[Rebel SS]

OOOOOHHH!!!  num nums!!~ Looks great, Boobski! I certainly hope ya gave Remi the wonder pup at least a couple tossed bits....

Stoopid co-worker. 

[mike89]

so I'm thinking you are saying not to buy the salt???!!!!! 

I will still check the store next time I'm by there....

[Rebel SS]

Buy it, try it, just DON"T LEAVE YER MEAT on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[mike89]

so you are confused too!!!!!   

just cook on it then???????????

[Rebel SS]

NO I'M NOT!!!!! and to answer yer question,


YES!     

[mike89]

I can only say I will look into it, salt is not big in my  book, so settle down big feller!!!

[Rebel SS]

Can ya hear me now?    Don't think I'd really care to try it...the ol' grill works fine for me. I'm just not really sure how I'd use it, but I'm sure there's lots more to it than I know about.

[mike89]

I most likely would not buy it either!!!!!

[Bobberineyes]

It's like anything else, you have to get to know how to use it. I'll try heating it and cooking on it next...live and learn they say. And yes reb, remi always gets a taste

[LPS]

Curious to see how you like cooking on it.  My brother said their steak turned out great when they did it on the table.  They must really hold the heat to do that.

[LPS]

Did you tell us how much it cost?  Are there different sizes?

[mike89]

I looked into it and there was lots of sizes and prices, just got to figure which one you want is all....

[Bobberineyes]

This one is 8×8 and bout 30 bucks. Since we have it I'm just gonna hafta keep trying different things.

[mike89]

I watched one person doing shrimp on it, I think that would be good...

[Rebel SS]

I bet veggies strips, like peppers and onions, with that shrimp, would be good.....hmmmm...how about a shish kabob on it?

[Bobberineyes]

Well, thought I would try it cabin style on burglars.  Really tasty, you could taste a hint of salt,  the good thing is it didn't matter on the wind taking the heat away once the block was heated it didn't matter, but I didn't get the smoke / flame heated burger over wood. They cooked really fast probably half the time with out it over wood. So far so good cooking on it.

[mike89]

ok still not sold on it yet...

[Bobberineyes]

You don't cook Glenn so that doesn't surprise me.  I'm not exactly sold yet myself but it's a trial thing. Ya never know, I might melt this thing down and put in salt shakers..

[glenn57]

Hey boober, I didn't build this body by not cooking!

[Bobberineyes]

Heck, I'm halfway sold on it!! Of course, some of us love to cook in other ways besides a Suzy-Homemaker oven or outta a can, right boober?

I suppose you are going to cook in water next!!!!!

[Rebel SS]

Just as soon as he finds a recipe on how to boil water!

Every thing has a purpose as far as a cooking tool.  I do use the pink H salt but haven't seen this block.  Looked over the whole thread and I think it's best to cook the meat on the block over direct heat as far as steaks and shrimp.  Don't know until you try.  I think that putting meat on the block and letting it sit for hours would be the same as a dry brine.  The meat soaks in the salt just as if you used a dry brine.  good luck.

Like I mentioned earlier and I have seen it on some Food Shows at expensive steak houses, they heated it up and then cooked the meat in front of you right at the table on the salt block.  Must really retain the heat.
