Concentrated liberal tears.

>>10439663
Salt block.

>>10439680
Works good when you want to sear some veal.

well this is surely the most retarded thing i've ever heard of in cooking.

Aren't those from Pakistani sewage mines?

>hey you know how we have these things called pans which heat up evenly and have sides to prevent stuff from dripping all over the place?
>well fuck all that!

apparently this girl i know used to carry around a salt block and lick it like a guinea pig

>>10439637
I was curious how to cook with this, seems interesting. I wouldn't buy one, but I wonder if it does change the flavors.

No. Like this guy >>10439642 I also don’t have a gas range. I’m just man enough to admit the real reason why I don’t have one. It’s probablt dumb, but I would try it if I could.

>islam is good
>trump is a retard for not wanting muslims
As a Canadian, I can honestly say Trump being elected is the second thing that ever happened that made me wish I was American. The first was Trudeau getting elected.

Hide it in a valley in the roof of your neighbors house. Watch his roof rust every time it rains

>>10441257

>>10439637
use it as a decorative for your kitchen.
You now have salt from the Himalaya

They make a good presentation for ice cream. Throw the whole block in the freezer for a few hours or whatever and itll stay cold for a while. Throw a bunch of vanilla ice cream on it in a little pile and let people serve themselves from it.

Kind of a niche use case but it does work

>>10439637
Pink salt lifestyle bro crush it up and snort it b urself

>>10441257

Pointless waste of energy.
It's a gimmick for yuppie restaurants.

>>10439829
I can heat, cook a steak and clean a cast iron pan in the time it took me to watch that.

>>10439829

Which button do I press to delete a youtube account?

>>10439637
Put it in your yard, then kill the deer that come to lick it, then turn the deer into food.

>>10441554
Venison is trash. Deer are basically large rats.

>>10441538
go back to imgur/facebook you unoriginal comment stealing fuck

I once ate a meal on a restaurant where they gave you one of those all prepped up and you would cook your own beef and vegetables at your pace. It was interesting but didn't really taste any different from regular stuff and doing it at home looks like too much of a hassle.

>>10441594
its not the best if you are going to hunt, but i wouldnt say trash. i always liked hunting duck. pheasant is more convenient, but lets be honest. the fucking stamps to hunt for them arent cheap like duck, and it basically just tastes like chicken. you might as well raise chicken.

>>10439825
Big if true

>>10439637
I use mine soley for pork chops.
My third eye opened that day

>>10440410
You don't? Europeans are weird.

>>10441257
TO BE FAIR, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VERY HIGH IQ TO VOTE NDP,

>>10439637
How do you clean it. Wouldn't the fats/juice of meat just sink into the salt block

>>10439637
All the time. It prevents cancer especially when cooking meat.

>>10439642
You sound autistic no offense

>>10441616
>imgur/facebook
Jokes on you I picked it up from tumblr

>>10441725
You do.

and how do you call someone retarded without offense? do the world a favor and cut your head off.

>>10441782
>retardation= autism
Whoa there, mate.

>>10441714
i'd be more worried about water washing away the block over time and probably fucking up my pipes while it's at it

>>10439829
>video producer cant count
>whole unpeeled onion on there
wtf

>>10439637
>at costco
you're not meant to cook with it, it's just bulk pink salt. you chisel off a chunk and then grind it to dust for use in a shaker

do you also think the giant 3 packs of toasters are for use all at once?

>>10439637

You gotta get a hammer and smash that into tiny pieces. After that, you can just stuff it in one of those salt grinder mills.

>>10441725
how many salt blocks do you own?

>>10440395
>everyone in that photo is 56%

>>10439637

Is that seriously a block of salt for you to cook on?

>>10441809

Best response here

There'a video explaining it in the thread
>>10441790
You're supposed to keep it in a cool dry place, yeah if you keep it somewhere wet it'll get fucked up.
>>10441714
It does seep into the salt block, yeah. My girlfriend owns one that she's used for a couple of years, she mostly uses it for steaks and stuff. Juices do drip down in there but it's not really a problem. Just clean it like the instructions say.

Oh and just so we're clear I think it's kinda silly but the steaks do come out nicely.
