Product Description
Simply elegant, simply the best! Discover the extraordinary taste of homemade frozen drinks and desserts! Use fresh fruit and pure ingredients to produce delicious, healthy frozen treats in minutes without the additives, preservatives, hidden ingredients, or expense of store-bought products. Best of all, with the revolutionary Midas ice cream maker, you can do it with minimal fuss and an elegant flair. The Midas is made entirely from hypoallergenic, low-nickel stainless steel. Its unique design means it is durable, non-electric, and silent. It's easy to clean and there are no moving parts to break, wear out, or lose. No churning is required, so there's no messy paddle to pull out and scrape. Its elegant stainless steel design makes the Midas the perfect accompaniment to any dinner table from an outdoor picnic to the most formal black tie event. Unlike with electric churning ice cream makers, which can be gratingly noisy not to mention bulky, gadgety, and power-hungry conversation will not suffer and guests' nerves won't be set on edge by the Midas. (This is not to say your Midas will not be noticed!) The Midas is based on a brilliantly simple idea that really works. What sets it apart is its unique patented rapid freezing concept. The sealed double-walled canister and lid are filled with a technologically advanced FDA food-approved freezing solution. After freezing the Midas you can make 1.5 liters (over 6 cups, or eight normal servings) of soft-serve ice cream in only 15 to 20 minutes or let it sit a little bit longer for a harder consistency. A second batch can be made before returning the Midas to the freezer that's 3 liters from a single freezing! Use the canister for chilling wine, quickly cooling soups or as an ice bucket. The Midas comes complete with 20 traditional and low-fat recipes but you'll soon be improvising your own. Take your smoothies and health drinks to a delightful new level!

This company never responded to my emails and never sent the product. I was disappointed and had to ask Amazon for a refund.
 Best for all-cream ice cream December 7, 2007

I like to make my ice cream with 100% cream--no milk or juice--plus honey or dehydrated cane juice, vanilla, chocolate, egg yolk, whatever. Hand-crank ice cream makers caused a film of frozen cream to build up along the sides of the basin, making turning the crank impossible. Not applicable to the Midas. For my recipe and tropical climate, it takes 30 minutes in the Midas for the proper results with one stir-break at the 15 minute mark. I always use top-notch ingredients (everything organic including cultured-raw organic cream) such that I don't blame my full-sized German Shepherd for wanting to lick the bowl clean, and he deserves it. Fortunately, given that the Midas is stainless steel, there is no damage from my dog's rough treatment, unlike my other, retired, aluminum coated machine. I took the Midas in my suitcase to my tropical vacation home. It didn't take much room. No awkward cranks or flimsy plastic lids to pack. Like all modern ice cream makers, it must be well-frozen before use, as per the manufacturer's directions.
 are we talking about the same machine??? June 11, 2007

The reviews were all so glowing, I was excited when mine arrived, and the directions were so triflingly easy! But then, after 3 hours of stirring every fifteen minutes, it was still soggy goo. I finally abandoned it overnight, and woke up to rock hard frozen paste. I'll try some sorbets and ices, but for a first attempt at simple coffee ice cream,following instructions and included recipe to the letter, the result was a terrible disappointment.

I just got a Midas ice cream maker, and I'd like to ditto what all the other reviewers have said--it's attractive, quiet, convenient, and really well made. I really like that you can store your ice cream, granita, or whatever in the same container you made it in.
And on top of all its other stellar qualities, it's an absolute party monster: It can be used to make frozen margies (yes!!) or serve as a champagne chiller.

When I first got my Midas, it was not available in the U.S. except by paying a ton for overseas shipping (which I did). I'd turned up some older rave reviews of it in Google, but nobody in the U.S. carried it. I finally found the inventor's listing on eBay and paid the $58.00 to have it shipped to the U.S.
I was so impressed with this ice cream maker, I wanted all my friends to be able to get it for less than I'd had to pay so I offered to carry some for the inventor in the U.S. I'm dkistner1111, listed as a seller on Amazon.
The main thing I do with my Midas is make the best peach kefir ice cream in the world. Anything you can make as a smoothie you can freeze to be an ice cream or sorbet. I blend peaches and homemade kefir -- find out how at Dom's Kefir In-site -- with about five tablespoons of xylitol (glycemic index of 2 as opposed to sugar's 100) and it makes the most delicious/refreshing ice cream that only tastes sinful.
I keep my Midas in the freezer all the time. It's a real kitchen essential. I use it for keeping champagne chilled, instead of ice in a sinkful of water when I'm blanching vegetables prior to canning, and also for cooling soups meant to be served cold. I've even grabbed the just-washed base and used it a time or two as a mixing bowl to whisk eggs and such. Given the Midas is made of stainless steel, I don't have to worry about poking holes into it with metal utensils and then having to buy a new/expensive canister like I've had to do with competing ice cream makers.
I just love my Midas. You'll love yours, too!
