Hello all:
The strangest thing happened to me yesterday. I wanted to try a new ice cream recipe before the Christmas gathering, and when I reached for the freezer bowl of my older model Krups La Glaciere model 337 machine, which I always keep in the freezer (the bowl, not the machine), I found that the "stuff" in the bowl which freezes was sloshing about when the bowl was shaken.
The bowl has been in the freezer for a week, and should have been rock hard. Everything else in the freezer is OK, so it has got to be the "stuff" in the bowl that has gone bad. Has anyone had this experience?
I have ancient freezer packs that have gone through hundreds of freeze/thaw cycles, so I never would have expected this. I know that washing the bowl in a dishwasher is forbidden, but I don't own a dishwasher, so I didn't goof up there.
I have looked all over the internet for a replacement, but have had no luck. There is a gentleman on eBay with one for sale, and he claims that it will fit the machine, but I am a little leery.
The machine itself is in wonderful condition, with loads of life left in the motor. I would hate to chuck it into a landfill, and I guess that I can store it on a shelf in the basement for the time being. It just galls me that this has happened.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Does anyone know of a site or a business that I could contact for a replacement bowl?
Thanks for all of your help and advice.
Joe
