What is salt used for in cooking?

Salt enhances flavor, preserves food, and is essential in many recipes for both taste and texture.

What types of salt are there?

Common types include table salt, kosher salt, sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, and flake salt—all with different textures and flavors.

How should I store salt?

Store salt in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to prevent clumping and moisture absorption.

Is there a difference between cooking salt and table salt?

Yes, table salt is typically finer and may contain additives like iodine and anti-caking agents. Cooking salts like kosher or sea salt have larger grains and different textures.

Can I substitute kosher salt for table salt?

Yes, but adjust for grain size; use more table salt than kosher salt since it’s denser.

How much salt should I use in recipes?

Start with the recommended amount in the recipe and adjust to taste; over-salting can’t be reversed.

Why do some recipes call for finishing salts?

Finishing salts, like flake or sea salt, add a crunchy texture and burst of flavor when sprinkled on just before serving.

Salt itself doesn’t spoil, but it can absorb odors or moisture if not stored properly.

Is salt necessary in baking?

Yes, even in sweet recipes, salt enhances flavors and balances sweetness.

How do I measure different types of salt accurately?

Salt crystals vary in size, so always measure by weight or follow specific recipe recommendations for the type of salt.

Can salt be used to preserve food?

Yes, salt is used to cure meats, pickle vegetables, and preserve foods by inhibiting microbial growth.

Can different salts affect the final dish?

Can I lower sodium in my recipes by changing the type of salt?

No, all salts provide similar sodium levels by weight; reduce quantity to lower sodium.

How can I prevent salt from clumping?

Store in an airtight container and consider adding a few grains of uncooked rice to absorb moisture.

It's very delicate and has a salty taste. You only need to add a little when cooking. This box is very convenient. When adding salt to dishes, just open the top and use it directly. Be careful not to add too much.

It's a huge bag, but the salt grains are a bit coarse; you need to control the amount you use, otherwise it will be too salty.
