    What do you think of the news report that instant pot has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US and Canada 🇨🇦. It was just divulged in the last 5 hours. Sorry to see it happen 😢

    i'm thinking of buying the Ninja creami 7 in 1 soon. Do you have any tips on where to buy it and get a good deal on it? I've checked so many places with good deals and it's sold out… but of course the ones that are more expensive aren't

    I bought 2 bowls to freeze for Cuisinart ice cream maker. So I can make a gallon of ice cream, 2 batches at a time. I love it for family gatherings. It only takes a couple hours to harden off the ice cream & many recipes don’t call for cooking ingredients, so you can make it without refrigerating the base first. So it takes much less time. And processing for 20-25 minutes doesn’t seem long when you get such great results. I have made strawberry sorbet also. And it is so easy. Thanks for sharing and all you do. I’m going to make frozen yogurt with your Instant Pot yogurt recipe. We love the yogurt so frozen it should be wonderful.

    Great points! I think one negative for the ice cream maker is that the container you need to freeze is huge since it has the thick insulated walls. A lot of freezer space compared to the Ninja Creami pints. I've been doing vanilla blueberry frozen yogurt in my Ninja Creami made from vanilla yogurt added some sweetener and a hand full of dethawed wild blue berries using the mix in function after the froyo base is spun and its really healthy and tastes good. This is the reason I wanted a Creami, for simple quick recipes. I will admit that store bought froyo is slightly more creamy and rich but my version is way better health wise and its not far off flavor wise.

    I have both & I love the ability to make low calorie (but still super delicious) ice creams in the Ninja Creami. It’s so fun experimenting with the Ninja too. It’s so much more versatile.

    I love my Cuisinart ice cream maker. Yes, it takes a little planning but it’s worth it. I use well reviewed recipes and have never had a fail. I 10/10 recommend the Cuisinart ice cream maker. It’s a good idea to get an extra freezer bowl if you make a lot of ice cream, and that’s still cheaper than the Ninja.

    But does the Ninja actually make ice cream or just grind frozen ingredients? I think both have advantages but the Ninja makes frozen treats, not actual ice cream. Thoughts?

    I grew up in the 70s and 80s with the hardcore old school ice cream makers. So much salt lol 😂 My dad used to make peach ice cream all summer long, a tradition I loved. He’d be rolling in his grave to see these machines.
