Re: Himalayan salt block
Interesting.   I just looked at the specific heat.  Salt is 0.21 units per weight (calories/gram-degreeC).   Marble is the same.   Steel is much less at 0.12. 

On the other hand, steel is three times as dense so holds more heat per inch of thickness.

Re: Himalayan salt block
Spose that's why grills are made a steel. I shoulda done the chicken thighs last night on the block, they were real good but woulda been something different with salt infused..next time.

Re: Himalayan salt block
Well, experiment #3 done. So far this thing packs a lotta salt in the meat no matter which way its cooked. One more to go,  chicken thighs,  if they turn out salty then I'll be turning this block to ice melt... :angry2:

Re: Himalayan salt block
The one major mistake I've made so far is not getting the block up to temp. You know how it is , can't wait must cook now! With the thighs hopefully I can get the big charcoal to burn hot then cook fast on the block. Might hafta start the experiments over.....stay tuned!

Re: Himalayan salt block
I found the only way to cook with these without your food being too salty is it must be hot before using and to cook things that only take at most 3 minutes per side. It's best for seafood like shrimp, scallops, tuna. I know most of you except for del don't want to hear this but really the only way to use this for meat is for searing so that means the meat had probably been cooked in the sous vide.

Re: Himalayan salt block
Thighs turned out super, the old grill still didn't get real hot so I fried em on both sides for a bit then slid tgem on the grate to finish.work in progress. Sliced up sweet taters in the cast iron!
