How does halite work in ice cream?
Halite or rock salt combines with ice to harden and cool the ice cream in a hand crank ice cream maker.
Why do you need salt on the ice when you can use ice cream maker to make ice cream?
"The salt makes the ice melt. the melting of ice requires input of heat and this 'sucks' the heat out of the ice cream mixture causing that to freeze." You are correct. The salt lowers the freezing point of saltwater-ice mixture causing melting of the ice. Melting of ice is a process that absorbs heat due to the heat of fusion (80 cal/g of melting ice). Thermal energy is transferred from warmer (ice cream) to colder substance (ice/saltwater mixture). In this instance, heat is lost from the ice cream and transferred to the colder ice/salt-water mixture, allowing ice cream to freeze.
How long to crank an ice cream maker?
It depends on your ice cream maker. If you use a gel canister model, 20 minutes. Longer and your ice cream starts to melt. An ice and salt ice cream freezer can take a bit longer. Compressor ice cream makers take between 35-40 minutes. For more on the different kinds of ice cream makers and how they work, see The Ice Cream Maker (link below).
Why do you neee salt in the ice when you use ice cream maker to make ice cream?
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature to regular water, so the salt helps to keep the ice from getting too cold, and turning the ice cream into just ice! it also helps stop the ice from sticking to the metal barrel.

Do you need a ice cream maker to make ice cream?
No, you sure don't! You can put the cream mixture from an ice cream recipe in a zip-lock bag and then but that in a much large bag of crushed ice, or a tupperware container of crushed ice and salt. Agitate until the recipe freezes! There are a number of creative ways to do the agitation, the ice cream maker is just more effective and efficient
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 is salt needed for ice cream?
Ice water is only 32 degrees F, and ice cream needs to be much colder to properly freeze. The salt lowers the freezing point of the water. The super cold water is what will actually freeze the ice cream. You can actually get the temp of the liquid water down to about 10 degrees F.
