Thx, I assumed, it freezes faster this way right? I just hate plastic bags, to many of them around may sound silly but alas.

What is the recipe for the brine solution?

Fantastic! I love Harold McGee- he is a food science genius in my humble opinion! Thanks for making a promotional channel for this book (which I recently purchased). Please continue making videos, and it would be great if you add in a bit of the explanation of the science behind food and cooking from your books. I will continue to follow your word in the kitchen as long as you continue to share it!

i dont understand the water and brine part :S

[Doddibot]

@slimjoel14 The ice cream mix is cooled partly by being next to something cold and partly by melting the ice. If it was freshwater ice, this melting would occur at a higher temperature (freshwater melts at 0C rather than -20C for a 20% salt solution). By using a brine, then, the ice cream is cooled more effectively down to a colder temperature.

@Doddibot Ahh, silly me! thankyou!

Very nice but I don't want to waste all those plastic bags.... Would the freezer work?

@ithacasz

They cost very little and can be reused to make many batches of ice cream. The freezer would work if all you're looking to do is freeze ice cream. But since it takes a lot longer for the mixture to freeze, your ice cream will develop large ice crystals (i.e. your ice cream won't be smooth). It's a matter of texture. The freezer would be much more suitable for granita, but not ice cream. Once the ice cream is done, you can keep it in the freezer.
