Making ice cream at home is fun, far cheaper than buying it, and dangerously with a reliable automatic ice cream maker. Cuisinart is a leader in the frozen dessert category and the stalwart kitchen brand's ice cream makers consistently rank well in consumer sentiment in buyer reviews and on Reddit. But as CNET's resident kitchen guy and a true ice cream zealot, I wanted to see for myself. After testing eight models myself from a range of manufacturers, Cuisinart's 2-quart double-insulated machine tops our list as the best ice cream maker to buy in 2024.

Starting with whole pistachios is the secret to making a pistachio ice cream with rich, round pistachio flavor. Our version has a custard base made with two kinds of dairy and egg yolks, which help carry the delicate aroma of the nuts. It has a thick, creamy texture that melts slowly both in a dish and in your mouth, well worth the extra step of waiting for the custard mixture to chill before adding it to the ice cream maker! Dish up this pistachio ice cream on its own, or use it as a base for a sophisticated ice cream treat.

Various flavors of ice cream and frozen treats often include Red No. 3 and titanium dioxide – two additives linked to significant health risks. Both titanium dioxide and Red No. 3 are prohibited from nearly all food applications in the European Union. Here’s a rundown of typical components present in many store-bought ice cream brands. Get ready to be shocked by what seems to be a disregard for consumer health. Get ready to be furious that the FDA has sanctioned the use of these additives in our food for the benefit of the food processing companies.

I don't know about you, but where I'm at... it's still sooooo hot. The country as a whole has been under a huge heat wave this past week and today is no exception! I will say though, that we are lucky to have a dry heat instead of a humid heat. At least I don't feel like I'm drowning and on fire at the same time.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Our editors and experts handpick every product we feature. We may earn a commission from your purchases. While there’s a time and place for chest freezers, they’re oftentimes meant for long-term storage rather than quick-grab meals and frosty treats. Being horizontal, they’re rather tricky to rummage through, and they normally boast deep-freeze temperatures. Because of this, they’re not the ideal solution for stashing make-ahead dinners or popping into a basement for fast access to frozen pizzas. That’s where the best upright freezers come in.
