Never received item!!!
I will NEVER order anything online through your company again. On July 11th I submitted feedback to you about Around the World and my experience with this order.At that time I mentioned that I have never received the order that I placed on June 12th and that on July 10th I sent a request to Around the World to cancel my order. I have never received a response from the company or received credit back on my credit card. What can I do to resolve this issue?

you'll find it VERY inconvenient if you've ever used a proper ice cream maker
as the reviews say, it does make good ice cream.
However, if you've ever used a normal ice cream maker with a built in regrigeration unit, you will be highly disappointed. My mom has a great ice cream maker (from the 80's) that she just throws in all the ingredients, and then a couple hours later, voila!
If that's what you're expecting, you're in for a surprise. Not only does the (very bulky) bowl need to be in your freezer overnight, but then you have to cook the batter and cool in regrigerator at least 8 hours, and then you can mix it in the frozen bowl for 30 min. Not exactly a quick process.

Who needs to bake when you can make ice cream?!
I've just made my second batch of ice cream using this attachment. First was Tahitian vanilla (from Cooks Illustrated), followed by Blackberry Gelato (from Food & Wine). Next on my list is Chocolate Mint Cookie, using the chocolate recipe from the Ben & Jerry's book and Chocolate Mint Cream cookies. I don't think I'll be baking anytime soon now that I've started making ice cream. You can buy cookies anywhere, but where can you get homemade ice cream? Nowhere but home!
A few tips I've learned:
--You really need two of these bowls to make ice cream to feed a crowd. This is especially true if you make custard-based (cooked) ice cream bases, which need several hours to cool in the fridge (if not overnight). To make two batches with a single bowl, you need to have your custard ready around 7am, make your first batch, put the bowl back in the freezer for 15 hours, then make your second batch around 10pm.
--The ice cream expands once it's in the mixer, so be careful not to overfill the bowl. Recipes tend to vary in how much batter you create, so you might want to make two batches if your mixer bowl will be more than half full of batter when you pour it in.
--Buy heavy cream and half and half from a discount club if you can--you'll go through a lot of these products, and it's expensive to buy the small sizes from the grocery store.
