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.

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.


Why is salt important in making ice cream?

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.


When your making ice cream does salt dissvolves in water?
