HemingWeigh Himalayan All Natural Crystal Salt Cooking Tile Himalayan Salt Block (8" X 6" X 2")

Salt block arrived wrapped in bubble wrap and the corners were a bit chipped up. I didnt think this would matter too much when cooking and I was excited to give it a try. I followed the included instructions for heating the block and had no problems at all. Heated the block on low for 15 minutes then started raising the gas level to high. This is was my first time cooking on a salt block and I absolutely love it. I made a steak and some shrimp. Steak turned out beautiful and tasty, the shrimp was some of the best I have ever made and I did not use any seasoning on either. The salt block was surprisingly heavy, I didnt expect it when I first picked it up. It also held heat for a very long time. It was over 2 hours after cooking and turning off the gas before I could pick up the block with bare hands. If you expect to need to move the salt block I would recommend finding one of the trays. One thing I did notice after using the block is there was alot of salt residue inside the grill. I expect it was from the juices sizzling and popping but I am going to have to keep and eye on the insides of the grill for any rust. First time clean up was a challenge since I wasnt prepared with the proper cleaning tools. Since this initial use I have ordered a second salt block so I can cook more at the same time and a cleaning scrub brush designed for salt blocks. My next attempt will be cooking chicken and I am very excited to taste the results.

Just learning how to cook. Bought this because it was interesting. So far I had good success with ribeye, pork, scallops and fish. Good for small dishes if you're not in a hurry. Salt will take 30 to 40 min to heat to 500 degrees. Works best with smaller cubes or strips of meat. My wife loves the stuff I'm making on this slab of salt. There are some things to know , so buying a book for salt cooking is not a bad idea.

I have cooked fish and steak right on top of this and its great, FYI heat the block up in the oven first and then place the meat on there and what a great flavor

We love this. I got it for my husband for Christmas and he uses it all the time. Great for steaks and pretty much anything, but our favorite thing to cook on it is salmon. We don't normally eat a lot of salmon but now if we do we always cook them on this. So good.

it was a gift for my friend who loves to cook....he knew nothing about it and was very interested in cooking with it...it is a pretty substantial piece of salt.....about the size of a brick and weighs about the same.

Fast shipping cooked on them tonite but realized the direction on them are not the best found better ones. If you follow the heating directions that come with them it is going to be way to salty

Perfect size..weight...make up. First victim was 2- 8oz Alaskan Halibut Filet. Cook time was.perfect and finished flavor was beyond my expectations. Nice job folks..! Going to order a 2nd. block. Thanks

This was a father's day gift for my husband. He has used it on the stove and the grill. It has actually made him want to cook more! It doesn't make the food salty but adds a delightful flavor to anything cooked on it. It is a solid, heavy slab of salt, but worth its weight.
