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.


Do you have to use rock salt to make 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.


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.


Why is salt added to ice cream when your making home aid ice in an ice cream freezer?

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.


What type of chemical reaction is involved in making ice cream?

Ice cream is just a mixture of cream and/or milk, and ice - sometimes with the addition of flavours, colourings and added sugar - so there isn't really any chemistry involved. Actually, there is quite a bit of chemistry involved in ice cream, from the ise of rock salt to lower the freezing temperature of the ice cream, to the formation of ice crystals during the freezing process and even use of the law of conservation of energy.
