I have seen stands at local fairs that make LN ice cream to order. It's pretty neat. I haven't done it, but they have 16 year olds doing it presumably without incident.
- cafard 12y agoThere is a stand at the Mount Pleasant Farmers Market in Washington, DC, that does LN ice cream. I've never tried it--partly because I don't eat much ice cream, partly because I don't see the point.
- mattmaroon 12y agoIt's a better method of freezing than traditional ice cream makers. Faster freeze = smaller ice crystals = creamier mouthfeel. It's also easier in many ways for them. You don't even have to have freezers, since you're spot freezing everything. It saves you from buying a batch freezer for making it, which is $30,000 used. I'm told that if you're buying LN regularly, the distributor will hook you up with the tank at a low monthly fee. So it's probably much cheaper to start a stand that way. The downside is it's a little less time-efficient. It's REALLY easy to make a 5 gallon batch of ice cream in a Carpigiani.
