NO! Sea salt is made up of completely different compounds than regular NaCl. Included in this mix is a variety of Bio-Enzymes that originate in most aquatic animals. Bio-Enzymes break down the various metals used in the construction of most personal ice cream makers; while it may be used once or twice, inevitably it will breakdown the molecular bonds at the sub-atomic level. Quantum theory does account for such a reaction as proven by a scientific team at Los Alomos. Long story short is yes and no.

Rock salt is no different than regular salt.
No. Rock salt is used to make ice cream and melt ice on roads. Regular salt is not good for blood pressure because it will raise it.
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.
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.
Table salt has more artificial chemicals then natural rock salt. This really has nothing to do with it since the salt is never in contact with the ice cream. While rock salt is ideal, you can use table salt if needed. You can also make your own rock salt by heating some water, then dissolving as much salt in it as allowed. Heat the water until boiled. When the boiling water has become a saturated solution and cannot dissolve any more salt, remove the water from the stove and let it cool. As the water evaporates from the solution, the salt will form crystals. You can then crush the crystals, and you've got rock salt. It is usually preferable to use rock salt, because table salt is a finer grain. It dissolves quicker and effects the brine. The brine pulls heat from the batter. If the salt dissolves in the brine too quickly, it will drop the temperature of the batter too quickly. This will cause ice crystals to form in the ice cream, and a gritty texture may occur.
You can eat rock salt but it is in a crude form. It won't hurt you and is generally used to make ice cream and to melt ice on sidewalks.
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!!
Table salt and rock salt are sodium chloride - NaCl.
make sure plenty of air is whipped in as it is freezing.
I believe that Morton Ice Cream Salt is just standard rock salt, used in making homemade 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.
Salt is Salt. Buy the cheapest kind you can get. If you like to make a lot of ice cream then Check out buying quantity purchase of best price products. Do not use Maldon Sea Salt.
