What kind of salt do you use when you cook or bake? I rarely use common table iodize salt like Morton’s because they are chemically processed. I used to use Redmond Real Sea Salt but have switched to using Himalayan natural rock salt. I would have continued to use Redmond Real if I haven’t lost it in the kitchen cabinet.
-
I use Sea salt. To me it has a better taste than table salt does.
-
I use sea salt, just seems to have a better taste and also like the pink salt also. You don't use nearly as much.
-
None. I do not like salt!
-
I have to watch my salt because of medical condition, but I do sometimes use the lite salt with half of the salt that regular salt has..If I absolutely have to have salt on something or I need a little extra, I use Morton's salt substitute.
-
I am to the point now I don't even use salt anymore i don't even buy it.....my son is the only one who complains about it. But he will thank me later
-
I use sea salt the crysyalized oones that look pink. sea salt is way better and healthier to use then proccessed salt but still use to much of either and it will be to salty. :peace:
-
I use sea salt and just love it.
-
I try to use sea salt most of the time because of the added minerals. But don't forget that your body needs the iodine. You just have to remember that no matter what type of salt you use it still has the same amount of sodium. None of them are 'good' for you.
-
I just go with what they have at the store for cheap. I never thought about being picky about it.
-
I just use stuff from the store. Sea Salt is good but expensive. Seems all the natural foods that don't use chemicals in the can or in the field cost three times as much as other stuff. If they are not using all the bad stuff then the prices should be lower and fairer so the poorer folks can afford to buy the products.
-
I would never use a salt or sugar substitute because I really don't trust them. If something's going to kill me, I prefer to know what it is.
-
I try not to use too much salt (it makes my hands and feet swell, I hate it) but do use sea salt occasionally. I like how it puts that crispy, golden brown finish on my meats (and the flavor).
-
I don't really like salt or use it. Everything already has salt in it, it seems like. I'm torn between sea salt and regular table salt. Sea Salt is great and gives you that "natural" feeling. But also I have taken into consideration that although regular table salt is chemically processed, it also contains iodine. Your body needs iodine and some do more than others. So I don't know how to feel about it.
-
The only time I wqould use salt is if it was required in baking. I don't use pepper on anything, either.
-
I use Sea Salt.It's better for you anyway.My blood pressure drops when I cut out salt.So the Dr told me to eat salt,just not overdo it.And he said if I had to have salt,use sea salt.I like the taste better anyway.But I like the taste of salt.
-
Not so much with salt, but i often used iodized ones.
-
I USE SEA SALT THAT IS HEALTHY FOR YOU. IT IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
sea salt
-
I am not a fan of salt so I rarely use it ... pretty much the only thing I like salt on is a pretzel

:thumbsup:
I laughed when I read this. Pretty much sums up how I feel.
-
You are a person after my own heart. I too only use sea salt. I just think it's more suited to our bodies since it is derived from natural sources. All I can do to maintain health I will do. We must take good care of ourselves and each other. :peace: :peace: :peace:
-
I got turned on to natural sea salt years ago and never went back. :thumbsup:
If you're worried about getting the iodine you need use kelp. Kelp is high in iodine. You can get it in capsules, powder or sheets (like they wrap sushi in). :fish:
I use a wide range of herbs and spices, then I don't need much salt to get great, complex flavor. :thumbsup:
-
IF AND WHEN I USE SALT I USE TABLE SALT. NOT A BIG PERSON OF SALT.
-
We use a lot of sea salt or kosher salt. Some times we use iodized salt if we are putting it in the water for boiling pasta or something.
-
I use Morton salt most of the time.
-
:fish: If you really think about it all salt comes from the sea. What we all call table salt is mined from seas that dried up eons ago. I do have to agree that the "sea salt" that is on the market now has a better taste and texture to it. Maybe that's because it comes from a sea that hasn't dried up millions of years ago.
-
I use sea salt.It has a better taste.
-
I prefer to use sea salt. Much better for you.
-
I use sea salt I think it's best for us, best for our bodies. We can easily metabolize it and to me it tastes better than the processed salt. I think we have to be more conscious of what we put in our bodies. :binkybaby: :binkybaby: :binkybaby:
-
Mostly regular iodized salt, but on some things sea salt because I like the taste and textur. Use Kosher salt for some rubs or baking potatoes.
-
I don't use salt at all when I cook. I simply don't enjoy the taste of it and if the person I'm cooking for (family/significant other/friend/etc.) prefers salt, I have a sea salt grinder that's been full for what seems like forever. My food tastes good without it. ;D
-
I definitely prefer sea salt. It has much better natural taste and nothing added to it. Plus there are so many natural flavored sea salts to use and try
-
I have learned to cook without salt, due to health problems. So i use more spices. Only if it does not contain salt. If someone wants salt then let them put what they want on their food. Although usually no one does. The only salt we do have around is sea salt and i have not purchased any in way over a year.
-
i have kocher salt but always forget to use it, how about sugar ? i had a five pound bag last 5 years lol, it was hard as a brick
-
I use Salt Sense. Its like a really light salt. It's good for those who only want to take the plain taste out of your food. I've been using it for years. I love it.... :wave:
-
coarse ground sea salt is good stuff, but good 'ol iodized table salt works fine for me most of the time.
-
Not a Sauntier, but years of working with chefs when I was young..I don't use Aaafa salt, anglesy salt, jukyom salt, gros sel, fior di Sale, kala namak, maldon, sea salt, iodine or kosher salt. Usually I sub..garlic powder and ginger for salt and or other herbs.So much of it in all the processed foods we eat these days.
-
I do not do much cooking. But, if I did I would like to try that Himalayan natural rock salt.And I think I would also prefer seasalt over a chemically processed salt.

sea salt

I do not use any salt! I have never been a person to where the first thing I do when I sit down at the table is reach for the salt shaker. I mean salt is the deadliest element in our food supply.
