theres a magi mix ice cream maker in the age uk shop should i buy? it can you make any low fat versions ie frozen yogurt or sorbet. I will eat too much if i make the full fat type too often.

[Ice]

Short answer, yes.  Long answer, snap it up if the price is reasonable.  Can't see any reason you would not be able to make low fat versions in it.

[Madame Cholet]

thanks it looked in good condition with instructions if its cheap i'll get it tomorrow. the're stuff is usually a good price

[Mrs Bee]

Yes you can make low fat versions using yoghurt, low fat creme fraiche or creamy sorbets using egg whites.

What sort of ice cream maker is it. Is it one of the ones that you have to freeze the bowl or one with a built in freezer?

I started with one of the freeze the bowl ones and took it back to J. Lewis as it was a pain in the 'arris to use.

I find the ones with the built in freezers much easier to use.

[Madame Cholet]

i'll have a look tomorrow i guess it wiil only be a few pounds. worth it to see if i use it enough or it goes in the back of the pantry with th juicer.

I find the ones with the built in freezers much easier to use.

But they are substantially more expensive to buy and we are not all in a position to do that.

You never know you might be really lucky and find it is one of the expensive ones. That would be a real find for you.

googled it anything from about £50.00 to £280.00 best shoot up there and grb it fast

I would say, "Go for it - if you want to put an end to drought in the South East"!!!  

This is based on the principle that if you take an umbrella with you it won't rain, but if you forget it, it will.  If you want it cold and wet, buy an ice-cream -maker....

However, if you get a good chocolate recipe, I'll happily test it for you

Sounds as if is the one with the freezer in as I believe the freeze the bowl types are are cheaper than £50. Could be wrong on that one mind.

GO grab it fast.

[Madame Cholet]

will report back tomorrow chears.

[Madame Cholet]

 it was guess not £10 not ££5 only £3 its 1. you have to freeze the bowl but thats ok  theres only 2 of us so its ok

[Spana]

Thats an excellent buy for £3. :happy:

I've got 2 that have to have the bowl frozen and i get on fine with them. One i bought new and got on so well with it that i got another from fleebay. Keep the bowl and paddle in the freezer if you can, then its always ready to go.  If the ingredients are very cold mine makes ice cream in20 -25 mins. 

 

Try making sorbet in it,  its delicious and low fat and calorie.
