When I get a chance (and if I'm lucky) I talk my son into tipping out the blocks, smashing them up with a hammer and bagging them up. Its surprising how may bags you get and it works good...........only problem is good son is going overseas so will have to do it myself soon. |
Was reading about how old fashion ice cream makers lowered the temp of the ice cream below the ordinary freezing point.They add a mixture of rock salt, ice and water packed in a bucket around the ice cream mix, which can lower the temp to down to maximum of -21c.Thought that was quite cool. The main point being few water molicules reach the surface in a given time ,so water freezes more slowly.If you cant buy salt ice in the sth is go to one of the fishing factories if you have one in town and ask for some ,may be able to help.Ie nelson chch,westport etc
