Kosher salt
The strange thing about salt is that it is not all the same, depending on the source. I have photographed dissolved and dried Kosher salt and it appears to set up differeently than ordinary table salt, possibly because it may be non-iodized. Gourmet cooking magazines occassionaly run features on exotic salts, some of which are red or even black, and I have read that pretzel salt is a variety of sea salt from Mexico. Makes me want to dig some out of the bottom of the pretzel bag and see what it looks like.

Re: Kosher salt
I'm a big fan of Alton Brown's "Good Eats" (despite my utter lack of cooking ability) and Kosher salt appears to be all he ever uses except for pickles.Olympusman wrote:The strange thing about salt is that it is not all the same, depending on the source.
