First - I'm not sure why you'd want to - unless you're out of salt for your fries! :-)
Second - Aquarium salt is simply non-iodized/no additives salt, which is safe for human use. (You shouldn't use iodized table salt in your tanks.) It is not a special salt.
Aquarium salt is NOT the same as marine salt used for saltwater tanks.

that's not for nutrients, "non nutrients grade" rock salt = ice cream salt = halite = sidewalk salt = land salt Notes: that's the cheap, non-nutrients grade salt that we throw onto icy walkways and use to make ice cream. It would not actual pass into the ice cream, as some have discovered the problematical way, yet fairly into the wood ice-crammed tub that surrounds the bucket of ice cream. The salt lowers the freezing factor of the ice, which reasons it to soften. because it melts, it absorbs warmth from the ice cream, helping it to freeze extra rapidly. Use a ratio of one section rock salt for each 5 areas of ice. while you're out of rock salt, different varieties of salt will additionally paintings, inspite of the indisputable fact for you to use much less for the reason that finer grains of salt can could be packed extra densely right into a cup than super chunks of rock salt. the main important possibility is which you are going to apply too plenty salt, which will make your ice cream freeze too rapid and grow to be crusty. whilst employing salt different than rock salt, start up with a modest quantity and verify the ice cream once you have churned it for ten minutes. If the ice cream is only putting out to organisation up, you have the only right suited quantity of salt. If that's not yet firming up, you would be able to desire to function extra salt. If that's crusty alongside the climate of the bucket, then you definitely've added too plenty salt. Substitutes: kosher salt (extra high priced) OR table salt (extra high priced)

Well, they sell sea salt (coarse salt) in supermarkets, don't they?
"Regular" aquarium salt is the same - it's just salt, but may have some impurities. Just don't eat the salt that melts ice on sidewalks - guaranteed impurities there!
And don't overdo it! You'll raise your blood pressure, or go into osmoregulatory failure and dehydrate!

Absolutely! Aquarium salt simply has no additives like iodine. You can also buy simple salt without additives at your local grocer.

it's probably not as "pure" as table salt, and doesn't have additives in it, but I don't see why not.
