Well, it does make it salty. In all seriousness though, if you add rock salt while making home made ice cream, it doesn't affect the flavor, but it makes it colder.
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.
You need to have the salt in the ice around the chamber to ensure that the ice will stay as frozen as possible when freezing the 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 acts as an antifreeze, reducing the melting/freezing point of the ice. This makes the salt & ice freezing mixture much colder than that of ordinary ice, causing the ice cream to freeze faster and with smaller crystals. An ice cream with smaller crystals feels smoother and creamier in the mouth.I use a compressor ice cream maker, which requires no salt & ice mixture as it has a built in electric powered freezer.
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.
Yes, you can eat ice cream with salt, but it may alter the taste of the ice cream. Some people enjoy the combination of sweet and salty flavors.
It probably wouldn't taste as good as regular ice-cream.
Why would you? I mean it's so disgusting! Only a weirdo would do that! It probably taste bitter and not so sweet. My advise DON'T DO IT!! :( A pinch of salt in anything sweet makes it taste better. You don't taste the salt. But in the case of ice cream, salt is sprinkled over the ice in an old fashion ice cream freezer to make the ice colder and make the ice cream freeze faster. I can't explain how salt makes the ice colder but it does.
It makes the ice cream harden up more since the salt is keeping it cool, and it makes it taste worse then the original recipe since it dosent call for extra salt.
You have to taste a kind of ice cream and see if it is good.
Salt melts ice so salt will melt ice cream.
its tastes kind of like a salty and sweet flavor
yes most ice cream contains salt
no,because if you put a salt in ice cream the ice cream will be tasted not nice
Garlic. It has the most interesting cold then hot effect! You taste an ordinary ice cream flavor, then as it melts you feel heat from the garlic. No garlic taste at all if made right.
You can't really separate salt and ice cream and still end up with ice cream and salt. However, you can recover just the salt.
I believe that Morton Ice Cream Salt is just standard rock salt, used in making homemade ice cream.
