What to do with used ice cream maker brine? (salt, making, slow)

[Pooua]

After I make ice cream in my ice cream maker, I have a few gallons of brine and ice. What should I do with it? I don't want to kill my plants or dump salt in my yard. I've been dumping it down my bathtub, but I'm afraid of corroding the pipe fittings.

It will not corrode the pipe fittings whether plastic or metal.

Oh, good.

Might it cause my bathtub to drain more slowly?

Run it through a collender to get the salt chunks out.

I have a cusinart Ice cream maker, itdies not require salt or brine

Uh let it sit out and evaporate.

Use reclaimed salt for your next ice making adventure.

Just keep dumping in down the drain and rinse with some hot/warm water.

Save the dissolving salt I bet we can afford the $3 worth of salt being disposed of.

I just dump it in the sink, fill the sink full of water, let the remaining salt dissolve and drain it. At that concentration and amount of water always going down the drain the corrosion risk is next to zero.
