… eating ice cream directly from the pint.
It always destroys spoons eventually, might as well use ones too sharp, too tinny, too light, the wrong shape, or with just the wrong bend in them already.
Edit: for all the head scratchers out there, it’s a trait some of us neurodivergent folks have. Some forks or spoons or whatever are nice to hold, and some are actually upsetting to use.
My fridge freezer is currently set to -2f (about -19c)
My basement freezer doesn’t have a convenient temperature display, and I don’t have a thermometer in it, I’d guess I’m probably at around -10 to -20f (about -23 to -29c) some people go as low as -40f (which is also -40c)
Very interesting, maybe our ice creams are different but ours are inedible at approx -20 in the fridge freezer (chest freezers would be the rare one here)
The type of ice cream definitely makes a difference, more premium brands tend to be a lot stiffer than cheaper brands. And I admittedly tend to buy just some basic vanilla ice cream because I like to go crazy with toppings.
My brain defaults to fahrenheit, and that probably shapes how I look at temperatures a bit, but those temperature differences between our different freezers feels pretty significant to me. In warmer temperatures, for example, that amount of temperature difference could be the difference between shorts & t shirt weather and needing a jacket.
Also, for what it’s worth, my family once acquired a full container of Ben & Jerry’s that would have been served at one of their stores. The instructions on the box were to store it at or below -20f/-29c, and bring it up to 10f/-12c in the serving cabinet.
What’s a serving cabinet? I just leave the icecream on the kitchen bench for fifteen minutes
