Why Sea salt and salt? Someone educate me.

 

[dreamtheatervt]

Sea salt and salt do have effects on food due to different compositions. "Salt" (NaCl for those with periodic table knowledge) has a different composition other salts that are in sea salt (don't know all of them), leading to a different flavor. You really don't taste salt (I doubt many of us like eating salt plain or salt water), but rather the minor chemistry that happens between the food and the ions that form as the salt dissolves.

Sea salt is much better then regular salt (to me). I use sea salt on all my cooking...

 

[BigDawg]

I agree Marco...I like using sea salt has a lot more flavor to me.

Good question! They are hot though (NOT extreme by any means... just hot). Must come from the extractives.

 

[Cap'n Bones]

Yeah I prefer sea salt myself. This is just the first time that I've seen both within the same recipe.

Hey Defcon:

This is off the subject, but did you see my Carolina Pepper sauce at Julio's??

Thanks,

I'm pretty sure I did. All the sauces were on one group of shelves. He had a pretty good selection. In the chaos, I forgot to take a pic.

I agree Defcon, and easy to make. I just throw a bowl of sea salt in the smoker when I am smoking. I like the mesquite smoke flavored sea salt.

I like the mesquite smoke flavored sea salt.

Here in NJ, we prefer pressure-treated lumber. Chromium adds quite a unique flavor.

Heck yeah now yer talkin'!! Here in the South, we like to toss in a few chunks of old car tire for that added bit of smokiness...

Funny you should say that...back before I was a firefighter I worked in a lumber yard and people tried to buy treated lumber to cook with or burn in fire place...for all you scratching your head and pondering the thought, don't do it...would be your last thought. Kinda like "Hold my beer and watch this" famous last words of a redneck.
