Sure, I'd seen the slabs around - stacked high on the shelves at Williams-Sonoma, forming a brick wall of pink at Sur La Table - but I'd assumed it was just another specialty trinket for experimental cooks. [...] with a tendency to use even normal kitchen appliances less than planned after purchase, this seemed like something I should avoid at all costs.
I've been a fan of Himalayan Salt and salt lamps for a long time, and in the past few months I've also come to love cooking with a himalayan salt block or cooking tile.

This summer take a walk on the natural side and do some chilling, grilling and serving with trace minerals and million-year-old salt with a Himalayan Salt Block. These salt "plates" come from ancient Himalayan sea-salt deposits harvested in tunnels way underground, and truly are 100% Himalayan sea salt.
My latest obsession. I love salt. I love Himalayan salt. And yes... you can taste a difference. I got a "raise" with my Essential Oils business last month and so to treated myself I ordered a much wanted Himalayan Salt Block from Amazon. I could not be happier.
Salt plate cooking is one of the most fun and tasty new ways to cook your food. These beautiful slabs of salt are mined from deep within the earth, cut to size, and imported all the way from Pakistan. From pink-colored plates to rosy-hued blocks with deep red streaks, salt plates come in a wide spectrum of colors.
How would you like a piece of cookware that is 300 million years old? These Himalayan Salt Plates are cut from ancient salt deposits and are considered the purest form of salt. They are becoming very popular right now to cook on and for good reason - they impart a rich flavor to anything you cook on them and not just a salty flavor.
