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.

Imagine never having to worry whether you seasoned your food. Imagine having a cooking surface that conveniently did that for you, and in doing so, also imparted a unique flavor to your food. That’s AEG’s Himalayan Salt Block for you. A chiseled out slab of pure Himalayan rock salt, AEG’s Salt Block can be used directly over a grill/flame or even with AEG’s SensePro induction cooker (using a metal plate). The heat traverses through the block, cooking the food kept on top of it, giving it a smoky flavor and an enhanced taste. You can cook anything from meats to eggs to even grill vegetables on the block and it automatically seasons your food while cooking it at the same time. The Himalayan salt has health benefits too, enriching your food with nutrients and minerals necessary for the body. – The crystalline structure of the salt allows it to withstand hot and cold temperatures and when placed on direct heat, and the block evenly distributes heat across its rectangular surface, making it perfect to place in the oven, on a cooktop or even a grill. The block also doubles up as a tray/plate to present your food too (perfect for salads or even cheeses), and can be cleaned with a simple wipe of a wet cloth!

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.

I just added a brand new Salt Shaker to the website! Pink Grapefruit & Vanilla Salt Shakers are made with Pink Himalayan Salt & Epsom salt. Both salts are thought to be good for sore muscles and irritating skin conditions such as eczema, acne and dermatitis. Pink Himalayan salt is packed full of minerals and helps to replenish and recharge. The mini bath bombs contain sweet almond oil which moisturizes deeply and buttermilk which is thought to help rid impurities from the skin, lighten dark skin spots and is a gentle cleanser. It’s scented with a balancing blend of pink grapefruit essential oil and fresh vanilla. Each jar contains 9 ounces of premium salt blend and 8-10 mini bath bombs. My citrus lovers, this scent is amazing. The vanilla tones down the pink grapefruit just a notch. I love it! Coming soon: Pink Grapefruit & Vanilla body lotion with shea butter and vitamin E, moisturizing body spray and traditional bath bombs. #saltshakers #saltshaker #bathsalts #bathsalt #bathbomb #bathfizzies #detox #soremuscles #recharge #essentialoils #allnatural #skincare #pinkhimalayansalt #mineralbath #magnesium #epsomsalt #bath #bathandbody #pinkgrapefruit #vanilla #pinkgrapefruitandvanilla #beauty #preservativefree #phthalatefree #vegan #crueltyfree #skincareproducts #saltedrockbathco
