    I did a short lecture on salt at the beginning of culinary class just to let the students know they had signed up for a whole new world of cooking. Most of them knew very little about salt which is a primary additive everyone uses. Needless to say, they learned something and I got their attention.

    chef!

    Thanks for the kind compliment and your comment. I watched your video. You are a TRUE cajun cook. That pickled meat thing is a bit foreign to me. I just make a brick roux and throw stuff in it. Instant etouffe. Justin Wilson would slap me silly.

    It's amazing how smells and flavors can bring back childhood memories. I remember the salt in the brine we used to smoke eels when I was a kid. Yes, eels. They were great! I know I'll never be able to duplicate it, because it's more than the smell and taste, it's THAT specific time.

    Maaaan Chef Todd was right about the gourmet salt fad... It got crazy and hooked me right in. I love different salts! And it's interesting to see this pre-Himalayan pink takeover video because since then you can't throw a brick without hitting some Himalayan pink salt. I see Sebastian down below mentioned it 12 years ago... His parents were definitely on the cutting edge!

  • @souljacker4570

    salt is something when i started as a chef that they had me taste 3 different types put a little on a plate lick your finger and dip onto and let the salt sit on my tongue for a few seconds and you can really tell the difference most interesting is how bad table salt tastes when you compare it to others its so much stronger the salt i like and buy these days is a mix of atlantic sea salt and pink himalayan salt in a grinder also i love your channel todd you have sort of brought the passion back you lose it after a few years and at home revert to quick more substance "toast" "fastfood takeaway" than a meal but you have really sparked my interest back up and for that thank you

  • @dumb_beard
    @dumb_beard 9 років тому +1

    Wow this was super fun to watch. You got another sub, here!
    Just wanted to say that I can't personally tell the difference in taste between kosher and iodized salt. Texture for sure, but the taste seems the same to me. I try to use iodized salt when cooking. For finishing a dish, yeah I'll use kosher, it's prettier. But everything up until the finishing touches is iodized, for me.
    I'm gonna go watch some more of your stuff now.

  • @Karmah01
    @Karmah01 9 років тому +1

    Very interesting! I grew up on table salt - aka iodized salt. I never knew there were any other kinds until about 20 years ago and that was sea salt. I love salt! It can bring so much flavor to a meal! I really want to try the smoked salt!
    ps - I collect salt dips with the little spoons! :)

  • @luisvaldez9988

    Salt is needed for life to begin as well as live and grow.
    So since it is essential for living, I think that we should only eat and use nothing but pure whole unrefined sea salt for best nutrition. The biggest difference between salts to me would be refined or unrefined. I have come to find that some salts say 'Sea Salt' but are still refined.
    Salt is an antimicrobial and anti-fungal. Our health starts in our gut/stomach. The balance of good bacteria and bad bacteria is the key. In terms of health unrefined salt is necessary to keep your insides pure and not feeding the bad bacteria.
    I personally love the taste unrefined sea salt brings to foods! Replacing regular refined salt with whole sea salt in recipes can actually bring down your sodium intake. I start by replacing 1/4 tsp per 1tsp in the recipe and then an additional 1/4 tsp (to taste) after it is prepared.
    As far as price goes, I do not think it is very expensive. I buy my unrefined salts from www.saltsworldwide.com rather than the grocery because most 'Sea Salts' are still refined. The prices are not overly priced but still not as inexpensive as regular table salt. The difference is in the nutritional value, health benefits as well as the taste, even by using less.

      paying more for unrefined - how does that make sense?

    • @berneemartin4383
      @berneemartin4383 7 років тому

      +mad thumbs, assuming that unrefined means more trace minerals (which are often lacking in our modern diets), then it is worth it to pay a bit more.

    • @madthumbs1564
      @madthumbs1564 7 років тому

      Don't fall for advertising BS. You get most of your minerals from food.

    • @berneemartin4383
      @berneemartin4383 7 років тому

      True mad thumbs, most people do get most of their minerals from the food they eat. But since I can't afford to buy all my food from local farmer's who farm organically where they return depleted minerals to their soil, I will continue to supplement. In regular (non-organic) modern farming practices, I don't think they care very much about adding trace minerals just the typical fertilizers Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium for the most part. Depending on location many of the trace minerals in the soil may have been used up many years ago. An easy way to get those missing trace minerals is from products made from ancient sea beds, i.e. sea salts. Of course, if you have foods like seaweed salads in your diet you're fine also. :)

    Wow! I never knew. I use plain ol' sea salt generally. But that would be nice to try some of those other salts especially with fish. Table salt is the worst salt. Salts ought to be taken in moderation, but some dishes just have no "personality" w/o some salt. Thanks again cool clip!

    One can't stress enough that these are finishing salts. With the exception of extreme outliers like the smoked salt, the difference in taste between salts (like the iron in the pink salt) will be detectable when they're sprinkled over the dish at the end (especially due to the texture), but not when you use them like plain od table salt during the cooking process so that it melts into the dish - that would just be a waste.

    Well the good news is that I've finally caught up to the present after about a week of watching all your videos in order, but the bad news is that I have to wait for new episodes. I thoroughly enjoy your videos as much as I do Good Eats, which is the only show on Food Network that I think is worth watching (aside from the Japanese version of Iron Chef). Keep up the good work :)
    Some suggestions for future episodes: using cast iron pans or stir frying.

    Very nice review and great information and clarifications on basic salt types. I like the Himalayan sea salt but I use more of the Celtic Sea Salt due to it's great flavor. It's all good but the bamboo salt is the one I do not like at all. Very bitter but live and learn. Thanks again and keep posting great info.

    You need to try Persian Blue salt - quite present to start off with, but then it just disappears leaving one wondering whether or not you have just experienced the taste equivalent of a mirage or not. Becoming big in Europe at the moment. We sell it under the name of holzbach salts.
    Keep on spreading the word.

    You can make your own seasalt, actually: Find a a clean unpolluted area, to collect seawater, in a bottle. Let all the water condense over the stow, or perhape in the sun, then at the bottom of the casserole, you can scrape the seasalt, out into a bowl, with a knife, and use it.

    What's "Best"?
    If it's best to you, it's best.
    I'm not sure how to answer your question.
    Is it best for a smoky flavor? Is it best for finishing salt? Is it best for brines and marinades?
    Tough for me to ever say "Best" when the entire video series is about people making their own choices for ingredients and what is best for them.
    If it's good to you, it's good.

  • @spacewolfcub
    @spacewolfcub 15 років тому

    mtoffle-
    I think canning/pickling salt is kosher salt: it just needs to have no iodine in it.
    I suppose all the extra minerals in the other salts might change the product as well, so probably the kosher salt is it.

    Fine. Let them be. Salt isn't the best thing for you, especially if you have high blood pressure. I enjoy different salts. Too bad for them. Too bad for vegetarians. Too bad for those that don't eat pork. They're missing out. My only problem is that the same person who refuses to use salt for health reasons will butter their dinner roll with 2 tablespoons of butter. Then, drink 3 glasses of Coke, and have layer cake for dessert. Nice job avoiding the salt.

    putting rice grains in to absorb moisture.
    Finally, salt is SODIUM CHLORIDE, if you were to make synthetic salt, it would probably the purest possible type of salt. From what I understand from the video, the different tastes you get from the natural salts are from the IMPURITIES.
    There is nothing wrong with the salts, don't be afraid of your "cheap salt", just remember to take it in moderation.

    I had a sushi dish the other day with "truffle salt". I said to myself...'salt is salt' but when I tasted it, there was a clear and distinct difference. It was almost 'not salty'. Like a mild salt. Can someone explain this one please?

    • @ToddMohrChef
      @ToddMohrChef 9 років тому

      Slap Stick - There are salts that have flavor because of the source minerals, like pink river salt or white sea salt. Then, there are salts that have flavor added to them like smoked salts and truffle salts. My guess is that you've had dried and ground truffles added to a basic salt to give the flavor.

    • @qigong1001
      @qigong1001 9 років тому

      ***** Thanks chef. I never cared about types of salt before. I didn't see any of the truffle bits, but I guess because they were ground up. It was a new thing for me, and now I'm looking everywhere to get some truffle salt!

Do not take my word for it, research it. And, consider using Celtic Sea Salt.

      +AngolaSun i'd be curious to see your sources, because, after reading your comment, I did some research. The research that I found was most sea salts have all the chemicals you listed, and kosher salt was about as pure sodium chloride as you could get. I'm not disagreeing with you, or saying your wrong, i would just like to see the sources you found your information from.

    • @madthumbs1564
      @madthumbs1564 8 років тому

      Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt is pure salt or sodium chloride (good). All salts are inherently kosher (I don't think anyone is deriving salt from pig's blood or whatever). Koshering salt (what it should be called) is more about texture and function. Morton Kosher Salt (and Sysco / offshoots) do contain sodium ferrocyanide (yellow prussiate of soda). Other brands of table salt and fancy salt tend to have kosher certifications (I don't know of any that don't). Liquid smoke is fine to use, truffle flavoring can also be obtained otherwise. When used as an ingredient; salt is salt (you won't distinguish Redmond's REAL Salt from generic salt in a soup). The reason not to use kosher salt? -Because there's often a fee for using kosher certification that goes to support Judaism which is a female oppressive, and racist religion (deut 21:11-13) that teaches to kill homosexuals (just like Christianity). Some call it an excise tax.
