The issue with table salt is ...Dear, Dear Robert! <br /><br />The issue with table salt is not the Sodium Chloride, which constitutes 97 - 99% of the total, but with the sodium silicoaluminate (an anti-caking agent) and with the potassium iodide, sodium iodide, or sodium iodate (included as a mineral supplement). Oh, and some table salt also includes Sodium ferrocyanide! Yes, cyanide.<br /><br />The result of all this is a nasty, chemical taste completely absent from Kosher or sea salt. And also, BTW, absent from food cooked with kosher or sea salt.<br /><br />To improve your, ahem, scholarship in this area, not to mention your culinary efforts, please consult <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt" rel="nofollow">this informative Widipedia article</a> about table salt.<br /><br />FFiskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563358992094908683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140635431552056763.post-83905257736039576212009-11-24T20:28:58.821-06:002009-11-24T20:28:58.821-06:00Oh Fiske, Fiske, Fiske: such a display of Foodie m...Oh Fiske, Fiske, Fiske: such a display of Foodie misunderstanding: " I also included some kosher salt (NEVER use table salt). In fact, banish it from your house and use only kosher or sea salt. Your food will taste infinitely better, and people will assume you are a "foodie." <br /><br />Once it is dissolved, it is, I fear but Sodium Chloride. Hence the taste advantages of Kosher and Sea - which are to make a splash on the taste buds when not dissolved, are gone, gawn, never to be regained.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898460909824837147noreply@blogger.com
