“I bought it to put my ice cream in when i make homemade ice cream. it fits nice in the door of my freezer. I should have bought two though. I didn't realize i'd get so much ice cream out of such a little cream and milk. The only thing is that it is so well insulated that i have to keep the lid off for about an hour until it freezes well enough to cover or it does not get firm. I had to cover it with wrap until it freezes then put on the lid.“

Loose lid causes compromised ice cream quality.

This tub is a nice shape as far as storage and for scooping the ice cream.

The problem with it is the lid does NOT snap on or even press on tightly. When you put the lid on it can easily be bumped off. Like it is too loose. (the lid too small for the tub opening).

So, our ice cream doesn't seem to stay "fresh". After a few short days in the freezer the ice cream has ice crystal all over the top. I suspect from the loose lid.

This is NOT what we had hoped for with such an expensive item. We paid the higher price expecting a higher quality item than all the others, but to no avail.

-----------------------------------------------
Update: Changed rating to 5 stars>>> I received a new container from the seller and the new one actually has a better fitting lid. Not sure why the first one was loose. (lemon I guess). I feel good about the new one and it should keep ice cream less freezer burnt now.
Kudos to the seller for making it all "right" with their customer!! :-)

Fits A Whole Batch From 4 Cups of Base

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.
