What does salt do in a brownie recipe? I saw some lady making brownies on Youtube that looked really good but a lot of the people in the comments are saying they have way too much salt. If I make them but cut the amount of salt in half would it just make it taste less salty or would it affect how they actually turn out, like the texture?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 17:47:41 2020 No.14349501 >>14349490 Salt contrasts the taste of chocolate. It's an enhancer that you see sprinkled on brownies or chocolate cookies.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 18:05:05 2020 No.14349577 >>14349569 Salt makes food in general taste good and is generally used to contrast chocolate. Put less salt in the recipe one day, put the suggest amount next. Decide which you like better.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 18:09:38 2020 No.14349607 Would less salt or even none at all make them come out like bricks or chocolate flavored wonder bread or would they be exactly the same just less salty?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 18:11:12 2020 No.14349620 >>14349569 Nah he's right. The best part of me dear old mum's chocolate chip cookies is how she mixed it with a fork instead of a proper whisk, so they were salted unevenly.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 18:24:15 2020 No.14349696 >>14349607 they would have the same consistency or texture it's just the flavor that would be weirdly off salt enhances sweet flavors and covers/nullifies bitters

I know you're memeing but this is one of my biggest pet peeves. When someone asks me a question, i respond with the correct answer, and they just say "no" or "that doesn't sound right" i feel like bashing their heads into the cement until their own teeth penetrate their skull and lobotomize them.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 19:58:23 2020 No.14350139 >>14350060 The consistency is different, brownies are thicker, chewier and form a crust around the edges.

Paste the recipe so we can analyze it. For people to comment on it? It might be too salty. Who comments? Ya know?

1) maybe someone is confusing kosher salt for table salt
2) maybe it has "salted caramel" added to it, and it's a new flavor for someone
3) it's a shitty recipe out of balance

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 21:40:00 2020 No.14350758 >>14350676 So as much salt as sugar?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 22:45:35 2020 No.14350995 OP here. I made the brownies with 1/2 the amount of salt that the recipe called for. They aren't very good tasting. Everyone in the comments in that youtube video who said they tasted like pure salt should die with festering boils.
