Morton Ice Cream Salt, 4 lb (Pack of 8)

I was selected to make the Ice Cream for our summer family picnic. For years I used table salt with the ice and it worked ok so long as I could get the Ice Cream into a standard kitchen freezer to harden. Leaving it in the Ice Cream maker to harden never seemed to work. It wouldn't fully harden. I decided that I would go back to rock salt but couldn't find any in stores. I had to purchase it online and Walmart had the best price and it would be delivered the next day which it was. The first thing I liked about the salt was the smaller, more uniform size of the salt crystals which would work better in the small space where the ice would go and yet big enough to stay in place and not sink to the bottom of the tub like the table salt did. Once the Ice Cream machine finished churning I removed the dasher and replenished the ice and salt and covered it with layers of towels and blankets for insulation and it sat in the garage for 6-8 hours. When I brought the Ice Cream out it was nice and firm just like it should be. It had to be the salt that made the difference since it was the only thing that I did differently. I used a 6-quart freezer and used maybe 2/3rds of one box. It was a smart purchase and would say that you won't go wrong with this product and I highly recommend it.
