Adding seed from another batch will cut your time in half.

Thanks for the confirmation, My maple buddy used to teach chemistry so any suggestions he gives me, I pretty much follow.

That's why we call it our Maple Meth Lab.

Notice the "MM" on our steam vent. When flipped upside down it reads "WW" Breaking Bad fans will recognize

I'd like to try this, but don't have either appliance. Is there another method? I have a food processor and used to kneed bread in it. Would that work?

You can do a quart at a time buy hand but it's a workout, I did it just once and bought a refurbished Kitchen Aid, the heavy Duty one, it was 199. I think, also works great for small batches of sugar.

If the Cuisinart's were still a bit cold would it speed up the process?

Probably, but it'll thicken up the syrup and might make it too hard for the machine to churn. I'm just guessing here.

Do you think the manual ice cream maker would work? The frozen canister would definitely cool the hot syrup rapidly; however, would it be too difficult to turn the paddles by hand?
