SALTS

Posted by annebin (781 days ago)

What is the significance in cooking when using these different types of salt--

Sea Salt
Kosher Salt
Table salt
Cooking salt (is this the same as rock salt?)
Plus I've seen Mediterranean salt

..Does it alter the texture? the flavor?

When can I substitute which for which?

salt is salt and salt changes/improves flavor.

table and cooking salt is same
mediterranean salt is most likely a seasoning salt, i.e. has herbs added or other things.
seasalt is mre grainy and better in flavor. maldon seasalt if you ask me is the very best
