Rock salt also known as Halite is a mineral form of sodium chloride. Used to make ice cream and to bake potatoes and to encrust or embed meat, seafood or poultry for baking. Rock salt is also used to melt ice on sidewalks, driveways, streets and highways in winter.
When used in making ice cream, it is not actually used in the ingredients in the ice cream but on the outside of the ice cream maker to help melt the ice. When using rock salt for cooking be sure it is food-grade because some rock salt sold is not suitable for cooking.
