Why would you? I mean it's so disgusting! Only a weirdo would do that! It probably taste bitter and not so sweet. My advise DON'T DO IT!! :(

A pinch of salt in anything sweet makes it taste better. You don't taste the salt. But in the case of ice cream, salt is sprinkled over the ice in an old fashion ice cream freezer to make the ice colder and make the ice cream freeze faster. I can't explain how salt makes the ice colder but it does.

Ice in the barrel would not work because it does not get cold enough to freeze the ice cream inside that has dissolved materials in it itself goodluck e2020 student

Where does the salt in ice cream go?

Ice is added to decrease the melting point of ice cream.


When homemade ice cream is made salt is added to the ice that surrounds the ice cream chamber?

You need to have the salt in the ice around the chamber to ensure that the ice will stay as frozen as possible when freezing the ice cream. ;)

Why is salt added to ice cream when your making homemade ice cream in an ice cream in a ice cream freezer?

You add salt to ice to lower the temperature of the ice/water mixture. Without the salt, the temperature would not fall below 32F, which is not cold enough to make ice cream. The freezing point of salt water is below that temperature and thus allows the cream to partially freeze, a necessary part of making ice cream Salt causes water to freeze at a much lower temperature. Adding salt to the ice causes the temperature of the brine solution to drop dramatically, while freezing the ice cream inside the container. As the ice melts, the "heat" of the ice mass is preserved by lowering the temperature. (It's called "latent heat") It takes approximately 80 calories of energy to melt a gram of ice. That latent heat principle is used to lower the temperature of melting ice, thereby allowing the ice cream to freeze. It's an example of simple physics and is described in most physics books and physics classes.


When homemade ice cream is made salt is added to the ice that surrounds the ice cream chamber. Which property of salt is important when making ice cream?

Salt inhibits freezing (it makes foods have a higher freezing point), which helps the ice cream to remain soft enough to eat straight from the fridge.


Salt and ice?

Added salt lower the frezing point of water; this is important for the use as an deicing material or for ice cream preparation.


Why is salt added to ice when you're making homemade ice cream in an ice cream freezer.?

Salt acts as an antifreeze, reducing the melting/freezing point of the ice. This makes the salt & ice freezing mixture much colder than that of ordinary ice, causing the ice cream to freeze faster and with smaller crystals. An ice cream with smaller crystals feels smoother and creamier in the mouth.I use a compressor ice cream maker, which requires no salt & ice mixture as it has a built in electric powered freezer.


Why don't you mix salt with ice cream?

Salt melts ice so salt will melt ice cream.
