Does homemade ice cream taste better than store bought?

It's all about the flavor. Homemade ice cream, without artificial ingredients, fake thickeners, or weird stabilizers to keep it "fresh" for weeks (or months!) in the grocery store freezer, is amazingly flavorful and actually fresh tasting. It's true.

Why does ice cream not freeze solid?

Ice cream starts out as stuff dissolved in water. Through churning it at low temperatures, you get the water to freeze, but it can't freeze into a solid block because there's all that stuff in the way. So what you end up with is tiny ice crystals suspended in a matrix of stuff, not a solid block of frozen water.

Why does salt make ice colder?

Because salt lowers the melting point of water, if you add salt to ice, the ice will melt. ... Salty ice water can get much colder than regular water, though. While salty 0°F ice will still melt, its temperature won't increase to 32°F like it would in regular water. Instead, the salt will turn it into 0°F water.
