How does the ziploc method of homemade icecream work?

Question

i mean, the whole type of ice, salt, etc. how does this method work and are there other methods than the ice cream freezer and this ziploc method?

Answer 1

you can do the same thing but with a large and small Tupperware container or a large and small coffee can. ice cream ingredients inside the small one placed in the large container then ice and salt in the large one- shake up or roll around on the floor till done.

Answer 2

yes it works i did it in chem class- except we put a little too much salt so it tasted nasty O.o

Answer 3

It's the rock salt and ice and the shaking that does it!

What you'll need:

1 tablespoon sugar

1/2 cup milk or half & half

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

6 tablespoons rock salt

1 pint-size plastic food storage bag (e.g., Ziploc)  

1 gallon-size plastic food storage bag

Ice cubes

How to make it:

Fill the large bag half full of ice, and add the rock salt. Seal the bag.

Put milk, vanilla, and sugar into the small bag, and seal it.

Place the small bag inside the large one, and seal it again carefully.

Shake until the mixture is ice cream, which takes about 5 minutes.



Wipe off the top of the small bag, then open it carefully. Enjoy!

Tips:

A 1/2 cup milk will make about 1 scoop of ice cream, so double the recipe if you want more. But don't increase the proportions more that that -- a large amount might be too big for kids to pick-up because the ice itself is heavy.
