can i make homemade 'ZipLock' ice cream substituting sea salt for rock salt?

Answer 1

sea salt sounds like and expensive alternative.
Use table salt instead of rock salt.

Edit...
Whoever is telling you NOT to use table salt or sea salt is incorrect, to put it nicely.
Salt is salt so it should NOT matter if it's rock or table. Sea salt may contain other types of impurities, but in the long run should work too. I just cost more, but you're doing ZipLoc ice cream. It's not like you're making gallons and gallons of ice cream.

Here's kind of the answer to your question courtesy of the US goverment. (Our taxpayer money at work... lol)

Answer 2

If it's finely ground, you're going to need a LOT of salt to do the job. I suggest going to the store and getting a box of rock salt if you can; kosher salt works too. Otherwise, you can certainly TRY the sea salt; the worst you'll have is quasi-solid ice cream, and it will still TASTE good :-)

Answer 3

well, don't use table salt. Can you not find rock salt at the store? I'm really in a quandary on this one, I want to say no, but I'm thinking maybe

Answer 4

I've use either rock salt or large grain sea salt.

Answer 5
