When you get home from get off work every day, the first thing you do is to open the refrigerator and take out a bottle of Coke, then add a few ice cubes. It’s so cool to drink a sip. It’s so comfortable and satisfying. I accidentally found that they are all “frozen ice cubes”. Why are the ice cubes frozen at home white, while the coke in fast food restaurants such as KFC is transparent. Is it because of the different water quality? Or is there something added to the ice cubes outside? It's really confusing.
Regarding the different colors of ice cubes in fast food restaurants and the ice cubes that are frozen by themselves, everyone has given various statements. The most common statement is that when making ice cubes, fast food restaurants will first filter out the impurities in the water, so that the frozen ice cubes will look very pure and transparent. This statement cannot gain a foothold. If it is a large ice factory, it may specially prepare a magazine for filtering water by purifiers, but fast food restaurants are a bit unrealistic, after all, the cost is too high.
The ice cubes we make at home are either tap water or pure water. Pour the water into the mold and put it in the refrigerator before the air is discharged. Therefore, the frozen ice cubes are white. The ice cubes in the shop outside are made of ice making machines. The principle of ice maker is also very simple. Its ice format is vertical in the machine, and the water is sprayed. The water flow is poured on the iron plate of ice making to form ice bit by bit. To put it bluntly, the ice cubes in the ice making machine are frozen layer by layer, so that the water will not be squeezed due to expansion when it freezes, so the transparency of the ice cubes will be higher, and the particles are even. I know how the ice cubes are frozen in KFC. Is it a little more knowledge?
So, the ice cubes in fast food restaurants are not what netizens say. They filter out impurities in the water or freeze them, and then cut them. Instead, they are made with a special ice making machine. It is not impossible to make transparent ice cubes at home, but they are a bit troublesome. In fact, whether it is transparent ice cubes or white ice cubes, they are colorless and tasteless. Adding them to wine and drinks will not affect the original taste of the beverage, and they can all have a cold effect. However, the ice cubes made by the machine melt slower than the ice cubes that are frozen by themselves.
It’s hot summer now, and drinking drinks and adding ice cubes makes it cooler and more delicious. Are you ready at home?
