Comments on: Ice Cream, Uncooked http://varmintbites.com/2008/07/01/ice-cream-uncooked/ Food and Family in the Research Triangle of North Carolina Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:29:41 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Mauricio http://varmintbites.com/2008/07/01/ice-cream-uncooked/#comment-2194 Mauricio Thu, 01 Jan 2009 05:42:02 +0000 http://varmintbites.wordpress.com/?p=508#comment-2194 Oddly enough I ran into this same issue tonight (the Ben and Jerry's recipes with uncooked eggs). Since what I was making used the first of their basic sweet cream bases and the second one made note that it wasn't cooked, I rather arrogantly assumed that the first one ought to be so I did (cook it). It made a fine custard base and the Ice Cream came out fine (if a bit eggy). I later noticed that none of the egg recipes in the book are cooked and thus have egg on my face. At any rate you know it's a good recipe when it turns out well whether you cook it or not! Oddly enough I ran into this same issue tonight (the Ben and Jerry’s recipes with uncooked eggs).

YOU are the hero for the recipe. I'm just well thought of because I provided something on a "dessert night" spread that wasn't sweet! (and was great draped across a lot of other desserts.) ps – how arrogant of me.

At this rate, if you’re an average consumer, you might encounter a contaminated egg once every 84 years. Once every 84 years means you have a 50% shot of making it to 42 years. Since you've been doing this for 20 years, you have 22 years left of mostly risk free yummy ice cream. Many more if 100% of your egg consumption is NOT ice cream. A more reasonable ratio is 1/100 of your egg consumption is in raw ice cream form. So you have 2200 years. Eat up until 4208. But I'd bet you take your chances even if the math worked out worse. :) From http://www.aeb.org/LearnMore/EggSafety.htm#howsafe :

We would mix up a similar concoction then throw some snow (clean of course ;-) in for a very yummy 'ice cream'. It reminds me of snow cream back home in Kansas!

I'm having a hard time finding the low temperature at which the bacteria die (the high temp is 165). I've never made uncooked ice cream and to the best of my knowledge have never eaten any. You may have inspired me, though I may make an effort to get pasteurized eggs to use. Perhaps the freezing process kills the salmonella (or denatures their protein, whichever you may prefer)?
