Ice the larger bowl + +Put ice + salt into the larger bowl and mix. This lowers the freezing point of the ice so it melts and gets supercooled in the freezer;chilling the ice cream more evenly later on. +Put enough ice to line the smaller bowl. + +### Base Steps + +3. Basically dump everything into the small bowl and mix until the mixture is peaking. + +It's gonna seem like your making a whipped cream at this point, but that's because we're dumping as much air as we can upfront instead of later. + +4.
