Breville BCI600XL Smart Scoop Ice Cream Maker

The Breville bci600xl offers plenty of benefits and features. It has an automatic mode that can keep the ingredients at the right temperature. There are four settings to make the ideal consistency. Each of these settings controls the hardness of the mixture. It can either make the dessert firmer or softer. 

If you want to leave the ice cream do its job so you can focus on other things, you can do it. It has a timer. This way, you can also make recipes that require a specific time to make. The machine doesn’t only make ice cream. It makes frozen yogurt, sorbet, or gelato. You only have to pour the necessary ingredients and set the settings to control the density.

The product is made of durable materials. It is easy to use. You just need to take care of the mixing bowl and scrape the edges. 

You can pre-chill the mixture by using the “Pre-cool” mode. It will reach the desired temperature in about 5 to 10 minutes. The extended function can keep the consistency and temperature for 3 hours. 

You can toggle the settings between Celsius and Fahrenheit. This is a big plus since the measurements can sometimes be tricky to understand. Especially if you are familiar with Celsius, but the machine displays Fahrenheit instead.

The product is easy to clean. Everything, aside from the base, can be washed in the dishwasher. It has a child lock. So, no one will be messing with the ice cream while the device is on.

 You can add some tasty mixes like fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or any other flavorings. When the dessert is ready, music will start to play. 

Before you start making your ice cream, you need to remove all the packaging or labeling materials inside the machine. Clean every part, except for the base. Use dishwashing soap and water to rinse the parts thoroughly. Set them aside to dry. If you can’t wait for it to dry, use a damp cloth to wipe the water. 

Now you are ready to use it. 

1. Put the paddle in the bowl
2. Pour the ingredients in the bowl
3. Follow the recipe specified in the manual
4. Put the bowl in the chamber
5. Position the bowl properly. Make sure the hinge is in the two grooves on each side. 
6. Turn it on.

Note: Assemble the paddle correctly into the driveshaft. Otherwise, the machine will not mix the ingredients well.

Note: When the machine is in standby mode, you can activate the “Pre-cool” mode.

That’s it. To know the rest of the features and settings, follow the manual. 

Yes. The Breville ice cream maker will let you choose the song it plays when the ice cream is ready. You can select from mute, chime or jingles. If your children prefer the chime over the jingles, you can easily switch it. 

The machine has two plastic arms. These arms are not the same size. One is shorter than the other. They are the scraper blades that mix the ingredients. They scrape off the mixture and disperse it into the center. The long arm will leave a gap of 2mm. When the blade curves further away from the wall, the shorter arm will create a 3mm gap. As a result, 2-3mm layer of ice will remain on the wall. This reduces the rate of heat transfer. But, it is not something bad. You can always scrape the wall with a spoon. This way, you can mix the ingredients together and still get the desired consistency. 2mm layer of ice doesn’t make a big problem.
