Product Description

Salt plates impart subtle flavor onto food, resulting in a milder flavor than when using ground salt. Himalayan salt is rich in trace minerals, which adds to the depth of flavor your foods will achieve when cooked, chilled, or simply presented on the plate. Himalayan salt plates have naturally high moisture contents, which allow the plate to be heated or chilled to extreme temperatures. The Charcoal Companion Himalayan Salt Plate / 8" x 8" x 1.5" is a block of history many years in the making. The plate comes from an enormous pink salt boulder, harvested from ancient salt mines in the far reaches of the Himalayas. That salt boulder was crafted into individual blocks or plates. How to care for your salt plate: Himalayan salt is naturally antimicrobial and requires no cleansers. After use, simply wash the salt plate under warm water and scrub lightly with a soft brush or sponge. Do not submerge the plate in water. Dry with a paper towel to remove any excess pockets of water in the plate. Air-dry the plate for at least 24 hours before next use. Store salt plate in a dry environment until next use. Your salt plate's life: Part of the charm of a Himalayan Salt Plate is the naturally occurring irregularities and fissures in the surface of the salt, none of which affect the cooking properties of the mineral. The color and form of each salt plate is unique and will change when heated. With use, the plate may develop more surface depressions and will eventually dissolve completely. Proper care of the salt plate will extend its useful life. Caution: The Himalayan Salt Plate will be very hot during and immediately following cooking. Use a heat resistant glove when handling. Please note: We do not recommend using in the oven.
