A helpful tip

 Adding a few tablespoons of salt to the ice bath will cause the temperature of the ice-water mixture to drop and the ice to take longer to melt.  

Add the salt only if you're using the ice bath to cool food that's in a pan or bowl, such as a sauce, rather than food that will be in direct contact with the water.

Never cool food at room temperature
