  • that couldnt be edible

  • Well, we ate it.

  • I want to do this. I do not have a dewer of my own ($600 to $900). Exactly how do I go about getting LN2?

  • Airgas will rent you a dewar. You need to put down a deposit, and you have to cart it away in a truck. But you can rent a truck, too. That's how I did it.

  • gloves are not smart unless they are tight fit. if LN gets in then it stays there on fingers.

  • Very true! Kids, remember not to do what I do in this video. Keep the gloves off.

  • Its plenty edible. Nitrogen makes up 78.1% of the air we breath, its perfectly harmless.

  • Alternatively, you can pour LN2 into the bowl, allow it to settle and stop boiling vigorously, and add the ice cream (liquid) drop by drop, giving you dippin' dots.

  • And btw, that's too much protection for LN2. It's actually not that dangerous (assuming you don't put your hands in it). Working in a chemistry lab, I pour more liquid nitrogen daily than most people do water, and the trick is just to not wear anything that soaks. So jeans and those gloves are indeed a bad idea. If gloves are needed, there are cryogenic gloves that resist LN2 soaking.

  • Won't the LN2 freeze and kill the salmonella??

  • Don't add eggs unless you plan on making a custard...with means you need to heat the eggs in the cream...both making the ice cream thicker and killing the Salmonella.

  • @Masterdude658 the liquid nitrogen evaporates as soon as it touches the mixture so none actually is in the ice cream
