How to Use Cuisinart Ice-cream Maker

It can be very convenient and healthy to have your own ice cream maker because with this kitchen appliance, you get to decide what ingredients should go into your cold treats. You also get to enjoy ice cream any time. Cuisinart is one of the leading manufacturers of the best ice cream makers on the market. Cuisinart ice cream makers are compact, easy to use, and versatile, too, with many models doubling as yoghurt makers. They are made with BPA-free plastics and come with a double-insulated freezer bowl, which helps maintain cold temperatures while the mixture is being churned.

Each Cuisinart ice cream maker comes with instructions on how to use and operate the machine. Look at the instructions or the user manual for proper use and cleaning, as some models may come with special instructions. In general, though, it is very easy to use a Cuisinart ice cream maker. Below are the steps:

•    Rinse the freezer bowl that comes with the Cuisinart ice cream maker. If this is your first time to use the bowl right from the package or from storage, be sure to dust it off and rinse it before use.
•    Plug the machine to the correct electrical socket. You do not need to add salt or ice into a Cuisinart ice cream maker due to its built-in cooling system.
•    Combine the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Be sure to stir well before placing the mixture into the ice cream maker.
•    Pour the mixture into the freezer bowl that comes with the Cuisinart ice cream maker.
•    Switch the ice cream maker on, then let it work on the mixture for around 20 to 25 minutes (or until the mixture thickens).
•    If you are not eating the ice cream immediately, transfer it from the bowl into a container that is freezer-safe and store it in the freezer for up to two hours.

7 Advantages of Using Induction Cookware

Cookware manufacturers indicate whether their product is ideal for electric, gas, or induction cooking. If you have an induction cooking stove, you should use only cookware that is labelled specifically for induction stoves or plates. There are several kinds of induction cookware available, from sauté pans to tajines, grills, poaching pans, stockpots, kettles, and woks. Here are the seven biggest advantages of using induction cookware:

1.    Cook meals with less energy: Induction cooking uses much less energy and is more efficient as it heats only the vessel. Heat is evenly distributed and maintained throughout.

2.    Safer: Induction cooking does not produce any open flames, so you can prevent fires and burns. And because it heats only the cooking vessel, it does not contribute to additional heat in the kitchen, unlike when you use traditional pots and pans on a typical stove, scattering heat to the surroundings.

3.    No wasted heat: Induction cookware absorbs the energy from the stove through a magnetic field, so all the heat is transferred and contained in the cooking vessel. This can result in having a cooler kitchen and a cool stovetop right after cooking, so you can prevent burning your fingers when you accidentally touch the hot plate.

4.    Cook faster: The method of cooking and heat transfer helps make the food cook faster, so you can prepare meals fast.

5.    Cost effective: Induction cookware contributes to energy savings. Gas stoves only produce 43 percent of energy to the pan, while electric stoves produce approximately 44 to 53 percent. Induction cooktops can produce almost 80 percent of energy that you spend for cooking.

6.    Heat remains consistent: Induction cookware is made of high-quality materials that naturally conduct heat to consistently heat the entire vessel. This prevents hot spots and uneven heat production.

7.    Portability: Induction cookers are portable. You can easily pack them for camping or use them in recreational vehicles and boats.
