I use 1/4 cup rock salt per 2 inches of ice. So, I add around 2 inches of ice, sprinkle the 1/4 cup evenly over the ice, add 2 more inches of ice, sprinkle another 1/4 cup, until the ice is even with the canister.
I believe that Morton Ice Cream Salt is just standard rock salt, used in making homemade ice cream.
Yes, rock salt is used to lower the freezing point of the ice surrounding the ice cream mixture, allowing for faster and smoother freezing. It helps create the right conditions for making homemade ice cream by chilling the mixture evenly.
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!!
make sure plenty of air is whipped in as it is freezing.
there are particals that they use.
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.
The chemcial make up of table salt hampers the melting of the ice.
it does work better. But there it not enough "benefit" you could say compared to the extra cost. it's like washing your floors in distilled water. Little gain for the amount of cost.
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.
the rock salt serves as a insulater. I figured that out because without the salt the ice cream wont form As the salt dissolves it increases the amount of solutes in the ice water. When there is an increase in solutes in liquid, it decreases the freezing temp. The ice water, along with the newly added solvents, now has a new freezing temp that is below the freezing temp of the ice cream.
if you add to much cream of tartar the thing that you are cooking will turn into a big rock. Hard as solid
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.
