture to suit your specific taste. I found the basic vanilla recipie much too sweet and have cut the sugar in half to make a better product. Egg yolks are recommended but they make the ice cream too heavy and rich. Raw egg yolks are not safe and must be pre-cooked to a custard like texture. A smalll pinch of clear gelatine can safely replace the egg yolks with no need for heating and no loss of smooth texture. The unit is small and will only make just over a pint. If you want to host a big desert, you may have to batch a few containers. Thus you can try several flavors. You should prepare the ice crem at least a day before to let it harden in a covered container in the freezer serving dish. The battery will only last for perhaps 20 batches but you can buy a charger and special rechargeable batteries to get up to 1,000 charges. Heavy cream prices used to be very high however I find that if you buy by the quart, heavy cream costs can compete with factory made ice cream, and if you do it right, can give you a lot more options and a better product. One more tip. The stainless steel base is marked with a top level maximum fill line. Experiment all you want, but you should never fill the tub above this line if yoou want the machine to work properly.
Description of Panasonic BH-941P Ice Cream Maker
Panasonic BH-941P, battery operated, 1.5 pint capacity. Makes delicious ice cream in 3 easy steps. Works automatically in the freezer.Tidy, cordless, and easy to put into action, this Panasonic ice cream maker is a refreshing alternative to its hulking all-in-one countertop cousins. Though it requires more steps than the models where you throw in ingredients and go, this little maker is both smart and efficient, making up to 3 cups of ice cream or sorbet in a few hours. Combining a stainless steel bowl and a battery-powered mixing unit, the appliance features a dual-fin stirring spatula to thoroughly mix ingredients during freezing. A microprocessor gauges the consistency of the dessert as it hardens, so no monitoring is necessary. The battery pack is compact and removable, and the other components feel sturdy and well designed.
Included with the ice cream maker is a clear step-by-step instruction guide and a colorful booklet of recipes to get you started. Most of these require mixing or beating of ingredients before placement in the freezer bowl, but the labor is far from intensive. Once ingredients are ready, simply turn on the power, put the bowl in the freezer, and come back in 3 to 5 hours. Impressively compact for easy storage, the ice cream maker measures just 5-1/4 inches high and 6-1/2 inches in diameter. Panasonic includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
