I think the gripe about waiting 24hrs is ridiculous. I’ll mash bananas, matching cherries a little yogurt and heavy cream. Throw in the freezer and the next day it only takes a few minutes to whip. Other ice cream makers take hours. It doesn’t compare to the waiting time for the creami, you just have to prep ahead of time. It’s like saying ordering off Amazon takes forever because of next day shipping versus going to the store and standing in line for 3 hrs. Everyone would go with Amazon in that scenario. It’s because despite waiting a day it’s way lower effort.

Heya, 50 Kal. Thanks for your comments! I've changed my mind about that Creami over that past several months simply because the results out of that machine are so good. The 24 hr thing wasn't really meant to be a gripe as much as it was supposed to be a heads up for people that use compresspr based machines and whatnot. My Compressor machine can do decent ice cream in about 35 minutes or so, so there's that, but I still like the finished product out of the creami better.

With a regular ice cream maker you can have ice cream in 1/2 hour, not hours, and you can have a lot more than a pint.

@JoesPhenomenal

True and true! The reason a mentioned that it's about 2 hours is that I make ice cream with eggs. That requires heating the mix... So something like 10 minutes to do all the mixing and heating... Then into the machine unless you want to let it cool and thicken a little which adds a little time... And then it depends on the texture you want. If you want a pretty firm ice cream it will need to go in the freezer for an hour or so to stiffen up... If you're a soft serve fan, all that nonsense cna be skipped.... So I was thinking more thr long way of doing it... I still use the compressor machine when we want stuff NOW... Love the convenience... But if you like to premake stuff way in advance, that Creami makes a pretty fantastic pint... And thwir new machine is bigger, so they kinda solved that tiny portion problem.... Still not anywhere near as much as a 2qt compressor machine though!

quick question, ive used the pacojet at work, and since the containers are pretty expensive (and we spun a lot of ice cream), we froze the IC bases in pint deli containers and then transferred them to the paco container to spin. will this tactic work for the creami or is the ninja container too small in diameter to fit a frozen "puck" of ice cream from a standard deli pint container? the pacojet containers seem slightly larger in diameter, i think.

Let me just say I love ice cream, and I always have to watch my weight, so I love, love, love, my Ninja Creami. I can eat so much more light ice cream made by the Creami than I can of store bought frozen Yogurt, with so many less calories. With that said, I will say I bought my first one at WalMart for $169 plus tax. It worked well for about two weeks, and something happened with the blade where it would not stay in. I don't think I did anything wrong, but I can't swear that I didn't. It fell off mid cycle, and after using it about 2 more times, the blade would no longer stay in. had WalMart is very generous about returns, so I returned it, but made sure I had already ordered another one. I took the 2nd one with me to Florida and used it, in all, about 8 weeks, every day and a few times twice a day, when it failed. I was still within the return time for WalMart, but I was still in Miami Beach and did not know where there was a WalMart. I was very unhappy , because as I said already, I am addicted to that machine. No matter what I did the Install button would not stop blinking, so the machine did not work. I googled if there was a Ninja Creami Customer service phone number, and there was. I actually got a person who did the screen share on my phone. She checked out the lid and it was ok. After a short time, maybe ten minutes, and she had checked out everything, she said the base needed to be replaced. She said it was $20 for shipping. I said "I could just take it back to WalMart when I get home (again they have a generous return policy and I was still within the time frame). She said "yes, you could do that, but I can waive the shipping. I agreed, and that's what happened. I was not to return anything and they replaced the machine; not the lid or the bowl or containers, as there was nothing wrong with them. I was amazed that it arrived at my home in Nashville within a few days. I am using that replacement now. I honestly don't know how long it will last. I use it daily. I fully expect I may have to replace it within a year, and possibly even sooner, though it is under warranty for that long. Of course, I wish it would last as long as my tea kettles etc, but it is mostly plastic, so I'm sure it won't. The bottom line is that the machine is wonderful, and it is helping me enjoy my favorite treat and still keep my weight down; if I have to buy a new one every year, so be it. I like it that much. Only time will tell if I get tired of it, but so far, it's been about three months of using it every day, and I'm still loving it.

@@JoesPhenomenal Yes I think it should be more prevalent on the machine also considering its sensitive to certain combinations. I just got my Ninja Creami a couple days ago and I wanted to try a no fat no sugar blueberry froyo which I did using only sucralose as the sweetener. My freezer is very cold and I knew there was high water content in both the yogurt and blueberries and it could damage the machine with no fat or sugar in the mix. I let it sit out for 45 minutes and the ice was starting to get soft. It processed with no respin required but still sounded rough during operation. I put my hand on the back bottom of the Creami and it was quite warm. I assume that is where the motor is. Then I did the light chocolate ice cream recipe from the Ninja recipe book, the one with coconut cream and chocolate oat milk as the base and processed that one the next day. I only let it sit out for 15 minutes. The motor area was not as hot with the chocolate ice cream recipe and I used the light ice cream setting for both recipes. I will continue to judge my Creami's stress by sound and heat on the back bottom until I have a feel for it with my freezer and recipes that work. I will not be doing the no fat no sugar again as I think that isn't good for it. I will move on to a recipe with some fat and sugar and try again. Also using wild blueberries would be better because they are much smaller and less chance of damage I would guess! The light chocolate ice cream was shockingly good although I'm using really good dutched cocoa powder so I expected that it would be extra chocolaty! I will be making that one again.

@JoesPhenomenal

Sounds awesome... I'm gonna need to do some temperature check to see also. Everything we do on ours is of the low or nonfat and no sugar variety so we will see how much it warms up. Some heat isn't the end of the world but if it's excessive, that could be an issue I suppose... Our old vitamix blender used to get way hot and almost smell like it was burning, and that thing lasted forever, so who knows.

1) The rod that descends into the food during the operation and returns to the hidden place at the end of the operation must be dismantled in the laboratory. 2) The lid that rotates, at the end of the process if you rinse it with water then you will cause the "ice cream" to enter the parts of the lid and the lid cannot be disassembled for cleaning purposes,

Super valid points! As far as the lid goes, I've been keeping an eye on that and so far we haven't had anything get into it on either of our creami machines, bu tif something does get in there, there isn't any way to open it up. As far as the rod going up into the machine, there a thick rubber gasket that prevents anything from making it's way up inside when it retracts, but I can't really verify how well it does that since there isn't a way to check. We haven't developed any weird smells or moisture coming out of it or anything yet so that's promising, but it would be nice if I could see for myself.

Hmm... Well, when the spindle comes down and grabs the blade, the spinning action just sort of keeps it locked in there. Check the fins on the inside of the glade where there shaft goes in and see if you can see if those are damaged... Also check the end of the spindle too for damage as well... I'd guess that one or the other has a break in there so it can fall off. I'd guess it might be the blade.

Hi, Don! You should be able to adapt any of our ice cream recipes to Non-Dairy by swapping eggs out for something called Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacement"... You can use the almond milk, but I've found that full fat Oatmilk works even better. If there is protein power in the recipe, you can sub that out for Vegan protein also... That should get you set. All the measurements would stay the same. I'll schedule a video for something like that as well, for ya.

Good, but even better without the pointless music, which is annoying

I make a low fat sugar free frozen desert with mine. If I only eat a little and put it back in the freezer, it freezes rock solid and has to be run through again. Because of that rock hard frozen mixture being put into the creme, I assume,, the blade started falling off and, Ninja said I need to buy a new one. They offered a new one for about $110 , but refused to give me any discount if I wanted to get a 500 series instead. They have no emails address to contact support or move higher up. They offer what looks like an email address as a place to go when their support can't help, but that is just a site and offers no solution at all. They are , "not able to offer a discount on the 500 series on their system", when I speak to them. It is a very difficult company to deal with.

any comment on people who get plastic shards in their ice cream?

@JoesPhenomenal

Жыл бұрын

Heya, Sue. I've seen that complaint a few times, and I do have an idea what might be happening there. Obviously, I could definitely be wrong. The way the creami works is that it has the paddle that comes down the middle of the pint being guided by a metal shaft. WHat I think the plastic shards are coming from is the paddle hitting the side of the creami pint. Really, that's the only place it can make contact other than the top, and I think that even if it's all the way up, it would miss the top unless the paddle is tweaked a pretty severe angle. To hit the sides, it would mean that the shaft is bending and letting the paddle make contact there. IMO, that may be happening if people are using ingredients that freeze too hard (i.e. have too high a water content). If that's the case, I can see that shaft beding a little. In the Creami manual, it does say that for sorbets and such, only a handful of fruits are suitable and the others freeze too hard citing that it can break the machine. That's the only place I've seen that written, and too me, if that's the case, it should be way more prominent with the packaging. WHen I use hard freezing stuff, I let the pints sit out a while to defrost a little so the contents aren't so hard, and I haven't had any issues with that yet. We use the Creami a lot for the channel, too, so you'd think I would have seen it happen, but maybe those extra precautions are the difference? Hard to say.

OK... So you are getting the result that looks kinda dry and crumbly? There are a few things you can do. I get that a lot too, because I keep my freezer really cold. First try letting the pint sit out for about 15 minutes before you process it. If it comes out crumbly, you can always add a couple of tbsp of milk to it after that, and hit the respin button. If it's still crumbly underneath, it means you needed a tiny bit more of that milk to absorb down further. How much extra liquid were you putting in?

@TactlessGuy

Жыл бұрын

It's not the same. The blade and drill design of the Creami shaves the ice cream into microscopically thin layers, which breaks up the ice crystals and creates an ice cream/gelato-like texture. It's sort of similar as an ice cream churner, except it doesn't incorporate as much air. You can't get that effect from a normal blender no matter how powerful it is. If it was as simple as using a blender to make ice cream, why would we ever need ice cream makers in the first place? Lmao

Low-fat diets have been effective in promoting weight loss when calories are restricted. However, very low-fat diets can create vitamin and mineral deficiencies. In general, it's best to consume a more balanced diet that includes mono- and polyunsaturated fats for overall health and longevity, IMO. I agree with you though, not to cut that fat too much. I'm not really into super low fat diets, but when it comes to snacks like Ice cream, I'd rather save that fat for regular meals.

Ninja products are cheesy! I speak from the experience I had 10 years ago when I got their mixer\food processor. The container, the blades ...they are not high quality and cannot withstand anything near professional grade intensity. They are made more for very light work and very gentle care. This does not mean I am not seriously considering the Ninja Creamer. But, if I do get it, I am going to follow and surpass every instruction regarding the hardness of the ice cream. You can be assured it will break- of this I guarantee you! Frankly, with the low quality of the product I got, I am amazed they are still around and doing business.

You know... I have that old ninja food processor also, and of all the stuff I have, it's the least impressive by a pretty wide margin, so I feel your pain. I do give them a bit of a pass on the durability though based on a couple of things. First, I haven't personally had any of them die on me, and second, at the price point they sell at, I can't really expect them to be able to hold up to super high volume use like in a pro environment... Like that Creami. It's basically a cheap clone of a Pacojet, but those things are like 5k. That being said, I wouldn't mind those being a little pricier for some extra durability. Also, the market that Ninja caters to is that lower priced market where Cuisinart is at.
