I spent my summers in Maldon as a boy . Salt has been harvested since the bronze age here from the sea. There is a field where a farmer graze’s cows . It was dug up in 1973/4 . As a teenager I saw the ancient prehistoric salt pits they used ( like large clay saucers ) to collect sea water and let it dry out . So respect for knowing about Maldon sea salt from Essex England .

Steve, this is the first time I really understood the difference between Diamond Crystal and Morton's kosher salts. In my cursory examinations I was baffled about why the finer size of Diamond was preferred by chefs because the Morton salt had larger, more easily pinched crystals, but the volume comparisons always showed the Diamond to have more volume per weight. Now that you explained the flatness of the Diamond versus the more cubic Morton's, it all makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

@sebastiencournoyer5768 2 года назад

The Diamond Crystal Kosher salt is a natural flake. Only one facility in the world produced this salt in St. Clair, Michigan. It is using a 100+ years old process called the Alberger to get the flake. Best salt in the world!

@DrGaellon 4 года назад

Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen recommends using fine salt for baking - the grain size is more consistent across brands, so you can measure accurately regardless of which brand (and in baking, accurate measurements can often make or break a dish). They also say it dissolves more evenly in thicker batters/doughs, though I've never found a problem using kosher salt from that standpoint.

@Reedkun 4 года назад

This is such a well thought out & clear explanation of salts. I love that you made this video. I’m a Southern girl & was raised to ONLY use Mortan’s Iodized salt. It wasn’t until I went to culinary school that my thoughts about salt were broadened. I’m a huge fan of the kosher salt & use it every day. I wish someone had made something like this years ago. I applaud you for making this & sharing your knowledge of salts. 👊🏽

@alexxander966 4 года назад

Wow how do you always manage to read my mind? Every time I cook, I guess what salt would maybe be best for the dish, but I’m never confident in my answer lol. Time to change that

@shanepasha6501 4 года назад

Great episode Steve, and I thank you. It puzzles me how a lot of restaurants fail to properly season there food. Especially pastas, a lot of restaurants don’t season their pastas, which kills the dish, and I am not adding salt after the fact. So taking the time to discuss the importance in choosing and applying salt is well appreciated.

Diamond crystal is pretty much nonexistent where I live, so Morton's is my go-to. Learning the difference between cheap table salt and kosher salt in my late teens made a world of difference, and I realized why I oversalted things so much growing up.

@amstreater 3 года назад

I’ve been using Maldon salt exclusively for years. In cooking and finishing. Maybe it’s less expensive here in the UK but a box lasts me a year or more probably. Only thing is that I’ve just learned in the past few weeks that it’s not iodised so this might explain some health issues I’ve been having! I don’t eat fish/seafood or eggs so don’t have a high iodine naturally in my diet. Gotta figure out either incorporating seaweed or using iodised salt I guess.

@talon769 4 года назад

@Trekker57 4 года назад

Very nice presentation. Thank you for the education 😉 I have just one question... In your opinion, which salt would you choose for a salt grinder ? I bought a salt grinder (Cole & Mason) which came filled with a very coarse salt. I don't know what salt they used but it has a subtle saltiness to it.

@JustinDCote 4 года назад

This is great. Thanks man. I have a crazy variety of salts, but always went to Morton over Diamond - going to try that out. If it's already been done, I apologize, but I think a "back to basics" episode on cleaning as you prep/cook, maintaining a cutting board, knife sharpening would be cool. Planning on making the carbonara recipe this weekend.

@way108 4 года назад

Amazing video! Love your content. I like to put Himalayan salt on slices of watermelon or lemonade, or salads. Definitely not for cooking. Atleast not for me. I do prefer Morton Kosher salt compared to Diamond Crystal. And in India people also use rock salt which has a slow release of saltiness. I haven't seen anything similar to that here in the US. Might check in some Asian store or something.

@invisiblekid99 4 года назад

Maldon is fantastic on steak and being British its everywhere in the UK. But I'm definitely going to get the Diamond Crystal for everything else. It's easy to get on UK Amazon, not too pricey and it seems so easy to use. Repetition is a high factor to seasoning/cooking and vastly underrated/undersold but both those kosher brands help a great deal with you getting to know how to season. We have salt like this in the UK but it's usually in small expensive packets.

@CarlVandenberg 3 года назад

My taste buds have always been very sensitive to salt. Often things taste too salty to me when everyone else thinks it's perfect. After watching this video it now makes sense why I ended up gravitating towards Diamond Crystal kosher salt as my go to salt of choice.

@Edibleaccents 4 года назад

Let me ask you this, what do you season pasta water with? Personally I think that’s the only thing the table salt is good for. It’s cheap and gets that function done anything else would be a waste in my opinion. Interested in your take

@shanepasha6501 4 года назад

Travel God-iodized salt, aka table salt, has no place in my kitchen. No good, period. Steve, in this episode, gave iodized salt more time than it deserved, but he believed it was important to make the point. For cooking, I mainly use Diamond crystal kosher salt. I use Morton’s kosher salt to salt my pasta water. Also, finishing sea salt for salads, last stage steaks, etc., or any thing that requires a crunchy texture, and it’s a last minute application. Going for the least expensive salt in cooking isn’t the greatest way for good tasty meals.

@paulwagner688 4 года назад

Yeah. That's the only thing I use the Morton Iodized for. Salting water for pasta and rice and what not. Also for BRINE.

@Edibleaccents 4 года назад

Shane Pasha I hear you, I gotta disagree about giving it more time to deserves. That is a product used by many families and households. With his platform it’s great for him to be able to address it and explain why it should be replaced

@JD-cf4or 4 года назад

I don’t know if this is a cultural difference but in Europe (I’m UK) we tend to have far more large grain sea salts than the medium kosher’s. Usually I have a table salt (v small grains) and a large grain one like the last one you reviewed.

@robertm4050 4 года назад

One teaspoon of table salt is a little more than 2 teaspoons Kosher salt, not a tablespoon(*said 3 teaspoons in video which is 1 tablespoon). Kosher salt and table salt are pretty much the exact same thing and one is not more "salty" than the other. They are both processed NaCl with the table salt having an anti-caking agent and iodine added. When measured by weight there is pretty much the same amount of salt and "saltiness".

@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW 4 года назад

I didn’t say they were not the same saltiness. I said the size of the grain changes how salty you will taste it which is absolutely true.

@robertm4050 4 года назад

@@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW There are very few things that you are using table or kosher salt where the salt isn't going to dissolve before you eat it. So the perception of "salty" will be the same. The finishing salt doesn't dissolve as quickly so that might make a difference in your perception of saltiness and textural crunch. Table salt is also better for baking since you don't have to calculate 2.25 teaspoons(not 3) of kosher salt is approximately 1 teaspoon of table salt. Recipes have measurements of table salt and being off can really mess up a lot of baking applications.

One difference between the Diamond Crystal and the Morton's Kosher salts -- Morton's has an anti-caking agent (yellow prussiate of soda), which is a problem only for pickling (discoloration), while Diamond Crystal is just pure NaCl.

@GI_Jimbo 3 года назад

Diamond Crystal is also better than Morton's because Morton's has sodium ferrocyanide as an anti-caking additive that has subtle effects on the flavor, and there are people who can be allergic to it.

Iodized table salt doesn't usually belong in cooking in recipes. It belongs at your table for salting at the table, not at the stovetop. You were also incorrect about measurement for salt, because you can measure by weight instead of volume. Several recipes do that. You also didn't mention the finest salt, popcorn salt. It is even more fine than table salt and is akin to confectioner's sugar as table salt is akin to granulated sugar.
