Cuisinart ICE-RFB 1-1/2-Quart Additional Freezer Bowl, Fits ICE-20/21 Ice Cream Maker

So many more uses!
While I do have the ice cream maker, I ordered an additional freezer bowl to have on hand. It is helpful if you want to make two flavors of ice cream, or if you want to cool the warm custard for vanilla ice cream before you freeze it.

I have also used this container to quickly cool items (like Jello which must be cooled for a mousse, raspberry mousse comes to mind :) in a metal bowl. Place any metal bowl on the top of this container. It will be stable and the bowl will get ice cold. The contents will then cool very quickly.

Try this bowl to cool down custard when you are filling pastries. Just pour in the custard and stir with a spatula for a few minutes. Soon, you have creamy, cold custard to fill those pastries.

I recommend keeping one of these in the freezer at all times. There are just so many more uses! Use it everytime you need to cool a liquid quickly. You will love the results.

Let me explain...
I have had this ice cream maker for over a year. I LOVE IT. I have also had to replace the freezer bowl twice and the latest bowl (#3) is now unusable. In theory, the extra bowl is a wonderful idea. I give it 5 stars. In reality, when plastic is cold it is FRAGILE. The plastic that is the outer cover of this bowl is so fragile it will crack if you LOOK at it sideways. All three bowls have cracked. (My machine came with a cracked bowl which was replaced by the merchant.) They were not cracked by extra-ordinary measures. One slid out of the freezer when the door was opened (it dropped about a foot), one bumped the side of the stainless steel sink when I was rinsing the outside off under the faucet and one slipped from my hand and dropped a couple of inches to the table top. When they are cracked, the liquid that between the layers runs out and turns into a crystalized mess. For what it has cost in bowls ... and the original machine, I could have THREE of the complete ice cream...

Also Works with Cuisinart Ice-21
I verified directly with Cuisinart Customer Service (20 minute wait on hold) that this Cuisinart 1-1/2 Quart Additional Freezer Bowl fits not only the ICE-20, but also the Ice-21. I'll know for sure when it arrives.
