Thanks I have the toll free numbered to call tomorrow. My bowl will not come out at all. Its as if it is stuck.

you;ll have to prowl the for sale sites... parts are rare

otherwise buy a new machine and sell yours to some other needy soul...?

That wasn;t helpful as why would I sell it to someone else if it doesn;t have the paddle?

describe the procedure you used... times quantities etc

Store the bowl in the freezer and use very cold ingredient. Works for me

I don't need any help. I threw away the ice cream maker, because I could not find my receipt. Thanks for your answer.

Hi, I used the Lumina Ice Cream Maker for a few months and even though the box and manual info said the bowl yield is 1.5 litres, it only churn efficiently around 1 litre of ice cream mixture. The ice cream will increase a little in volume when it starts to turn to ice cream. From my experience with this ice cream machine that has the motor on the lid, I would keep the mixture to 1 litre maximum. Every time I made 1.2 or 1.3 litres of ice cream mixture I would get some ice cream getting into the motor and I had to throw the Lumina Ice cream away after a few months of use. I own a 1.5 litres ice cream maker which has got the motor on the bottom of the machine and I keep my mixture to up to 1.2 litres of mixture and after churning for 20 to 30 minutes in the machine I transfer to a 1.5 litres container and I always get the container full, so I recommend to keep the volume of the ice cream mixture between 1 to 1.2 litres maximum.

Sorry Marie I donj't think I still ahve mine. If I find it I shall psot a ntoe here. Have you tried contacting Aldi?

I found ice cream recipes for this machine on line...

Marie: I had no trouble with my machine - make sure you freeze the bowl (without the outer cover) overnight before using. Here's my own recipe which works really well, and makes a lovely ice-cream with low fat.

Ingredients: 750 ml Skim Milk 250 ml Light Evaporated Milk 1 Tbls Vanilla Bean Paste 2 Dessertspoons Glucose Syrup 120 grams Brown Sugar 8 Egg Yolks 4 Level tsp Cornflour

Directions: Put aside one cup of the skim milk into a 2-cup jug or similar.

Heat the remaining 2 cups of skim milk and 1 cup of Evaporated Milk with the Vanilla, Glucose, and Brown Sugar in a medium saucepan and bring to just under boiling point over a low-med flame. Stir often.

While the milk is heating, beat the egg yolks together, then combine with the reserved milk whisk in the cornflour.

Once the milk is heated in the saucepan, pour a cup or so into the egg mixture, then pour the milk/egg mix back into the saucepan and stir over a low heat until the custard is thickened. Set aside to cool, or beat over ice bath to cool down.

Let custard get really cold overnight in the fridge. This is a good time to pop the Freezing chamber of the icecream maker in the freezer.

Churn in Icecream machine for 10-15 mins. At the last couple of minutes add any bits you want in it like chocolate flakes etc

Freeze in a container until desired consistency and serve. I often serve it directly from the machine, as it is a lovely soft-serve consistency after 10-15 mins. (This is even here in our Australian Summer)

Key things to remember: *Freeze the chamber overnight and NOT in the outer plastic cover. *Make sure the mixture has sat in the coldest part of the fridge overnight. *Do not oversweeten ice-cream as the sugar will affect the freezing. Using Glucose will make for more velvety ice-cream as it reduces the size of the ice crystals when freezing.

I have just made a batch of this, and am folding through some small choc honeycomb balls for crunch. Enjoy !!!
