For some reason when I read the title, I was thinking of salt licks for herding animals.
I worked for amazon for a few years and had to pack and ship those heavy @@$*(@)#ing things.
TBH, I think they are just a fad. Amazon is big on catering to fads. One year its neodymium magnets, the next its salt block candles. About the only thing consistent are the sex toys. And no, they aren't exactly discretely packaged as we have to grab them from inventory and pack them.
I can see certain advantages to knowing what the hot sex toys that women are buying are, but I really just want to try to do something cool with these salt slabs if I can.
Will the wisdom of the DP crowd save me?
I only need ONE expert.
I think.
:lasucks:
Did you make it past the novelty phase and actually use them? What was best done on a salt block (hot, frozen, refriged, room temp)?
Got some as a gift. Given the low salt idiocy that has swept the nation the idea of cooking on salt and very possibly eating a lot of salt has me interested, though it seems like a pain in the ass with all the prep time it takes to keep these things from blowing up.
NOTE: Have not used them yet.

I dunno, but the steaks cooked on salt blocks look delicious....
Brazilians rub big chunks of salt into their steaks before grilling, which I imagine would have same taste...and is probably easier as well.

Yes they do.
Current plan:
Watermelon/mint/feta on cold block
Scallops/steak/Mini Potatoes seared on hot block, served with greens and cilantro lime vinaigrette
Apple and caramel on cold block with butter cookie,,,,supposed to pile the apple and the caramel on the cookie.
Yummmm...I love all those ideas. I'm impressed, you're quite the foodie, Hawkeye. Now I want to get a salt block, too. :mrgreen:
It's the first I've heard of it, too. What do you mean "on cold block"? I thought the idea was to heat the block up and cook on it.
Salt blocks can be anywhere from frozen to 650 degrees, and they hold temp for a long time. For instance you can heat them up, take them to the table, and then grill on them for your guests. But you can also freeze em, take them to the table, and make ice cream on them.
Or so I am told on the internet.
