Scald can, dasher and cover. Fit the can into the socket in the pail, pour in mixture to be frozen, put on cover, adjust the cover to the cross-piece, and turn the crank to make sure that all is in working order. Packing—In freezing ice cream, 6 parts ice to 1 part salt produces the best texture with an increase of 21% volume. The can should be filled 4% full of ice before any salt is added, and remainder filled with alternate layers of salt and ice, letting it come a little above the height of the cream in the can. Never fill can more than % full, as it expands on freezing. Pack ice and salt solidly, turn crank a few times and let mixture settle.
