Did you know that a cast iron pan is not the only object that lets you switch from stovetop to the oven in the middle of cooking a meal? There’s something that looks way cooler and it’s so fun to use – the Himalayan salt block. 

A Himalayan salt block is made of recognizable pink salt and it’s actually not a new thing. These blocks have been around for a thousand years, but they are just becoming popular in the U.S. They are great for cooking and baking pretty much anything and will revolutionize the way you prepare meals at home.

Cooking on a salt block is actually not that hard. It’s all about preparation so your salt block doesn’t get destroyed in the process. The key things you need to know is that you should heat it slowly and dry it completely before each use. Once the block is hot enough, you can just throw the food you want to cook on it and wait for it to be done! As you probably expect, some of the salt will stay on your meal, giving it a wonderful flavor.
