Salt is actively used by housewives both for culinary purposes and far beyond the kitchen.

It is known that salt has many beneficial properties.

For example, thanks to it, things become cleaner and retain their color when washed. Salt is also used to remove dirt from many surfaces in the house.

But not everyone has heard that you need to add salt to ice. This action seems at least strange.

Why do some housewives actually add salt to ice?

You might be curious to know that salt helps make ice even more effective as a quick cooling agent. If you do this simple action, the ice becomes even colder.

This is a very useful property if you need to cool something down quickly.

For example, your guests are already approaching, and the bottle of wine or champagne is still warm. Therefore, we put ice in a special container, add salt and put the alcoholic drink.

It is believed that in just fifteen minutes your container will be at a comfortable temperature for tasting.
