Unlike many other ice cream makers, there are 3 working modes, including ‘ice cream’, ‘cooling only’, and ‘mixing only’.

After that, it’s a simple case of letting the Andrew James Ice Cream Maker take over stirring up your mixture with its sturdy paddle. It churns the ice cream at a fixed non-adjustable pace, which is quite fast and very quiet along with the rest of the machine's operations. Ingredients should be added gradually through the large funnel and will be churned as they freeze to give a deliciously creamy consistency. Once the mixture is in the machine it needs to know how long the mixing cycle should last, the longest cycle is 50 minutes and any under is allotted in incremental jumps of ten minutes. The cheaper ice cream makers will require you to pre-freeze the mixing bowl, while pricier models offer more features for making ice cream, gelato, sorbet, frozen yoghurt and icy drinks.
