I have a freezer that holds a temp at 1 degree, will that hold ice cream? I put cold water in the freezer next to the indoor thermostat and not only did the water freeze the temp was at 1 degree. Later I was told that when they put ice cream in it the temp went up to 10 degrees. can you help me
I read that ice cream freezes at approximately 11 degrees F
0 degree
I read that ice cream freezes at approximately 11 degrees F
Technically it's still cold, but not enough to freeze to be icecream.
You add salt to ice to lower the temperature of the ice/water mixture. Without the salt, the temperature would not fall below 32.F, 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.
It doesn't, but it does act as a sort of anti-freeze for the ice cream.
Ice cream is typically frozen at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Most household freezers are set to a temperature around -18 degrees Celsius (0 degrees Fahrenheit) to properly freeze ice cream.

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.
The temperature of sodium chloride is not important in this case; salt is added to lower the freezing point of the mixture and to give consistency to the ice cream.
Salt water does not freeze completely when the temperature drops below 0 degrees. However, it does reach that point, and since it is a liquid, it is a direct application of the cold to the ice cream. I you only apply cold air to the ice cream, it takes longer to freeze, which results in large ice chunks in your ice cream.
Ice cream can be freeze dried. They sent this up in space with astronauts. You need to have or make a vacuum pump that turns the ice cream into a gas and dry it.
The ice cream is liquid. They pour it into the tub, and freeze it.
The temperature that ice cream freezes at is approximately 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Creamsicles are a yummy and enjoyable snack for many people.
