For a number of years, I've been wondering how to acquire liquid nitrogen to make ice cream. I knew the issue wasn't getting the liquid nitrogen, but the dewar. Casual inquiries usually boiled down to, "Oh, we borrowed a dewar from school/work."<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
To cut a long story short, I am not able to acquire LN2 for this year's BBQ, but I finally have a source for it, and some information about costs.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
There is a company called Cryotek in Upland, CA that specializes in delivering LN2 to various customers, including doctors, restaurants, etc. I spoke with Rick, who gave me some good recommendations. They only deliver Monday through Thursday (excluding holidays); they do not stock it on location. I'm not sure they even have a storefront.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
For a crowd of 30 people, he recommended a 5L dewar, which rents for about $24.50 a month. I would probably go for a larger dewar, just because LN2 is constantly sublimating, and my parties tend to be on Saturdays.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
The liquid nitrogen is about $4.58/L + tax, and there is a $15 fee per pickup or drop off.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
So next year, I'll be planning a food-hacking party centered around LN2. I need to get my hands on Cooking for Geeks for some ideas.<br clear="none">

This year, we'll still be playing around with dry ice.<br clear="none">
