- Jimmy Doherty is on a mission to find out if there's any difference between all these different kinds of salt we see every day, and if he could sprinkle a tablet of dishwasher salt on his chips, if he really wanted.

The salt in the mines was once ocean salt too ;)
I've never heard of dishwasher salt
It's a European thing
I guess you haven't had to deal with much hard water (water with a lot of calcium and other minerals)? To counter act this you need to soften the water, which is done with salt. And there are dishwashers that have a built in softener where you pour the salt into.
@@dennisverweij4817 Sodium chloride CANNOT soften the water. Instead it used to recharge ion exchange resin.
@@dennisverweij4817 Americans tend to use a central water softener. Unless you're me, who doesn't have one because the house never did.
what is dishwasher salt?
Who are these people calling? They never know anything....
That's kinda the point. But I'd assume they're usually calling generic customer services for the products they're reviewing.
@@TheDragonake
And like this time, they don not get the whole answer even travelling to the end of the world. Crap!
we just don't get to see the episodes they scrapped when the guys on the phone know the answer.
this really makes me question the expiration date on my table salt container
Lol they just want you to buy more
Like bottled water
@@hecman888water you can argue is leeching chemicals from the plastic bottle over time, so in general you probably don't want water bottles at all and especially not old bottles that have been hot and in the sun.
I didn’t get it: can I use regular salt in my dishwasher or should I keep purchasing the “special” dishwasher salt that is twice more expensive?? 🤔
Expensive one it is...your table salt is too fine, it will clog your machine. Also, anticaking agents, Iodine, Magnesium etc. defeat the purpose.
Dishwasher salt is pure Sodium Chloride. If you can find that easily, go for it at your risk, as it will likely void your warranty.
I'm also trying to find the alternative.
You can use coarse or rough salt which is cheaper than table salt. The courser, the better. "Dishwater" is a sales strategy.
2:06 So we have and have not the answer at the same time again. Dishwasher salt and table salt is and isn't the same.
Salt (sodium chloride) CANNOT soften the water. Instead it used to recharge ion exchange resin in your dishwasher.
Cheers for that
What the hell is dishwasher salt?
What do you think it is, make a wild guess
Someone who washes the dishes using salt instead of detergent.
Salt you put in the dishwasher for some unknown reason.
European dishwashers have built-in ion-exchange resins for water softening, you have to regenerate them regularly using NaCl.
Not completely true: table salt also has iodine and an anti caking agent to keep it from clumping.
Read the book salt, interesting
How do you clean table salt?
In case you were wondering, the difference between table salt and sea salt is that the latter is flaky and less dense. You can use table salt in recipes that call for sea salt, but keep in mind a tablespoon of table salt contains (i estimate) roughly twice as much salt as a tablespoon of sea salt, so adjust accordingly if you don’t want your food overly salty.
Table salt contains an added ingredient to stop the granules from clumping together, though I don't know what this ingredient is without checking. Sea salt contains more minerals which are very beneficial to our health, which table salt does not contain. If you care about your health, it's worth paying for the more expensive, good quality salt.
@@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order and Himalayan salt loses it benefits when heated.
@@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order worked at a salt mine and there is zero chemical difference between flakey sea salt and the salt used in table salt. In factory at this manufacturer, the flakes are made by spraying water onto the big mounds of salt, letting it dry and scraping it off. And like so called himalayan salt which doesn't come from the himalayas , it is exactly the same chemically when heated as table salt
Should have come to Windsor Canada!
i mean we can say that the water being used is either for cooking and for toilet is the same but we dont drink in those places so yes it may be surprising that same salt is for dishwashing and for table.
Salt substitute is Potassium Chloride, the chemical normally called table salt is Sodium Chloride.
Why is this channel getting so few views???
Wait what??? Salt dishwasher tablet??? You put salt in your dishwashers? Why? 🤯🤯🤯
Dishwasher salt??? The heck?
Must be a over seas thing
I was thinking the exact same thing 😂
It is used to soften hard water. Hard water contains a lot of minerals that will deposit on your glasses and plates. A little bit of Google and you it seams like the US is using "hard water dishwasher detergent" instead of just adding a kilo - sorry - 2.2 lbs of salt every 6 moths.
@@JoppeOSL ah ha! We call that water softener salt 🤷
@@JoppeOSL In the US people often are using a central water softener location.
Of course there's a difference. The "gourmet" salt costs a lot more.
Why to cave mountain to take salt out when we can get it from sea. What's the difference?
It's more easy and cheeper to harvest from underground than to harvest the sea water. When you harvest from underground you have to dig, if you want to harvest from the water, you have to make the water evaporate in one way or another and the water must have a high concentration of salt aswell.
@@loyd4you Thank you for the explanation!!
However, is both small from sea and from the same (NaCl)?
Is that we're digging out old dried sea salt?
@@muruganthevar936 All i know is that is quite hard to extract the salt from water than to get it from underground. Have a look at the precess of extracting salt from water and you will get it.
dishwasher salt has more salt added in it for longer shelf life.
Lol, I forgot that dishwasher salt is a thing in uk. Living in US, it just isn’t a thing in places I’ve lived, damn limescale in uk water is a pain.
your salt is a fossil
difference kosher salt and dishwasher sold
did they even mention "sodium chloride"?
So is the salt 6 million years old, or have it just been laying there for 6 million years?
Underground salt mines are usually formed from deposits that were once either shallow seas that got cut off or salt lakes that later got buried with newer sediments.
@@derrickbonsell sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid = sodium chloride + water.
So the question was, when did that reaction happen?
Humans wasting 6million year old thing for washing vessels 😂
astonished by comments 'what is dishwasher salt' if you don't use all in one dishwasher tablets, then you use dishwasher salt in a special compartment and rinse aid in another...
No such thing as dishwasher salt in North America... we use dishwasher detergent.
Not all salts are the same...!!! Some are even poisonous. Lead Fluoroacetate and Copper Sulfate come to mind. Salt is the formatted material from a reaction between an acid and a base...
Now you know salt doesn't expire.
Tf is dishwasher salt?
but sea salt is still from the sea??
this doesn't really explain that the difference is purity... road salt is often low grade and has bits of rocks or dirt in it... not to mention the equipment used to process it isn't food grade.
Table salt is terrible for health!
I wonder if these workers suffer from high blood pressure from breathing in so much salt dust while working.
No. It doesn't work that way. If thats the case then people who live on the coast for all their live breathing in all that sea breeze would have high blood pressure.
@@hieniemic I just googled it and it turns out people living near salt mines do inhale small particles of the salt and do have an increase in plasma sodium and an increase in blood pressure.
@@LenHarms Oh thanks. Sorry I was wrong. Thanks for the findings. 😀
So much is wasted on the floor.
WARNING: don't eat any salt you see, make sure you know it is sodium chloride.
I've tasted magnesium chloride before and it's not something I'd recommend. It's not particularly toxic but I doubt anyone could easily ingest a bunch of it either.
