Why Nostalgia Old Fashioned Ice Cream Rock Salt?

Nostalgia Old Fashioned Ice Cream Rock Salt is coarse rock salt for old-fashioned ice cream makers. Mixed with ice around the canister, it drops the temperature of the ice bath so the ice cream freezes as you churn.

How It Works

Salt makes ice melt at a lower temperature, so an ice and salt mix gets colder than ice alone. That colder bath pulls heat out of the ice cream mix as the canister turns.

Questions about this product

Ask a question ›
Can I eat this salt?
No. Ice cream rock salt goes in the ice bath around the canister, not in the ice cream mix.
How much rock salt do I need for an ice cream maker?
Follow your ice cream maker's directions for the ratio of ice to salt.
Why do you put salt on ice for ice cream?
Salt makes ice melt at a lower temperature, so the ice and salt bath gets colder than ice alone. That colder bath pulls heat out of the mix so it freezes as you churn.
Can I use regular rock salt to make ice cream?
Use salt sold for ice cream makers. Rock salt sold for de-icing driveways and walks is not packaged for kitchen use, so keep it out of the kitchen.
Is ice cream rock salt food grade?
It is not meant to be eaten. It stays in the ice bath outside the canister, so keep it away from the ice cream mix.
What sizes are available?
Size: 4 lb. The price shown is per 4 lb unless you pick another option.
When will it ship?
In-stock orders placed before 2:00 PM Eastern on a business day ship the same day from our Williamstown, New Jersey warehouse.

Can I buy by the pallet?
Yes. Pallets ship by LTL freight and the rate depends on your delivery address, so we quote it rather than guess.

Can I pick up at the warehouse?
