Liquid Nitrogen Dippin’ Dots: DIY Beats Store-Bought!

[@h3rteby]

Dippin' Dots probably figured they could cheap out on the ice cream because of their gimmick, unlike regular ice cream brands that have to compete more on quality.

[@WalkerTxsRngr7]

They have to buy liquid nitrogen which isn't cheap. So I doubt it was to save much money. But they definitely charge more for the same amount of ice cream. More of a higher price than lower cost.

[@Econoclodge]

I mean it did start off as animal feed.

[@NodsWorld]

You do realize this is a 'D.I.Y.' project, right?? 🤔 has nothing to do with competition, silly 😅

[@sofiasofia-em]

@@NodsWorld I think they were trying to explain why the dippin dots are tasteless. As in, the base ice cream is probably not good because they don't compete on quality, their gimmick is enough to put them on the same level of nicer ice cream brands.

[@h3rteby]

@@WalkerTxsRngr7 What I meant was the selling point of Dippin' Dots is the novelty rather than quality, not that they were created to save money. Although children also usually don't care about artificial flavors and colors.

[@RadioactiveSheep]

As a chemist: using a separation funnel is a great idea! Also proud you used an oxygen meter during this video, working with liquid nitrogen is no joke!

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

as a food scientist, the pro way to do this is to actually get a peristaltic pump (must be able to use foodsafe grease/oil inside) and a smaller rainfall shower head and some silicone tubing and you can make a bunch and it's easy to lower/increase the drip rate pretty easily with a powered pump.

[@WoobCrab]

I'm a scientist who works with liquid nitrogen, this is hands down the most dangerous project you have had to date. If you're going to do more liquid nitrogen stuff, please have a pouring jig so dribbles won't snap freeze your fingers. You guys are great and this was really amazing to watch!

[@WoobCrab]

Also, please wear thick thermal gloves even when you are working around the liquid nitrogen like when you were scooping or stirring incase you get little splashes

[@iamaduckquack]

@@WoobCrab Isnt wearing gloves more dangerous as it can freeze the fabric to your skin whereas getting a small amount directly onto the skin will just roll off?

[@Greyhawksci]

Also a scientist who works with liquid nitrogen. LN2's highest dangers are under two conditions: Poor ventilation and lack of thermal protection. Assuming you have good ventilation, have thermally safe containers, and either wear gloves (assuming no submersion) or can avoid physical contact, this is very safe. Those are big assumptions which mean this is uniquely dangerous for children, even compared to fire, but it's far from the most dangerous thing they've ever done.

your local welding location... YOUR LOCAL WELDING SUPPLY STORE?! i am more likely to have dippin dots at my grocery store than a welding supply store! lol

[@Hololive-EN]

Can confirm live in Texas can't go very far without a welding supply store 😂

[@jthomas6080]

I've got two near me, midwest.

[@Aremisalive]

I thought the same, so I quick searched where to buy near me and found 3 stores, all welding and gas places. I live in the Midwest.

[@Just1Nora]

I'm in the southeast and have a local gas distributor and welding supply store. I have an oxygen tank, for a jewelry torch, that I purchased there and can get refilled cheaply, and my university had a rental on acetylene gas tanks for our studio. Whenever we needed more gas our prof called and got fresh tanks delivered. There's even a factory nearby, same company, that stores a lot of gas under pressure. I always feel uncomfortable driving past the blast wall. 😅 They have an absolutely massive tank of liquid nitrogen as well as ammonia, oxygen, argon, and more. The area used to be full of textile factories and industrial companies, unfortunately those manufacturing facilities have gone under, all but the gas and welding equipment supplier, that is. Lots of welding and machine shops remain at least. Good bit of natural gas too. I guess since I grew up here I don't think of it as abnormal or unusual. Edit: The two places near me are owned by the same large name supplier, but I think the difference is that one deals more in large-scale production and distribution, while the other deals with smaller businesses and individuals. The gasses themselves are pretty cheap, but as Evan points out, the tanks are expensive. The double walled, vacuum insulated liquid nitrogen containers especially. My little, basic, industrial oxy tank was like $85 (15 yrs ago) and at the time a refill cost me $8, though it's probably much more these days.

[@zoew_]

they have them at ace hardware near me lol

[@lincolnk4304]

Now that you both have this down to a science, I would love to see a "Does it dot?" series. You can make all sorts of flavored liquids, and then make them into your DIY dippin' dots. Such as, Cheetos, Doritos, pizza (you could blend it into a liquid first), etc. As well as making your own sweet ones from scratch instead of buying ice-cream. Thanks for another fun video!

[@maud959]

and just like that, I'm learning about another weird american food with evan and katelyn

[@jenniferw27]

I work in a lab that uses liquid nitrogen to freeze red blood cells. A stir plate underneath the container would help separate the balls! We use a syringe at a 90 degree angle to drip, but we also do small volumes at a time. Interesting video!! Only mildly concerned for LN2 safety 😅.

[@nikkiewhite476]

The process of freezing Ice cream mixes and airates it. That is why it is so creamy and fluffy. Unless it is melted completely it still holds the air. If you have ever forgotten ice cream out most of it will be a thick liquid with foam on top.

[@tookitogo]

Well, technically it’s not the freezing that aerates it, it’s the churning action which is done at the same time.

[@zeroblackenz344]

just a bit if info though ice cream air is purposely added to give them a fluffy texture as well as insulate the cream so it doesn't instantly melt into a goop. if u leave ice cream to melt u will notice bubbles rise out of it, if ur curious how it tastes just freeze it back again. some may think that adding air means less ice cream but it's actually similar to co2 added to soda where the air is part of the ingredients itself

[@susannewillert2685]

Different brands add varying amounts of air to ice cream. Think premium ice cream has less air.

[@GrandizerGo]

I thought that some ice creams used nitrogen as the additive. I seem to remember a Mythbusters episode about this.

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

this is not how things work at all. did big ice cream tell you these things? As a food scientist... the extra air is mostly to increase profit margins. Sure a little air is used to achieve certain functional properties... but not the amounts you find at your local grocery store. The best ice cream is much lower in air ratio.

[@Somerandommomcommentor]

​@@susannewillert2685 That's why Ben & Jerry's is so dense compared to other ice cream brands!

[@leo_warren]

As someone soon to be graduating in Chemistry, I feel obliged to add the purpose of a separatory (sep) funnel. We use sep funnels usually during reactions when we want to separate our product from any other products by adding two immiscible solvents (usually water and an organic solvent like Diethyl Ether, Hexane or Ethyl Acetate), shaking it up and allowing the layers to form. We can then remove the bottom layer using the funnel. I've just finished an Organic lab last week which had a lot of this.

[@thehummingbirdbandit9542]

Oh that's so neat! Thank you for the explanation, I was about to go look it up after I checked the comments. How accurate can you get with separation? Is there a way to ensure you don't accidentally end up with some of your next layer of product when you remove it? Or does it depend on the purpose of the experiment?

[@marekvojta9648]

@@thehummingbirdbandit9542 Good question. As you have probably seen there is a ventil called stopcock. When the dividing layer starts to move to the stopcock you gradually close it (lovering flow). Practically you newer end up with perfect separation you always have a little of heavy phase in the separatorry funnel or some ammount of light phase already flown away to the heavy phase. You decide what is better for you (where is the product you are wanting). When you are finished with separation you can always use some absorbent to absorb the rest of the unwanted phase (usually a water) from the second phase. Generally you don't want to put much of the absorption material into the solution because when there is no water left it may start to absorb the product lowering your yeald and your grade. On the other hand organics is plus minus chemistry (meaning gram here and there nobody cares😄)

[@divalea]

Congrats on your imminent degree! Thanks for the awesome explanation.

[@leo_warren]

@@thehummingbirdbandit9542 To add to what has been said, we usually add a desiccant to the product to remove any water that is unfavourable during rotary evaporation. We remove most of the solvent to then remove any remaining traces in a desicator. As fields of Chemistry go, organic is relatively relaxed and so being perfect of measurements isn't as critical compared to something like analytical. At that point we start to use standard materials as we have a guaranteed quality from the supplier.

The crossover we need but don't deserve! 😂

[@spamuel98]

If anyone wants to try this without buying and melting ice cream, you can just add some sugar and flavoring to heavy whipping cream or half and half for similar results. I used to make "ice cream" for myself by just spraying whipped cream into a plastic Solo cup and sticking it in the freezer for a few hours, and that worked fairly well. Though, to be fair, if you can afford enough liquid nitrogen to use it for ice cream, you can probably afford tubs of ice cream to melt down for this.

[@Zecko19]

PSA: What not to do with liquid nitrogen: Wear metal on your hands (ring)! Stir with bare hands an metal sptools (spoon)! Have your hands over the liquid while dripping into it! Pour from or shake the container without wearinginsulating gloves!

[@kpunkt98]

The first two i wholeheartedly agree with, the last two are a bit overkill, u're protected by the leidenfrost effect. Im working in a organic chemistry lab and the only times accidents happened were when somebody wore nitrile gloves and got some inside of them.

[@emmag4898]

I agree I use to run outreach labs for my Uni with liquid nitrogen and we used to do all sorts of tricks for the school kids including pouring to over our hands as long as you don't let it pool on your skin or leave your hand in the stream to long it is fine. You just have to be a little careful. The majority of cold burns in the lab were secondary when you forgot you cooled down a metal thing and then picked it up before it had warmed up.

[@cadborosa]

I feel a buret would be better for that as burets are used for singular drops specifically in titrations where controlled timely drops are important so you can accurately identify the equivalence point. But the seperatory funnel seems to work fine enough so no reason to spend more money ofc I love how this is the second time I've seen you both use chemistry equipment Ive used in school labs for stuff, the first I saw was the magnetic stir rod which felt like a cameo from my favorite actor or smth

[@FroggyNight]

Idk bout y’all but the Walmarts near me usually have a Dippin Dots (or off brand) vending machine just inside the front doors. It’s the type that uses a vacuum hose to pick up your container of dots from the bottom of the freezer. Impractical but fun to watch.

[@nefariousyawn]

Instead of microwaving and vacuuming your commercial ice cream, would it work to just mix up a quick custard like you would for homemade ice cream?

[@tookitogo]

Well, I wouldn’t use a custard base, since it seems a thinner mix is better here. So skip the custard and do a cream base without egg.

[@sammusson5317]

The ice cream has air in it because its whipped while or before freezing. That's why they usually sell ice cream by volume because the more air they can get in it the less they're actually selling you for the same price. Also more air makes scooping easier (think soft serve) and its possible to formulate the ice cream with less sugar (ice cream is not usually fully frozen, as it freezes ice crystals preferentially exclude sugar which forms a more concentrated sugar syrup surrounding fat globules, ice crystals and some sugar crystals. Sugar depresses the freezing point of the ice cream so that some amount is always liquid above like -40 C. This suspension is why you can put a spoon through it and it's not a block of ice. You can achieve a similar effect using more air and less sugar.

[@RoleplayHost]

i am a chemistry enthusiast and i like the separation funnel, i think it's clever -- the only thing we would get upset at or bothered by is lab safety violations lol

[@Dbk416]

I think removing the air reverted it back to cream and that’s why it went more liquid. When you make ice cream you are whipping air into it.

As a chemist, just a note: The lid of the separatory funnel needs to be removed, otherwise it will make the insides have less pressure and eventually the liquid will stop flowing. Common mistake that everyone goes through when using it for the first time.

[@Rosie-yt8nd]

the separation funnel usually gets filled with two non-mixing liquids (watery and organic) and shaken to separate molecules at different pH. the release is to *quickly* drain the bottom fluid so you can do another go. made more for a stream than droplets. for excellent individual drops you want stuff for *titration* where you can drip drip very precisely
