Overview
A built in compressor and a cold plate do the freezing in this Instant Pot machine, so no bowl needs overnight freezing. Churn in the bowl, or pour onto the plate to roll ice cream, with a mix-in alert for add ins.
Families can make several flavors in one evening without waiting on a frozen bowl. The unit is heavy, and the quickest timing quoted is for rolled ice cream on the plate.
Who it's for
Families and dessert makers who want gelato, sorbet and rolled ice cream on demand will use the compressor. Occasional makers may find a freezer bowl model enough.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
Freezing comes from the compressor chilling the bowl and plate continuously, so batch timing does not depend on a frozen insert. Higher fat recipes churn smoother and are less likely to stick to the plate. The mix-in alert times add ins so they stay crisp.
