Today I have a surprise for you! I combined two reviews into one. I was actually going to write two separate reviews, one for the Sizzle Baby Pro Deep Fryer and one for the Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine. The reason I'm combining them? Well just continue to read and you'll find out quickly enough!
Sizzle Baby Pro Deep Fryer
Like the name says, this is a deep fryer. It allows you to deep fry a number of foods:
- Deep Fried Candy Bar
- Deep Fried Corn Dog
- Deep Fried Onion Fingers
- Deep Fried Chicken
- Deep Fried Turkey Leg
- Deep Fried Fish
- Deep Fried Cheese Sticks
- Deep Fried Burrito
- Deep Fried Bacon
If you have the Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine as well, and place this in your Sims house, your Sims can also make:
- Deep Fried Ice Cream
- Deep Fried Maple Bacon Ice Cream
- Deep Fried Ice Cream Fritter
When you put both appliances in your kitchen, the game gives you 500 free Lifetime Happiness Points:
The Sims are serious home chefs and have completed the New Kitchen Appliance Series by owning a Deep Fryer and Ice-Cream Maker. They have all received 500 Lifetime Happiness Points.
You can either choose to deep fry and eat or serve. You can serve all the choices, except the ice cream, those you can only deep fry and eat.
Now to show you all the different choices! I created screenshots and videos of each different dish. All quite short videos, and my Sim is being a bit boring, so don't pay attention to her haha. Deep Fried Candy Bar
Deep Fried Corn Dog
Deep Fried Onion Fingers
Deep Fried Chicken
Deep Fried Turkey Leg
Deep Fried Fish
Deep Fried Cheese Sticks
Deep Fried Burrito
Deep Fried Bacon
For the fried ice cream, please see the Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine part below! A Sim can really get hurt by the deep fryer. No new way to die as far as I know, but my Sim was hurt a couple of times while preparing some deep fried foods. I wonder if this doesn't happen that often for Sims with higher cooking skills…
Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine
What to eat on a hot summer day? Well an ice cream of course! With the Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine your Sims can make ice cream at home! You were able to see Sims enjoy an ice cream in The Sims 3 Pets (when the ice cream van drove around town). But you no longer need The Sims 3 Pets to have a nice ice cream. When you first use the Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine, you'll see a couple of options:
- Make ice cream
- Have some ice cream (greyed out until you make some ice cream first)
- Create new flavor
And if you have the Sizzle Baby Pro Deep Fryer as well, you'll also see these options:
- Make Deep Fried Ice Cream
- Make Deep Fried Maple Bacon Ice Cream
- Make Deep Fried Ice Cream Fritter
One you've chosen to make ice cream, your Sim will pour in some ingredients in the top of the machine and then the machine starts mixing everything, while your Sim waits. I hope I'm right about this, but I think the machine randomly creates ice cream in various colors. I've seen white/creamy ice cream, green/pink ice cream, white with brown bits, green ice cream and a couple of other colors too. Which brings me to the next option. You can also create your own flavors with the Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine! I tested it, and I was able to create up to 5 different flavors. I love how you can give the flavors your own name. Unfortunately you cannot choose a color whatsoever, so if you name your ice cream Strawberry Cream the ice cream can still come out green. And if I call it Stracciatella it might still turn out pink. You get my point. But I guess that's funny as well. And confusing haha. One thing I didn't get though, is when I tried to enter Vanilla, the game said that name was already taken. But it wasn't entered by me. And when I chose to just make ice cream, I didn't get to see a dialog with default flavors. Did I miss something here? Well if you ever find out, let me know alright? Once you have created custom flavors, you can choose to make these in the Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine. You'll get a list of all the flavors to choose from. After you have created a custom flavor, you can hover the machine and it will show you the current flavor.
And when you want to remove a flavor, to make a new one, you just choose the Remove custom flavor option. You'll then see the same list of custom flavors, choose the flavor you would like to remove and click ok. That's it. It's that simple.
Anyway, here are some screenshots and videos of the ice cream (and some deep fried ice cream) being made: Deep Fried Ice Cream
Deep Fried Maple Bacon Ice Cream To make this sort of ice cream, a Sim first uses the deep fryer to prepare bacon. Once this is done, the bacon will be mixed with other ingredients in the ice cream machine. What comes out is a bacon ice cream. Now I love bacon but, this is too weird for me haha. My Sim loves it though!
Deep Fried Ice Cream Fritter
Curious to see what the appliances look like when they are in need of a good cleaning? Well take a look below!
To be honest, I'm disgusted by the idea of deep frying ice cream, or pouring anything deep fried into my ice cream. But my Sims sure love it! I would have liked it if we could combine some servings from the normal stove/oven with the ice cream. But we can't ask for everything… Oh yeah, my Sim seemed to be choking a couple of times. What's up with that? I don't know if this animation came with one of the new appliances, or perhaps it was always there and I just never seen it. But it was freaky haha. Thought for a moment my Sim would choke to death. No new ways to die, no?
Both the Sizzle Baby Pro Deep Fryer and the Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine are customizable like most objects in The Sims 3 game by using Create a Style.
Some moodlets my Sim received after using the Sizzle Baby Pro Deep Fryer and the Frost-Bite Pro Ice Cream Machine:
I would like to thank EA for letting me review these two awesome new kitchen appliances. I would have never thought The Sims Studio would create something like this. But I personally think that if we have laundry in The Sims, we should also have everyday appliances like the deep fryer and the ice cream maker. Of course, my Sims will not be using this every day, but it's a great addition to a modern kitchen. I would love to see more appliances like this in the future, especially if they match these ones. Do you like the review? Do you like the ice-cream machine and deep fryer? Let us know in a comment!
