Common Errors.

The most common mistakes when starting with Dolci and Creami. Avoiding them means saving ingredients and time.

Putting hot mixture in the beaker

Hot steam creates large micro-crystals during freezing. ALWAYS room temperature before freezer.

Opening freezer during chill

Even 30 seconds ruins thermal stability. Leave beaker inside 24h without looking.

Filling above MAX line

Above MAX blade doesn't spin correctly, below MAX the structure doesn't form well. Respect MAX line, always.

Skipping 24 hours of freezing

20 hours is not enough. Crystal structure needs time. Plan a day ahead.

Using low-fat cream

Below 30% fat, gelato comes out icy. Always fresh cream ≥35% fat. Never vegetable cream for classic gelato.

Eyeball weighing

Even "about right" off by 10g sugar or 5g protein changes the result completely. Always 0.1g scale.
