CRAFTED ICE CREAM - OLD-STYLE
I was really impressed and fascinated by the fact that in México there is still ice cream made with the old pot-freezer method.
It consists of a pail with a lid placed inside a tub filled with ice and salt; the temperature of the ingredients is reduced by the mixture of the two elements. The salt water is cooled by the ice, and the action of the salt on the ice causes it to (partially) melt, absorbing latent heat and bringing the mixture below the freezing point of pure water.
I remember as a child watching "el de las nieves" or streeet ice cream vendor, turning that pail endlessly to speed up the process..
