Himalayan Pink Salt can be cooked, cooked, served, and sprinkled on top of food or included in spice mixes for just about any dish you can dream of! Recipes using pink Himalayan salt are becoming more and more popular and thus starting to gain in numbers, although there are literally thousands of recipes waiting to be discovered! Its solid and naturally compressed nature is due to hiding for eons, under extreme pressure, deep in the Himalayan mountains that allow for more forms and uses of salt than can be found in most other salts. Certain forms of this special salt can be used for a unique gourmet presentation of your food while adding varying degrees of rich, savory flavor to any dish.
One such shape is the Himalayan Pink Salt, block, or kitchen slab. Salt grills provide a unique gourmet cooking experience as you actually grill your food directly on a block of natural salt. The salinity that food acquires with this technique can be adjusted with the use of different amounts of liquids, such as oils or juices, and it also depends on the amount of moisture inherent in the type of food you are cooking. The latter factor is best explained by considering the liquid content of fruit versus the liquid content of dry food such as a London Broil steak. Simply put, the more moisture you put on a salt plate, tray or grill, with your food, the more salt will be absorbed and the saltier your food will have.
Himalayan Pink Salt Bowls can be used as a salad mixing plate, adding a touch of salty flavor to fresh vegetables or even fresh fruit salads. They can also be used to serve cold soups and even ice cream, for a sweet and savory delicacy in an exceptionally delicious presentation that your guests and family will love. Salt bowls and plates, along with blocks and slabs, can also be used to cure foods with salt. There are even sushi presentation blocks for cooling, curing, and/or serving your signature sushi dishes.
