Back

Wolfgang Puck,

owner of the famous

Spago restaurants and

one of the most influential

chef-restauranteurs in

America, is credited with

reviving California’s rich

culinary heritage. His

cooking innovations,

a result of blending fresh

California ingredients with his classical French techniques, are enjoyed

by world leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike. He established other

trend-setting restaurants like Postrio in San Francisco, Chinois on

Main in Santa Monica, Trattoria del Lupo, and his latest creation, Cut, a

gourmet steakhouse in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Home chefs can

also share Mr. Puck’s talents through his cookbooks and, of course,

through his appliances!

Dessert Maker

Unlike other frozen dessert makers in the marketplace,

the Freezer Bowl of your Wolfgang Puck Dessert

Maker also serves as the housing. This allows the

Motor Housing to sit directly on top of the Freezer

Bowl during the mixing process, making it

compact for storage, yet still providing for up to

1.5 quarts of ingredients.

Do not store frozen desserts or drinks in the freezer bowl in the

freezer for more then 30 minutes. Desserts and drinks will stick to

the side of the Freezer Bowl and may cause damage. Store only in a

plastic airtight container. You can store desserts in the Freezer Bowl

only if the Freezer Bowl is placed in the Insulated Case and kept out

of the freezer. Do not place frozen desserts directly in the Insulated

Case, use the Freezer Bowl or other appropriately-sized

storage container.

To Assemble:

You can store frozen desserts for a limited period. Storing too long

will reduce quality and flavor. After one or two weeks the structure

of ice cream deteriorates and the fresh taste is lost. Several guide-

lines should be followed when storing desserts in a freezer:

Do not remove your Freezer Bowl from your

freezer until all of your ingredients have been

prepared and are ready to pour into the Bowl.

Remove the cover from the Insulated case

and place the frozen Freezer Bowl in the case.

Place the case with freezer bowl on a stable

level surface.

a. Finished frozen desserts can be kept in the Freezer Bowl in a

freezer for no more than 30 minutes at a time. Transfer frozen

desserts to an airtight container for longer storage in the freezer.

b. Maintain a minimum temperature of 0° F.

Add your ingredients to the frozen

Freezer Bowl.

c. Mark the prepare date and type of desserts on the container

d. Do not refreeze and consume desserts which have totally or

partially defrosted.

Place the transparent cover underneath the

motor housing by sliding it forward until all three

lock positions are properly in place (see figures 1

and 2).

If adding fruit, always do so after the base has begun to thicken,

usually after the first 15 minutes of processing. If the fruit is added to

the base while it is still in its liquid form it will prevent the base from

thickening to the proper consistency. Also, if using fresh fruit that

has not been cooked it will tend to become as hard as an ice cube

after it has been stored in the freezer. Smaller pieces of fruit that

have been precooked to eliminate some of the moisture

content are recommended.

Place the mixing arm on the stem of the motor

housing and guide it into the Freezer Bowl.

You will notice three nubs on the transparent

cover. There are also three indentations on the rim

of the Freezer Bowl. Line up the nubs of the cover

to the indentations on the black rim of the Freezer

Bowl (see figure 3). Press down on the Motor

Housing until all nubs on the transparent cover are

fully recessed into the black rim on the Freezer

Bowl.

Use different types of cream or milk for creamier ice cream. The

higher the fat content of the base, the creamier your dessert will be.

Most restaurants use a specialty cream that contains 40% fat. This

can usually be found in specialty stores. Fat contents of various dairy

products are as follows:

Plug your motor housing into a 120V AC outlet.

a. Manufacturing cream – 40% fat (specialty stores)

b. Heavy Cream - 36%

c. Light Whipping Cream - 30%

d. Light Cream - 18%

e. Half and Half - 11%

f. Whole Milk - 8%

Always make sure sugar is completely dissolved. If it's not,

ice will form around the sugar crystals.

Helpful Hints (cont.)

Using Your

Frozen Dessert Maker

If the recipe you are preparing needs to be cooked on the stove,

prepare it 24 hours in advance. This will allow you to store the base in

the refrigerator and have it properly chilled for processing.

Always ensure your Freezer Bowl is completely frozen before using.

Do not take the Freezer Bowl out of the freezer until your ingredients

are measured and prepared. Remove the cover from the insulated

case and place the Freezer Bowl in the case. Place the case with

freezer bowl on a stable level surface.

Temperature and viscosity of the base is the number one factor in

determining processing time. A well-chilled base can be completed in

as little as 20 minutes.

You can use recipes from this manual or enjoy your own variations.

Just ensure that you do not exceed more than 1.5 quarts after all

ingredients have been combined.

The consistency of your ice cream upon completion is that of soft

serve. This is the same in the most expensive ice cream makers used

in restaurants. The difference is that restaurants (and manufacturing

facilities) use a “hardening cabinet” that blast freezes the ice cream

in a much shorter time frame than a standard home freezer. To

achieve the same hardness simply transfer your finished ice cream

to an airtight container and store in your freezer for 1 hour.

Assemble your Dessert Maker according to the instructions on

page 7.

You can add ingredients during the mixing process. Add nuts,

chocolate chips, or your other favorite ingredients through the hatch

located on the transparent cover. There is no need to stop the

mixing action and remove the cover.

You can make delicious slushies with this appliance by simply

pouring your favorite carbonated beverage in the Freezer Bowl.

Do not attempt this with diet beverages as they will tend to freeze to

the side of the Freezer Bowl causing your mixing arm to

become stuck.

Most recipes are complete in 25 – 40 minutes depending on the

beginning temperature of your ingredients, the amount of cream in

your mixture, and the total volume of your ingredients. Mixing time

can be decreased if you pre-chill your mixture in the refrigerator prior

to mixing.

Plug your appliance in and set the switch to the On position (I)

Care & Cleaning

When the mixture has reached your desired consistency, switch the

power button to the Off position (O). Ice Cream and other frozen

desserts will be slightly firmer than soft-serve ice cream. If you would

like a firmer texture, place the mixture in an airtight container in the

freezer for 1 – 2 hours.

Wash the Transparent Cover (after it has been removed from the

Motor Housing), Freezer Bowl and Mixing Arm in warm, soapy water.

DO NOT clean any of the parts with abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Do

not put any parts of your Dessert Maker in the dishwasher. Dry all parts

thoroughly after cleaning. The Freezer Bowl must be completely dry

prior to placing in the freezer. The Freezer Bowl is the only part that

should be placed in the freezer; all other parts should be stored in a

pantry or cabinet. We recommend that the Freezer Bowl always be

stored in the freezer so that you can use it at any time.

WARNING: Do not store any mixtures or other liquids in the

freezer bowl as they will stick to the interior of the unit and will damage

the Freezer Bowl. Always transfer completed recipes to an airtight

plastic container.
