Table salt and rock salt are sodium chloride - NaCl.


Why do you use rock salt in ice-cream?

You don't use rock salt in ice cream, unless you want salty ice cream. You use rock salt (though table salt or sea salt would work just about as well) in the freezer to get it colder than you could with a mixture of ice and water.


Do rock salt or table salt freeze homemade ice cream faster?

No. But ice and water with table salt dissolved in it, can.The salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water, so that it can remainliquid even when it's below 32° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius). In that condition,it can be used to cool the can in which the ice cream ingredients are mixed, andcan freeze it faster than solid normal ice could.


When making homemade ice cream can you substitute regular salt for rock salt?

No!! Sea Salt ice-cream would not be the same without the sea salt! Plus, table salt and rock salt etc. tastes much different to sea salt.... at least that's my opinion... Happy Ice-Cream making!!

Why is salt important in making ice cream?

Rock salt is used because it causes the ice in the bucket to melt, but at the same time to be cold enough to freeze the ice cream inside of the canister. I am of course talking about the hand churned ice cream. If you didn't use salt, you would not be able to turn the canister to churn the ice cream mixture into a freezable substance.


How does salt help to make ice cream?

Are you saying that table salt will not work when making homemade ice cream and is there another substitute?

Table salt (mixed with the ice) works just fine to freeze the ice cream mixture. There are other salts that can make the temperature colder, but they are not necessary and are usually more expensive than table salt. "Rock salt" is large grained version of table salt, it will usually keep the mixture cold a bit linger, but it will not be colder.


How is it that salt can be used to melt ice but to freeze the ice cream mix?

Salt lowers the freezing point of ice so when the temp. outside is lower then 32 degrees, the ice will still melt. When making ice cream, when the temp. is lowered, the energy given off is transfered to the ice cream making it freeze.
