Uses of Himalayan Saltware

Himalayan saltware has many uses. The salt's crystal lattice has a fairly high specific energy, so it tends to hold desired tempuratures for a long time. Also, due to its lack of porosity or moisture, the salt plates can be safely heated (cooking stones only) or chilled (for serving platters). They can be used as plates, platters, freezing slabs, curing bricks, and skillets.

Saltware for Serving

Satware platters can be chilled in the refrigerator to be used as a serving plate. Serving containers should not be heated. Heating these slabs can be a cause for breakage. Use these slabs for serving cold items or for curing / marinating.

Saltware for Cooking

Saltware cooking slabs can be heated in the oven to 400° for cooking; when heated, the slabs will not be damaged. These slabs are perfect for serving hot dishes.

Caring and Cleaning

Please do not put your Himalayan saltware under running water or soak in water, as it will dissolve over time.  Also, ensure that the plate or slab is completely cooled to room temperature before cleaning. Saltware is naturally antimicrobial; that means that no harmful bacteria or fungi can grow on your saltware slab, plate or brick.

To clean:

• using a squeezed lemon, give the saltware a quick rinse
• scrub with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any food debris
• dry the surface thoroughly after cleaning

Salt picks up colours from food quite easily, so the more care you take with your cooking, the better your saltware will look. Food colours may penetrate the salt crystals, but it will still perform equally well. Also, your saltware may develop small cracks or fissures over time. This is quite normal: your plate or slab will remain stable and sturdy. If treated with care, Himalayan saltware will provide years of pleasure!
