Review: Makes My Homemade Ice Cream Taste Amazing - I’ve had my Sage Smart Scoop for almost a month now and have made a mint and dark chocolate ice cream, a dark cherry ice cream, a strawberry and cookie ice cream a few vanilla ice creams, plus one tropical fruits frozen yoghurt ice cream. All have been made easily, though the ice cream bucket of the Sage smart scoop isn’t dishwasher safe, but a quick wash up at the sink doesn’t take long. What do I think now I’ve had it a while? I like it, but making excellent ice cream is only ever as good as the ingredients you put in, not the machines ability to freeze and churn. It won’t come out like solid shop bought ice cream, or you’d never get it out of its bucket. It’s the consistency of ‘Mr Whippy’ ice cream when it’s done, which is fine to eat immediately or freeze in a litre ice cream tub (I have kept my shop bought ice cream tubs as they dishwasher clean up fine). Don’t ever use a box that’s had anything strong flavoured in like onions or spices though as ice cream will pick up the smell and flavour. What I was disappointed with was the lack of recipes in the box, in fact the lack of Heston Blumenthal anywhere in the instructions. Has Heston parted company with Breville’s Sage brand? However, nip off to Lakeland’s website and look up the info on Sage’s Smart Scoop Ice Cream Maker and you’ll find the original Heston’s recipes to download and print, but buy your ice cream maker from desertcart as they’re cheaper. I recommend the quick vanilla ice cream recipe using a can of condensed milk, with milk and whipping cream and plenty of vanilla extract for the perfect vanilla ice cream that’s dead easy to make, omit the vanilla and use it as a basis to many other flavours too like chocolate, strawberry, coffee, mint chip choc or whatever you fancy. You can mix in the ingredients before or add ‘add ins’ whilst the ice cream is churning it will let you know when to add things, like chocolate chips or fruit. I’ve found using frozen fruit from the supermarket works great in ice cream, as do cookies, mini marshmallows and fudge. Caramel and vanilla is heavenly too. I have yet to try a gelato or sorbet, but I will soon. It’s a worthwhile purchase for the quality of churned ice cream you can make with it, without the hassle of having to pre freeze a bowl in an ice cream maker without a compressor. I recommend putting the pre cool button on first, the machine then let’s you know when it’s ready for the ice cream mixture then simply press the start button. I haven’t tried the keep cool button as I tend to take the ice out and put it into a tub in the freezer. I have learnt that more vanilla extract or a drop of vodka to the mixture helps it freezing up rock hard, making it easier to scoop out once frozen in the freezer. I’ve had one experience of a crunching noise whilst it churned, but I think that was adding sticky ingredients like syrup which I think made it difficult for the blade to turn, I didn’t experience it the next ice cream I made. Stick to adding syrups after it has churned in the tub before freezing. Add sugar to the mixture and blend before churning. The times vary not just on type of ice cream but on the temperature outside the machine will affect it I’ve noticed. Hot days it takes longer. The most is 52 minutes plus pre freezing, so plan ahead if you want it after dinner. The ice cream van bell at the end is fun and makes all big kids smile, including me. Enjoy experimenting with your flavours and venture forward with making ‘proper’ ice cream making an egg ‘custard’ as a basis, I have tried ready made fresh custard from the supermarket, it doesn’t work well just frozen on its own. Stick with the condensed milk version to begin with until you feel more confident. I hope my review has been helpful, I know I rely on reviews too to make my mind up when purchasing on desertcart.
Review: In the end decided to go for Heston's version and am so glad I did - Thought for ages whether to go for this one or one of the cheaper ice cream makers. In the end decided to go for Heston's version and am so glad I did. I've made vanilla ice cream (quick version using just cream, condensed milk, milk and vanilla essence - no pre cooking, just pop it all in and off it goes). The vanilla ice cream took about an hour to make, but it was one of the hottest days so I would think slightly quicker on a cooler day. I've also made some 'skinny' strawberry ice cream - creme fraiche, strawberries and a couple of spoons of half spoon sugar. Again worked perfectly. Watermelon sorbet - just using watermelon and nothing else. This one turned more into watermelon granita than a sorbet but that might be because I was impatient for it to be done. The pre cool function is really good, as is the auto function and being able to just tell the machine whether you want sorbet, frozen yogurt, ice cream and the level of hardness you want and then off it goes. Has a really nifty keep cool function - most ice cream makers you have to take the finished article out as soon as its done otherwise it will melt - with this one it keeps it at the chosen setting for up to three hours. And it plays an old fashioned ice cream van tune when its finished I ordered on prime and had next day delivery - however, the box was delivered upside down. As it was a heavy box I couldn't see that the delivery driver would have turned it over when taking out of the van (why would he?), so I assumed that it was transported upside down too. Having read about this happening to someone else on the reviews I was aware that this could cause damage. I pointed out the fact that it was upside down to the delivery driver, and his reaction was to turn the box over (as if that would solve the problem!!). It clearly said on the box that it had to be kept the right way up. So I rejected the delivery as it would be a bit like receiving a freezer upside down and not knowing what damage had been done. I used the desertcart call back process to find out if I needed to reorder and they were really helpful. Original delivery was about 4.30 in the afternoon, they immediately reordered another for next day delivery and that one was sent by DPD. Was delivered around lunch time, the right way up. And I had checked that it wasn't the same one recycled for me as I took note of the item number on the original delivery item! You have to wait for 12 hours from removing from the box to use to allow the freezer compressor (or whatever its called) to settle, so the next day I was up and running with making ice cream. One previous review mentioned that the central pole in the bowl can't be removed. This is correct but I can't see that this will cause any issues as it is easy to remove all the ice cream from the pole once you have taken the mixing blade out so I don't see this as a problem. Best ice cream ever, and you know exactly what is in it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between breuville and sage, the product seems to me the same. and does this come with the eu socket?**
A: When I've downloaded the instructions from another site, it was called a Breville, so I'm guessing they're the same company

**Q: What are the dimensions of the appliance?**
A: its depend where you want to put it. it's a oke size 42x28 cm. (16.5x11inch) and its looks nice. I have it on my counter on a spot where you do not have to move it. so it will be used very often.

**Q: Is it possible to turn off the music?**
A: Check on JLewis reviews. I’m sure I saw someone on there say yes.

**Q: What makes it better than the cheaper Springlane Kitchen one?**
A: I can’t really compare since I only have the Sage. What I can say is that the Sage is a very good and effective machine, and that (hopefully) a higher price insures better quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good machine but needs effort from the cook!
*by A***O on 3 May 2016*

I have used other ice cream makers in the past, but having to freeze the bowls before hand really limited how I used them. This model is heavy, but that is to be expected given the built in compressor. It cools quickly to temperature, and when in auto mode, you can choose what type of ice cream you want to make and it will churn until the correct temperature and consistency is reached. However, like most things, the end result is only as good as the ingredients, and don't underestimate the skill and effort needed to make a good base. My issue is that most of the recipes I have found, especially for Gelato, result in an end product that is too eggy in flavour. This is most likely to do with when the custard base is being prepared and the egg is over-cooked. I consider myself a good cook but have not yet perfected this! The best revenue I have found was using the B&J non-custard base recipie, the book is available on Amazon and I'd recommend. Back to the device itself, my only problems with it are: - Noise, it really isn't the quietest - Paddle is difficult to get out of the mixture when it's done - Doesn't have a separate Gelato paddle, which Sage say isn't necessary but I'm not too sure Ultimately it's a very good machine, not sure if it's really worth the premium over other makes of the same type as I don't own those, but I consider the build quality and reputation to be good enough to believe it is
