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.
What else can I help you with?
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 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.
Do you add salt to the ice or the ice cream ingredients?
You add salt to ice to lower the temperature of the ice/water mixture. Without the salt, the temperature would not fall below 32.F, which is not cold enough to make ice cream. The freezing point of salt water is below that temperature and thus allows the cream to partially freeze, a necessary part of making ice cream Salt causes water to freeze at a much lower temperature. Adding salt to the ice causes the temperature of the brine solution to drop dramatically, while freezing the ice cream inside the container.
When homemade ice cream is made salt is added to the ice that surrounds the ice cream chamber?
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. ;)
What is Morton Ice Cream Salt?
I believe that Morton Ice Cream Salt is just standard rock salt, used in making homemade ice cream.
When homemade ice cream is made salt is added to the ice that surrounds the ice cream chamber. Which property of salt is important when making ice cream?
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.
How much salt is typically used in the making of ice cream?
The amount of salt used in making ice cream is usually around 1/2 to 1 cup per quart of ice cream mixture.
Will epsom salt work instead of rock salt for 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.
What does adding salt do to making homemade ice cream?
Add salt to the ice to make it colder.
What is the purpose of using salt when making homemade ice cream?
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.
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 do you add salt to water when making homemade ice cream?
You don't ADD salt
When your making ice cream does salt dissvolves in water?
Yes. The water is from the melting ice.
How is it that salt can be used to melt ice but to freeze the ice cream mix?
Salt lowers the freezing point of ice so when the temp. outside is lower then 32 degrees, the ice will still melt. When making ice cream, when the temp. is lowered, the energy given off is transfered to the ice cream making it freeze.
How is rock salt used when making ice cream?
there are particals that they use.
Why overrun is important in cream making?
Overrun is important in cream making because without it you will get a denser textured ice cream. Overrun is defined as the amount of air incorporated into the ice cream as you make it.
