Liquid Nitrogen costs about .50/gallon. Need 5 gallons/gallon of ice cream. So we're looking at $2.50/gallon. or .07/scoop.
The cost of an ice cream maker at $15/hour to make 1 gallon is $1. This is in a 5 gallon batch which takes about 20 minutes to make.
The advantage of using liquid nitrogen is the reduction of ice cream production time to about a minute with no curing time.
What is the cost of liquid nitrogen storage and the complexities of transportation?
We could use a modified kitchen aid mixer with a lid which has an entry port for ice cream mix and any mix ins then a tube to direct liquid nitrogen into the mixing bowl. No spill. With a gasket there would be a lot less nitrogen evaporation.
A pressure cooker might make it even better. actually a pressure cooker witha kitchen aid mixer coming in.
