Took the Knorrpill years ago, a full one is a little too salty so I reserve some to add to gravy.

The next level to the Knorrpill is marmite on roast chicken. I don't usually like the stuff but on a roast chicken it's incredible.

The fuck is wrong with you? You run out of salt the same way you run out of everything else. You use it and one day you realize you've got none left. I've had the same box of salt for five years, but five years isn't forever.

>> No.14663636

>>14663603
Different anon here, but I feel like it's pretty normal to buy more of something so shelf-stable when you notice you're getting low.

Like if my salt box has 5% left, and I noticed this because I have senses, I typically buy more in the month(s) I have before I run out of salt.

I imagine this pattern is what the other bloke is referring to.

Good point. I have table salt (rarely used), kosher, and coarse sea salt.

What are your four salts? I think about buying some flaky stuff for finishing baked goods but never get around to it.

which mortons? the canning salt? I own more than one box of that. the nearly empty cylinder of salt? the nearly empty kosher salt? the morton season all is nearly empty too. it's salt. I could shove it in a box for a decade and it would work the same except maybe some of the spiced stuff, and the canning salt is just table salt with no anti-caking stuff so it might cake up but it's still just salt.

I'm looking at this guy's shill videos and I really don't get the hate. All the recipes seem practical and look great, the advice is solid. Is it really just people being mad that he's advertising bouillon cubes? When almost all of us use bouillon cubes anyway?

the 16oz jars of this from Costco are a mainstay in my kitchen. It's really versatile and way better than keeping boxes of chicken stock in the cupboard. Haven't tried the MPW method of rubbing it directly on chicken skin though

I'm still mad that the last time I bought a box of salt I settled for Morton kosher. The flakes are way too large and I have to constantly adjust the measurements in recipes. I should just buy a box of diamond crystal and use the morton only for things like making brines and salting pasta water but I'm too stubborn to buy two of the same thing

kosher salt is great for a 1-2 hour season to let it come up to temp before you put it on the grill, but if you want something really special coat it in soy sauce and let it sit in the fridge on a rack uncovered for 24 hours.

you might as well marinate at that point. I don't buy cheap meat so I don't bother with marinades

naw, soy sauce is salty but it also adds a little bit of sweetness and a nice under flavor which is why it works, throw a little worcestershire sauce on it and pepper while grilling and it comes out better than just salt, marinades are for flank steak.
