never knew dry ice can be eaten...i thought it burns...

[meadslosh]

@retrotw Yes, dry ice is much too cold to put directly into your mouth, as it will freeze the water in the cells in your tongue, gums, etc. But for the same reason, it makes it an ideal way to freeze ice cream, which has a much lower freezing point than pure water. When the dry ice touches the fruit puree, the transfer of energy from the fruit to the dry ice causes the puree to freeze and the dry ice to sublimate, or go directly from solid to gaseous state. It's science, and it works.

@meadslosh that is cool...honestly...lol im never a good science guy...haven't learnt any science since junior high school or intermediate....depends where u r from

if your looking for dry ice look in your phone book. Unless you live in the middle of the sticks and mile from anything you can most likely find it locally.

[ac3jc]

dry your wet ice with a blow dryer duh!

[malayrojak]

@dark0fday

I dont know which country you are asking this question from but here are two possible sources:

1) Any Ice Cream company (e.g. Streets Ice Cream)

2) Any Company that provides industrial Gases (i.e. Air Liquide, BOC Gases)

3) Highly specialised shops that sell only dry ice or other frozen product (in Australia we have one called Fiegerts Ice).

You should be looking for dry ice "pellet" and not block form. Make sure that you also ask for FOOD SAFE dry ice.

Good luck!

@dark0fday

A number of possible sources for you: (as I don't know which country you are in)

1) Any major ice cream manufacturer (e.g. Streets ice cream)

2) Any major supplier of industrial gases (e.g. Air Liquide, BOC Gases)

3) A specialised shop selling dry ice and "wet" ice (e.g. Fiegerts Ice in Australia)

Other things to note:

1) You should look for the pelletised form, rather than day blocks (or you will have to smash it up yourself like Heston).

2) Make sure it is FOOD SAFE.

Good Luck!

@dark0fday you can pretty much get dry ice at any chemical selling store. Just check the web, you'll find it.

[jamsbruno1]

@dark0fday use a hair dryer to dry them
