I use sea salt if I am tasting it. To rub on steak meat, sprinkle on top of foods before serving.

I don't at the moment have any fancy natural salts, ran out. Other than fleur del sel, which has a nice crunch, and sel gris which has some mineral flavor, I never found a taste from the others. Black salt tastes like nothing, same as pink salt. There is occasionally one that has more of the essence of the sea when I buy sea salt, very subtle. But, when I do have them, they are like a garnish, used to kind of some degree just if they make sense to be coarser or finer, like on popcorn.

I still use iodized table salt where I do things like boiling pasta, rice, or adding salt to a dish, because I don't have seafood often. Gimme that iodine :D

Havsno is made from clear north Atlantic sea water. Perhaps my favorite general purpose cooking salt. 10/10

Sea Salt or Kosher salt by default. Depending on the dish I'll also use Hiwa Kai or Pacific Blue, but both are typically 'after' salts...meaning not for cooking.

i fucking kekd

I use a pinch of ionized table salt almost every morning to make oatmeal, but other than that it's sea salt for the rest of the day. Do you think I'm getting enough iodine?

is seasoned salt degenerate?

>>9224857
Sodium Chloride

the cool thing about nutrition is that if you're really not getting enough then your body will tell you. Do you look like you're smuggling a balloon in your throat? If not, you're getting enough iodine.

No mexican food is complete without a bit of Sal de Gusano sprinkled on top.

Yes, yes Maldon is excellent - not as good as Havsno but very good indeed.

>>9224857
kosher 90% of the time

>>9225704
I would switch to iodized salt just to be safe. NaCl is always an ionic compound though.

>>9224857
kosher or nothing

sea salt has seagull shit in it

>>9227719
Chances are that your kosher salt is sea salt. Anyway, does anyone know why kosher salt is kosher? Does the Torah say anything about salt?

>>9225642
did we just become best friendos?

I only use fleur de sel, anything else is pleb shit

>run out of salt
>keep forgetting to buy more
>use msg instead
>everything still tastes fine, maybe even better

>>9227905
I wonder what the health effects of this are, just straight up replacing all salt with msg

Meat is kosher when it has no blood in it. Kosher salt is large and flaky, thus good at absorbing blood out of meat.

kosher salt because you can pinch it quite well, its not to fine and not to course, doesn't have anti-clumping agents, and over all is a pretty general use salt.

I've been adding none for a while. How long until I have problems?

Is the word "clean" pretentious now? I wouldn't think so, especially after seeing what pollution floats up on the beach in "France" sea salt regions.
