Overview
The Waring WCIC25 is a compressor-driven ice cream maker built for small commercial kitchens and serious home use, churning up to 2.5 quarts of ice cream, gelato or frozen yogurt without a bowl that needs pre-freezing.
Because the compressor does the cooling itself, back-to-back batches are possible the way they aren't with a freezer-bowl machine.
- Built-in compressor, no pre-freeze bowl
- Up to 2.5 quarts in about 30 minutes
- Stainless steel body with LCD display
- Keep Cool holds temperature after churning
Who it's for
Fits a small ice cream shop, a busy home kitchen, or anyone tired of freezing a bowl a day ahead. It is not a replacement for full commercial batch freezers if hard-frozen product straight out of the machine is the requirement.
Pros and cons
- No pre-freeze bowl needed between batches
- Handles a 2.5-quart capacity for dairy and non-dairy recipes
- Stainless build with an LCD display
- Result often finishes soft rather than hard-frozen
- Needs a rest period before first use or performance suffers
