Rock Salt in the making of Ice Cream is used on the outside of the canister of cream. The Canister sets inside another container, usually with a crank-handle for turning. The turning of the handle causes the canister of cream to move and inside is a beater. Between the two canisters is ice and rock salt. The salt causes the ice to melt and also causes the temperture to drop around 28-25 degrees F. This is what causes the mixture to freeze and the beater helps to bring the mixture to the outer part of the counter where the temperture is lowest. And after a time, you get Ice Cream. Here's the question? Does Rock Salt lower the temp more and thats why it is used where the table salt CANNOT lower the temp......I dont know? Do you?

Yes you can just make sure you have plenty. 2 or 3 boxes. Okay surfrbabe be aware the salt does not I repeat does not go in the ice cream it self. It goes in the outer canister with the ice.

I pretty sure you have to use rock salt. Table salt is to thin and if you did use it, you would have to buy like 3 to 4 boxes of it. Its just unhealthy in my opinion. Plus rock salt tastes better in icecream. I brings out more of the flavor!
