i am looking for ungrounded salt rocks in the shape of a cube. they must be a true cube. this salt must be edible for humans, i am not going to take a bath with it. i plan on grinding it and giving it away as a gift.
if you post links for whole salt rocks in the shape of a rectangular prism, i will report you. also if you post links for whole salt rocks in the shape of a trapezoidal prism... i will report you. don't waste my time.

Michael H, i know a cube is a rectangular prism. that is beside the point. i said true cube, so it was implied that i meant a non-cube rectangular prism when i said rectangular prism. i reported you for getting smart with me.

Seems like a personal choice - but I still wouldn't use table salt because you don't want "crystally" ice cream. It would be like freezer burned ice cream. Table vs Rock Salt for Ice Cream 5/20/2003 name David E. G. status educator age 50s Question - Rock salt is used for making ice cream. We have found table salt actually lowers the temperature of ice water several degrees more. Why is table salt not used? -------------------- David, It works quite well because it is more soluble than rock salt. It is not used much because it costs quite a lot more than rock salt. Regards, ProfHoff 669 ======================================... No reason. It "works" better because table salt is a much finer grain and so it comes to equilibrium with the ice/water quicker. The only "ice cream maker's" reason might be that you do not want the temperature to get too low. There is probably some differential in price, but both forms of salt are so inexpensive for home-made ice cream compared to the other ingredients, that is not an important consideration. Vince Calder ======================================... I am not by any means an expert on making ice cream, but I am willing to make a guess. If it is correct that table salt lowers the temperature even more, the water might freeze faster and create ice crystals in the ice cream. I doubt most people want gritty ice cream. You could try an experiment--try one batch with table salt and one batch with rock salt and see what happens. Pat Rowe ======================================... Rock salt is cheaper. Some ice cream makers do recommend using table salt, so there is obviously no operational reason not to use it. But if rock salt will suffice, using table salt in an ice cream freezer is like washing your floor with distilled water - too much added cost for not much added benefit. Richard E.

You are the seventh Ashley clone I have found so far. This joke is getting old.

Are you one of "them"?!?!? And all this time we thought Ashley was talking about flatulence... this is creepy.
