2. CUISINARTGELATO &ICE-CREAMPROFESSIONALICE100BCUUnlike the KitchenAid,this maker uses acompressor system,so there’s no need topre-freeze the bowl.You have to serve upthe mixture quickly,as it only stays coolfor ten minutes or so,but the ice-creamchurned beautifully.“This was myfavourite machine,”says Lanlard.

1. KITCHENAID4.8L STANDMIXER + ICE-CREAM MAKERThis stand mixer hasan add-on ice-creammaker, so althoughit’s expensive, itis versatile. The4.8-litre bowl mustsit in the freezer for12 hours before use,so planning ahead isessential. Chef ÉricLanlard thought itsice-cream set tooquickly, as “it wasn’tas creamy and fluffyas the other makers”.

4. KENWOODICE-CREAMMAKER IM200The bowl on thismaker does needfreezing for 12 hoursbeforehand, but itwas the fastestmodel at churningice-cream. As it wasso powerful, Lanlardfelt that theice-cream came out alittle too set, so thetexture wasn’t ascreamy as thatproduced by the othermodels. It’s also verynoisy at 92 decibels.

5. SWAN COMEDINE WITH MEICE-CREAM &GELATO MAKERWhat makes thismachine stand out isthe way the bowlrotates when mixing,while the paddlesremain stationary.“This could be whythe ice-cream was solight,” says Lanlard.It was the loudestunit on test, gettingeven louder as theice-cream set, so it’sprobably not ideal forsmaller kitchens.
