E tal,

If you use crushed dry ice, just remember that's it CO2 which sublimes rather than melts, and althought it is usuallythought of as a simple asphyxiant, it also has vasoilating properties and in a smal lenclosed space, can be fatal. We had a crew of a C-130B aircraft once transporting fresh foods, eamaned overnight,and in the morning, the entire crew had CO2 poisoning. Old USAFR Flight Surgeon story, but true as well. Fortunately, theyall were overcome before taking off and nothing reall bad happened.

Proper ventilation iis always a goor idea!

I wonder - could you do similar with crushed dry ice? Sounds like a weekend project to me -..

Thanks for the recipe, David. In the absence of LN2, that'd freeze up nicely in an ice cream freezer, too.

Hi Melissa,

I have made liquid nitrogen ice cream for years with no problems. Here is the link to my procedure http://www.chymist.com/Liquid%20N2%20ice%20cream.pdf

Remember, you are working with a cryogenic fluid. Safety procedures must be followed as well a food safety procedures..

At the ACS meeting in Boston, the RSC hired the Wiches of Boston to make liquid nitrogen ice cream at their booth in the exposition. They used my recipe. http://www.chymist.com/Liquid%20N2%20ice%20cream.pdf

Best regards,

David
