No, at least not with mine, nor with any ice cream maker that works anything

like mine does. The cooling liquid in the " bowls " that the ice cream is made

in has to be frozen-- left at room temp, they won't stay frozen for too long.

Ice cream should only need to sit out for 10 minutes or maybe 15 at the most.

I don't see why that would be a problem.

Commercial ice creams use anti-freeze to prevent the ice cream from getting

to hard.

Mine took what seemed like an hour, but the cream wasn't

very cold. Mine isn't very efficient though -- it IS easy. It's a Rival,

and uses a gel base that you store in the freezer, so you don't

need ice cubes and salt.

Yeah, you really do need to freeze it. Mine was REALLY soft

and fluffy, almost like whip cream, before I froze it. It thaws

quickly though, just leave it out 10 min or so, then scoop.
