The freezing takes place in the White Mountain

Ice Cream Maker by
using rock salt and ice as a refrigerant. Rock salt causes ice to melt quicker
by lowering its melting point. The “brine solution” or liquid that forms
in the wooded bucket absorbs heat from the ice cream mix and gradually
lowers the temperature of the mix until it begins to freeze.
If no salt was added to the ice, it would melt at 32 degrees Fahrenheit
and eventually the ice water and ice cream mix would stabilize at
32 degrees. Since ice cream will not begin to freeze until its
temperature falls below 27 degrees, we need to add salt and
lower the melting point of the ice.
For our purposes, we need a salt concentration, or a ratio
of 5 cups of ice to 1 cup of salt. This will create a good brine
solution. At this concentration, our brine temperature
should remain constant at 8 to 12 degrees Fahrenheit.
This will give us the rapid cooling and freezing
that is essential to making smooth, creamy
ice cream.
How Ice Cream is Made
Ice cream is made by freezing (while stirring) a pasteurized,
homogenized mixture of cream, milk, sugar, and other ingredients
and flavorings to produce a countless variety of ice cream creations.
