Top features

Machine TypeFreezer-bowl churner
Capacity2 quarts
Freezing MethodDouble-insulated freezer bowl (pre-chill required)

Freezer-bowl ice cream maker with a 2-quart double-insulated bowl that requires 24-hour pre-freezing. Makes ice cream, sorbet, and frozen yogurt in about 20 minutes once chilled. Features a mix-ins chute for adding toppings mid-churn and is designed for easy cleanup with dishwasher-safe parts. The honeydew green finish is compact and fits standard countertops. Best suited for casual home use where pre-freezing is acceptable and batch size of 2 quarts meets demand. Martha Stewart is a recognized housewares brand with solid kitchen-appliance reputation, though this freezer-bowl model competes against both budget churners and premium compressor machines that eliminate the pre-chill step.
