For all you salty steak etc fans, this is a bonus recipe not on our original top 50. 

I was gifted various salts a number of years ago – they look beautiful in the jars but I never thought about using a whole salt block to cook on! 

As a young chef, I remember a certain brand of salt that had a serving suggestion on the side of the bottle – what bizarre idea I thought. 

Well, this takes salty suggestions to a whole new level.   

You will need:

To cook on a Himalayan pink salt block, follow these simple steps:

Prepare the block: Clean it with warm water (no soap) and dry it thoroughly.

Heat the block: Gradually heat it on the stove top (10-15 minutes), in the oven (400°F for 30-45 minutes), or on the grill (10-15 minutes).

Test the temperature: Sprinkle water; if it sizzles, the block is ready.

Cook food: Place vegetables, meat, seafood, or eggs directly on the hot block.

Cook and flip as needed.

Serve: Enjoy the subtle salt flavor added to your food.

Cool and clean: Let the block cool completely, rinse with warm water, and air dry before storing. Be cautious with heat to avoid cracking the block, and don’t use on overly salty foods.
