Salts Worldwide

How Much Salt Should I Use?


The first thing you need to know about Kosher salt is that it is pretty much as expensive as the next type of salt you can buy, but its probably still the most trusted type of salt in the world. The salt you see in your local grocers display case is kosher and is also perfectly acceptable by the kosher standards, so keep in mind that your local grocer probably wont be able to deliver the best kosher salt to you in time for Passover.

Kosher salt comes in a variety of colors, but all that differs between salts worldwide is the concentration of the ingredients. When deciding on the exact amount of each ingredient needed to make each salt of choice, be sure to consider the weight of each ingredient when figuring the price.

For example, the name kosher will tell you that it comes from kosher salt mines, but a salted sea salt is not kosher. Similarly, the kosher salt in your grocers display case may come from kosher salt mines, but their sea salt may be not kosher.

What we want to do is find salted sea salts that are known as Kosher and relatively inexpensive. That way, if you have a family, youll be able to get everyone involved to help determine the salt you buy for Passover.

We can start by asking ourselves what our needs are, and how much salt wed like to put in our food. Youll definitely want a lot of salt in foods that are considered Jewish, so well start there.

Kosher salt is most popular in chicken and fish, but youll want to know what to look for in kosher sea salt. Keep in mind that different salting methods change the cost of salt, so youll need to know that the quality of the salt youre buying will affect the cost.

Salt that has minerals or magnesium added will increase the cost of salt, and salt that comes in a container that looks more expensive than it really is will tend to have more minerals in it. So when shopping for kosher salt, dont just buy a box with the minimum amount of minerals you need.

The cost of the kosher salt should be more than the cost of regular table salt, and you should be able to buy a container of kosher salt with a decent price tag. Its also important to purchase kosher salt because it has been filtered, so as to remove any impurities and other minerals.

After you find the salt that meets your needs, its time to purchase the measurements for each salt. You will find that most suppliers will have their salt in an eight ounces and one teaspoon containers, which can give you a lot of salt in order to cook everything your family needs.

Make sure to measure the salt accurately, so you can get the right amount for your cooking and salt needs. Most places will have a salt measuring device that will allow you to accurately measure out each amount needed.

To use the salt, simply add it to your cooking water and begin your kosher salt soaking. Be sure to add enough to fully submerge the ingredients to ensure the water is completely saturated, and then bring it to a boil and wait for it to simmer.

The key is to wait for the salted water to be heated to a boil before adding the rest of the ingredients. Kosher salt may be costly, but it is the best you can buy for this holiday.
