Because the liquid N2 cools down the cream REAL fast , the ice crystals in the ice cream are very small. Makes for a very smooth ice cream.

we need it for fog effects too, as the building doesn't allow smoke... and we'll need to transport it about an hour or so. We want the solid form, no ? I was assuming our DJ would handle the fog effects from there... the solid form. Or am I misunderstanding something ?


The problem with dry ice for fog effects is that it works fine initially, but when immersed in water, it ices over and covers the dry ice, and the fog becomes less and less, until very little comes out. That's why N2 works better.

Do they actually sell liquid nitrogen to the public without a license of some sort?


Sure, its just liquid Air. You may need to rent (or borrow) a dewer to transport it, otherwise it will boil off rapidly in a regular container.
