The most essential and also the most fascinating ingredient for cooking. No matter what cuisine you just can’t do without this. People use quite a few varieties of salts for cooking. Share your ideas about salt here. I mostly used the normal iodized salt for cooking. I also use a bit of black salt for most salads. Once in a while, I use pickling salts as well since pickles tend to turn black or the pickling liquid turns cloudy when other salts are used.

Yes, it's actually funny that we hardly ever talk or disvuss much about salt.
However, do you know taking salt separately with food is highly discouraged.
That's why I never have salt on my table.

Ok most shows I watch they keep talking about sea salt and then Here you have talk about the different salts: black salts, pickling salts, so what is the differance in taste for these salts? What are the best use for each of the salts?

I am not sure about pickling salts but Black salt (kala namak or sanchal) is more than than black, and has a very strong, sulfuric flavor. Black salt is available in Indian markets, either ground or in lumps.

I use kosher salt and sea salt. as sea salt has less sodium than the table salt and kosher salt. It also seems to have a stronger salt taste. And I don't put salt on the table either. I figure if people have to get up to get the salt they might think twice about using more of it. LOL just my idea. I think it works a little.
