Outset Himalayan Salt Block

The salt block imparts a subtle, mineral-rich salinity to your food as it cooks. Because the salt is naturally porous, it seasons ingredients evenly without the harshness of table salt, enhancing the natural flavors of proteins and vegetables.

While it is designed for grill use, you can use it on a gas stovetop if you heat it very slowly over low heat to prevent cracking. It is generally not recommended for electric glass or ceramic cooktops, as the intense, concentrated heat can damage the surface.

Avoid using soap or soaking the block, as it will dissolve. Simply scrape off any food residue with a stiff brush or scouring pad, wipe it down with a damp cloth, and let it air dry completely before storing it in a cool, dry place.

Himalayan salt blocks are sensitive to thermal shock. To prevent cracking, always start with low heat and gradually increase the temperature, allowing the block to heat up slowly before you begin cooking.

Yes, it is excellent for serving chilled items like sushi, sashimi, or fresh fruit. You can chill the block in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving to keep your food at a safe, cool temperature while adding a light, savory finish.
