Tips for Grilling with a Pink Himalayan Salt Block
It’s been called “the purest salt found on earth.”
Pink Himalayan salt is mined from sea salt deposits from deep below the Himalayan Mountains in Pakistan. These deposits were formed while the dinosaurs were still alive, and rested far enough below ground that they were safe from pollutants and impurities.
So what does all that mean for grilling? It means that a Pink Himalayan salt block will give you a unique cooking experience.
When brought up to temperature on your stove or parrilla style grill, the salt blocks function like cast iron skillet. They can withstand incredible heat for dozens of cooks, and will give your food a naturally salty flavor. Here are a few tips for using your Pink Himalayan salt block.
