SUMO Set of 2, Ice Cream Containers for Homemade Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart Each, Reusable Freezer Storage Containers - Red

Bummer. Just bought one of those ice cream makers that have the cooling compressor built in: Whynter ICM-200LS Stainless Steel Ice Cream Maker, 2.1-Quart, Silver After making a few batches, we realized we 0needed a better storage alternative than regular Tupperware or my wife's salad storage container. So, while we were still within the 30 day return window on the ice cream machine, we decided to get a couple of these storage containers (different colors to differentiate flavors). These things are really great. We've made a number of recipes that made exactly 1.5 quarts of ice cream. Fit in these containers perfectly. So, the test was getting ice cream back out of the container. Just left them sit on the counter without the lid for about 10 minutes. Perfect. The rubber or whatever bottoms keep the container from sliding at all. Too, the narrowness of the container allows a perfect scoop from one end to the other. So, what part of my review is a bummer? Well, since the ice cream machine looks as if it will be a keeper (barring it breaking down over the next two weeks), we are now short of enough containers. If I had enough confidence that the ice cream maker was going to be a keeper, I would have bought the four pack container offering. So, guess I'll be using two of these containers, some Tupperware, and a salad container. Anyone considering making a bunch of ice cream and wanting to have a variety of storage containers, go ahead and opt for the four-pack. You won't regret it. Update 5/24/18 I was so enamored with these containers that I went ahead and purchased the two additional colors I didn't get on my first purchase. I only make 1.5 quarts of ice cream in my machine to keep it from spewing over the top of my 2.1 quart bucket. So, this 1.5 quart container is perfect. Heck, most ice cream sold in stores today has downsized to 1.5 quarts anyway. Clean up is pretty easy as well. Prefer to hand wash as I can accomplish that in a couple of minutes as opposed to a 3 hour dishwasher cycle. I'm making so much ice cream, need to keep these containers working for me. Churn, churn, churn, eat, eat, eat. Rinse and repeat. Edit 3/25/21 Had one of my outer shells develop a long crack. No idea as to how it occurred. Freezer too cold, hot water while cleaning cold plastic, sitting on counter. Absolutely no idea. Just spotted the crack as it was sitting in the freezer. Noticed that Sumo has a 100% guaranteed lifetime warranty. Contacted them and sure enough they provided a replacement unit right away. I mean next day. Amazing. I really like this company and their products. We've been using these containers (5) for nearly three years now and they have performed flawlessly.

Likes -> various colors are available which are helpful when storing several ice cream creations, insulated on sides and bottom which keep product in excellent condition when storing in a chest/upright freezer that does not use a defrost cycle and transporting containers to a neighbor's house, stays upright when placed on the counter, easy to scoop ice cream out of using a traditional ice scream scooper, top rack dishwasher safe, quality product, tight fitting inner and outer sections. I have six of these containers and I may order a couple more because I have been making a lot of ice cream this Summer (taking advantage of the fresh fruit as it ripens) and have been giving away my creations to my friends in these containers and they've been slow to return the containers. These containers also nicely stack in the freezer without taking up a lot of unused space. Dislike -> only one - it's very difficult to separate the outer and inner sections of the base container. While this is a good thing because it provides excellent insulation, I like to separate the sections after use for a thorough cleaning. I have found that I can best separate the sections by running hot water over the exterior shell for a minute, then running cold water in the inner shell for a couple seconds, I then try to loosen the sections at the ends. It's not easy but it seems to be the best way for me.

Except for the brand name on the lid, this Sumo 1.5 quart ice cream tub is identical to the Tovolo one I bought at the same time. I love them both -- and two is a good number to have on hand, especially if you like to have a couple of flavor choices in your refrigerator. Other than the brand, the other difference between the two is that Sumo claims it is dishwasher-safe while Tovolo says theirs is not; I find that strange since the materials, texture, and construction appear to be the same. The tub measures 11" long by 4" wide by 4.25" high and, while that won't fit into every freezer door or "jam-packed" freezer, it is an efficient use of container space. When I first received this tub, I was afraid that it was going to be too small for the contents of my Cuisinart ICE-100 compressor machine. Not so. It's perfect. Although it looks visually small, it really hold a full 1.5 quarts of ice cream made from about 4 cups of base. The container comes apart for easy cleaning and hand-washing; I haven't attempted to stick this in the dishwasher. The insulated layer between the outside and the inner container helps keep the ice cream from melting as quickly when out of the freezer, and that's important when the long shape potentially exposes the greater surface area to ambient temperatures. I do stick mine in the freezer a few hours before I churn to give me some extra time when transferring the newly frozen ice cream into its container. The lid doesn't snap in place, although it does stay on. I love that I can run my KitchenAid scoop across the surface to create a nice ball of ice cream. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

I got these thinking they would be great for storing my homemade ice cream. It's great for the size and fits in the freezer well. My ice cream stays fresh, but I honestly hate scooping my ice cream out of these. I thought it was suppose to be easier to scoop, but I have the worst time, especially when I get below half way. I usually have to grab a spoon to get the ice cream out, because my scoop just won't grab it. My scoop works fine in other containers, but I just think it's too narrow or something. Not sure.

Work nicely for storing ice cream. Prefer tovolo ones though. Lids actually snap into place on them.

Would recommend this product to anyone who makes a lot of their own ice cream. Watched a few YouTube videos which talk about how SUMO does not crack in the freezer unlike some of its better known competitors.

横長ですくいやすい。

EXCELLENT! Excellent produit. Très belle qualité. Contenants épais, solides avec un couvercle étanche qui se clip parfaitement. Tout est identique à la description. Nous aimons faire notre « crème glacée au chocolat maison » et c’est contenants sont parfaits pour bien conserver la crème glacée. De plus, la couleur est très jolie. Très satisfaite.

No more freezer burn! Best purchase ever!!! Love the brand and quality so much that I’ve recommended this to my relatives who have bought them too.
