    Sorting Out The Sodium Chloride

    Kosher and other salts

    Sorting out the sodium chloride


    By Hank Sawtelle

    February 24, 2009

    Editor’s note: Welcome to the first installment of our newest column, Ask Hank.

    When using kosher salt (versus table salt) for cooking, should I adjust the amounts called for in recipes? It’s easy enough to adjust to taste in savory dishes, but what about for baking, where precision matters? Is sea salt like a kosher salt to be used in cooking, or a finishing salt? And what about so-called finishing salts?

    That column is a blatant rip-off! Besides, Alton would answered with a much more tongue-in-cheek response that would've made many of us do a spit-take.

    Uh, yeah. No offense to Hank.

    I'm not real picky when it comes to good information. I don't care where it comes from nor who as long as I can get it! But Good Eats is and has been one of my favorite cooking show!

    I wish the Food Network would bring back all of the old Graham Kerr/Galloping Gourmet shows. He was really funny.

    Alright all you Alton prospective educators what about sea salt particularly the gray sea salt from the Mediterranean area ? Do you use it, in cooking, in baking, ? I have done some reading on it suppose to be better for you, does Alton have a show on sea salts ? Most the reading I have found has been from suppliers, not many sites that go into the cooking end of it. Does any body have a good source reasonably priced on the gray sea salt ?

    Michael uses it all the time. Cost Plus World Markets carries it...about $10.00 for a good amount.
