Making Ice Cream With Dry Ice
Helping your kids learn scientific principles through home experiments can be fun for the whole family michael kors mens watches sale uk. Dry ice ice cream is made by bathing your ice cream base in dry ice mixed with a coolant. As you churn the mixture it freezes into smooth, creamy ice cream very quickly. In fact, because the dry ice freezes the ice cream so rapidly ice crystals don’t have a chance to form, so your ice cream turns out with a much smoother texture. While your child creates this tasty treat she’ll be learning as well. Here’s how it’s done: Hammer Wire coat hanger triangle (This will be used to suspend the flask in the dry ice bath. Slip the hanger over the lip of the flask and squeeze the two sides of the hanger tightly to make a 3 pointed holder) Paper bag Insulated container for storage of dry ice (cooler) 1 gallon personal cooler for bath (such as a 1 gallon Igloo) Food grade stainless steel pot or “flask” (tall and narrow, like a bain marie pot) Electric hand mixer with beaters that fit inside the pot 5 lbs. dry ice 1 gallon denatured alcohol (coolant) This is a very basic ice cream recipe. You can use your favorite recipe. 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 cup Half and Half 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extractMix together the heavy whipping cream, Half and Half, sugar, and vanilla extract in the flask. This is a basic vanilla recipe. Place the dry ice bag into a brown paper bag, place that bag on a solid surface (sometimes the floor works best), and pound it with a hammer for about 30 60 seconds michael kors mens watches sale uk. Cut off a corner of the plastic bag and dump the dry ice into the insulated container for storage. You can put the lid on a Styrofoam container, but if you use a plastic cooler be sure to place the lid lightly. Never seal dry ice into an airtight container. As dry ice sublimates (evaporates) it creates a great deal of pressure michael kors mens watches sale uk. To determine how much denatured alcohol (coolant) to pour into the bath suspend the flask with your ingredients in it into the cooler then pour water into the bath until it comes half way up the side of the flask. Take the flask back out and measure the water. Subtract 10 percent from the water volume to get your alcohol volume michael kors mens watches sale uk. As you begin to add the dry ice to the bath remember that if you add it all at once the bath will boil over violently, making a mess. Add the dry ice a little at a time, beginning with the smallest chunks. After each addition watch the bubbling results before adding more. As the bath cools each added piece will cause less of a reaction michael kors mens watches sale uk. As you submerge the flask into the bath it will begin to boil, so go slowly to avoid a spillover. Bend the 3 angles over the edge to hold the flask securely in place. Be very careful not to get any of the coolant into your ice cream mixture. It will only take about five minutes before the ice cream begins to thicken. Continue blending the ice cream until it is as thick as you want it. In ten minutes you can blend a fairly large batch of ice cream into a smooth and creamy dessert. That will go away if you let it sit for a few minutes. You can usually buy a block for a couple of dollars. While the process of preparing dry ice ice cream may seem to have a lot of steps, once you understand all the steps it can be made very quickly. Allowing your children to make ice cream in this manner is a good way for them to learn the properties of dry ice and to feel the pride of making a delicious treat for the entire family. Cover the bath loosely with something that is not airtight, perhaps a loose covering of plastic wrap, and allow it to sit at room temperature overnight. The remnants of dry ice will sublimate (turn to a gas and evaporate) as it warms, leaving the alcohol behind. If you discover there are ice cream spills in the alcohol simply filter it through a coffee filter before pouring the alcohol back into its original container. You will be able to use the alcohol over and over again.(MORE)
