How to make ice cream?

As we know from childhood, ice cream - it's difficult to frozen milk because if you shove the milk in the freezer, we'll get a piece of ice.
I present to you - a trip to the ice cream factory - Noginsk Khladokombinat.
It will reveal all the secrets of the production of ice cream.





We begin our acquaintance with the factory of ice cream with waffle shop. Then make cups, cones and pellets, which are then filled with a sweet treat.

Huge sheets of hand-cut, folded into a box.

Children are happy to burst fragrant hot waffles.

Molds for baking waffle cones:



Finished cups



and this is for a batch of horns:



Boxes with waffles go to the next shop for a reunion with ice cream. Everywhere in the plant control. Here automatic sensor counts the number of boxes that drove past. To heighten the control of the camera is installed.



Before the plant is no particular control was not. Employees recruited ice cream home. In one case, it pulled the whole condensed milk and buyers were surprised - in ice cream is clearly something is missing.

But recently the plant has a new owner. The first innovation was the installation of cameras and a new control system. Now, employees are prohibited to take home ice cream - only to buy.

So, from what do the ice cream? The basis of the cream consists of five ingredients: water, condensed milk, cream, milk and sugar.
All components in the right proportions filled with a huge bath.



Within each bath whisks neatly stirred mass. The process lasts several hours. It is essential that dry milk or cocoa, not a single lump.



Then our future ice cream with a pump through the pipes goes to the top floor.



... Here, the mixture is heated to a temperature of 80 degrees. Why, it's not some soup?
The thing is that at this temperature the bacteria die, a process called pasteurization. This is done in order to not spoil the ice longer.



One boy asked to try to get a mixture. He poured a glass. He took a sip and then spit out a cry: "how disgusting it is your ice cream." Out of water, milk, condensed milk, cream and sugar gives a very sugary mixture, which is simply impossible to have. But this turns into a semi-finished product inedible plombirnuyu yummy?



Open your most important secret of the production of ice cream. In fact, all the favorite treat is made from ... air. The concentrated mixture was saturated with oxygen, it becomes air and not cloying. And voila - ice cream is ready! In fact, the production of ice cream - a very profitable business, because its main ingredient - air - absolutely free. But, in contrast to the cakes and pastries, is obtained a low-calorie treat.

In addition to oxygen saturation we still have our freeze mixture. Cooled down after pasteurization future of ice cream goes in a new procedure - in tube refrigerators.



Now you need ice cream to freeze as soon as possible. Why is there a rush important?

And try to freeze the milk in the freezer? Get ice cream? No, just a piece of ice milk. Why is that? In the long-frozen ice forms. If the mixture is cooled rapidly, the water does not have time to turn into large crystals and ice cream is soft. That's why we did not get a normal ice cream at home.

Common fridge does not have a function of instantaneous freezing. Therefore Refrigerated used tricky installation. A large pipe is surrounded with ice in small tubes which contain liquid nitrogen. (on a photo under the cover of the pipe with nitrogen entangle container delicacy).



After such quenching can already be safely frozen mixture on - the ice will be gone.

Manufacture of ice cream - it is seasonal. In summer, a huge demand for warehouses do not lie, refrigerating plant running at full capacity. With the decline in demand and reduced production capacity. Winter production, generally closed. And it earns plant for delivery of cold rooms for rent. Here, keep the fish, meat and other products that require freezing.



We visited one of the freezers. Then I do not get enough attention from others. Hug me, who do not len.30 degrees. Brrrrr ....



From the ceiling hang menacingly icicles. Starts desperately freeze accustomed to Moscow hot summer nose.



...



The employee is required to check that no one was left inside, and then closed the massive door to the realm of the cold.



And we go to the main hall. This is the last step.
Cream cups, finally, meets with a delicious filling



And it turns creme brulee in the cup.



Waste not disappear, go to animal feed. For example, the bears from the Moscow zoo just love ice cream!



And in a factory making cakes. This is also ice cream, real cream:



...



Take the round plombirnaya basis:



And manually using a hot knife cut figure. The technology is similar to the manufacture of ice sculptures
