Better Living Through Chemistry [Thursday, July 24, 2014]
"Okay," Ben said, looking out the window at the thunderstorm clouds building up, "today's not exactly as hot as I was planning for when I decided to do this, but I've also never found a day it was too cold to eat ice cream in, so I'm sure it'll be fine."
He held up a metal cannister proudly. "Today we're making ice cream with liquid nitrogen, which is totally fun." He led the class through mixing cream, half and half, and sugar in a bowl until the sugar dissolved. "Now add whatever flavors you want," he said. "There's stuff for chocolate, strawberry, vanilla--and then mix-in for after the ice cream is frozen if you want cookies and cream or whatever."
Ben took his ice cream seriously.
"Now put on your goggles and grab your liquid nitrogen cannisters," he said, "and pour slowly while stirring."
Instant ice cream! Isn't science awesome, guys?
