Salt inhibits freezing (it makes foods have a higher freezing point), which helps the ice cream to remain soft enough to eat straight from the fridge.

I believe that Morton Ice Cream Salt is just standard rock salt, used in making homemade 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.
The amount of salt used in making ice cream is usually around 1/2 to 1 cup per quart of ice cream mixture.
You don't ADD salt
small salt dissolves quicker
Add salt to the ice to make it colder.
there are particals that they use.
The purpose of using salt when making homemade ice cream is to lower the freezing point of the ice surrounding the ice cream mixture, allowing it to freeze at a lower temperature and create a smoother texture.
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.
Rock salt is used because it causes the ice in the bucket to melt, but at the same time to be cold enough to freeze the ice cream inside of the canister. I am of course talking about the hand churned ice cream. If you didn't use salt, you would not be able to turn the canister to churn the ice cream mixture into a freezable substance.
Yes. The water is from the melting ice.
