You can make lots of delish ice creams and sorbets in them. You can choose from low fat to high fat recipes. Some recipes do take a fair bit of time/effort. And you have to start way in advance mostly - eg. make the egg custard and then let it cool completely.

I found that in Qld heat, the frozen bowl would heat up before I had finished churning my icecream. So you should try and get one with a big bowl or one that plugs into the wall to cool the bowl (not just to churn the motor). But they are $$$.

Anyway, HTH!
