SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the impact of room temperature and surroundings on the ice cream-making process using zip loc bags and a salt/ice mixture. It concludes that while the environment does have some effect, the closed system created by the zip loc bags minimizes this influence, allowing ice cream to be made even in a warm room. However, extreme conditions, such as a sauna, may hinder the process.
