Nutritional Benefits and Enhanced Flavor
By cooking on a Himalayan salt block, your food will be infused with the 80+ minerals found in the salt. Not only are these healthy, they will also impart a more complex flavor profile to your food. The low porosity of salt blocks mean they retain very little moisture. These two factors mean that using a salt block slowly gives your food a delicate salt flavor, rather than overpowering it.
Heat Retention and Culinary Versatility
The crystalline structure of salt blocks ensure they retain heat for longer, which is excellent for resting meats, or for serving food and keeping it warm. Just be careful when carrying your hot block! Himalayan salt blocks can be used in a number of different ways in the kitchen - you’ll be blown away by their versatility. Cooking - Salt blocks can be used for cooking just about anything: meats, seafood, vegetables, baking, pizzas, eggs.
Multi-Purpose Applications: Heating, Chilling, and Curing
You can use them indoors on your stove-top or oven, or outside on the grill or BBQ. Chilling - Try resting or chilling foods in the fridge on a salt block to give them a mild, delicious salty flavor. Curing – Salt blocks are brilliant for either partially or fully curing meat or fish. The salinity of the block will begin working when food comes in contact with a block, meaning you can make everything from gravlax (slightly cured salmon) to beef jerky.
