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.


Can you use salt instead of rock salt to make homemade ice cream?

Yes, you can use regular table salt instead of rock salt to make homemade ice cream. The purpose of salt is to lower the freezing point of ice, helping to freeze the ice cream mixture. Rock salt is commonly used because its larger crystals help to distribute the cold more evenly. However, table salt can also work, but you may need to use more of it.


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.


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!!


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 does rock salt help ice cream freeze?

Don't know but it sounds nummy


How can I make ice cream using rock salt?

To make ice cream using rock salt, you can create a salt and ice mixture in a larger container, place a smaller container with the ice cream mixture inside the larger container, and then shake or stir the mixture until the ice cream forms. The rock salt lowers the freezing point of the ice, allowing the ice cream to freeze.


Will epsom salt work instead of rock salt for making ice cream?

No, Epsom salt should not be used as a substitute for rock salt in making ice cream. Rock salt is used to lower the freezing point of the ice surrounding the ice cream maker, allowing the mixture to freeze and churn properly. Epsom salt is not suitable for this purpose and may not work effectively in the ice cream-making process.


Can rock salt be used as table salt?
