Secura Mini Ice Cream Maker

Today I used my ice cream maker for the first time. I froze the bottom half overnight & then today mixed up a protein shake & poured it in to make ice cream. The machine only holds about 6-7 oz of liquid, so I drank the last couple ounces of the shake while the machine did its work. Hint: when the motor/paddle part of the machine starts lifting up off the bottom part, your ice cream is done. I noticed it was lifting & pressed down on it (thinking maybe I hadn't gotten it pressed on hard enough the first time) & creamy ice cream oozed out. It only took about 14-15 minutes for my protein shake to go from liquid to REALLY GOOD yummy ice cream. I didn't realize (probably wasn't paying close enough attention) when I first bought this machine that it makes such a tiny quantity but since my husband & I have had bariatric surgery in the past year, we shared our 1 little bowl of ice cream & enjoyed it together! But in case you didn't read the description closely, this machine only makes about 8-9 ounces of ice cream! It's plenty for 1 serving for 1 person. Just don't plan to make ice cream for the family with this machine. Edit to add: this lovely ice cream maker lasted through about 3 batches of ice cream before it broke.
