Himalayan salt plates – also
known as Himalayan salt blocks– are an exciting way of seasoning and serving
food. The dusky pink Himalayan rock can be slowly heated or chilled to extreme
temperatures. The tight crystals lattice in the Himalayan salt block means that
it holds its temperature for long periods of time – to the extent that the salt
block can be used to fry fish, or keep ice cream chilled.
Save massively when you buy the pack of 10, 15 or
28!
Most
excitingly, the Himalayan salt block is rich in mineral salt, which flavours –
or even cures – the food served on the salt plate. Try presenting slivers of
sashimi on the salt plate; watch it start to cure at the table. Another option
is to slowly heat the salt block in the oven, and use it to fry scallops – or
even an egg. The salt block is also great when chilled in the freezer, and used
to present ice cream – toffee, chocolate and caramel flavours work particularly
well with the block’s saltiness.
Note: Although
the Himalayan salt block can be heated to over 200C, it should be heated slowly
to avoid cracking. After use, let the salt plate cool completely to room
temperature. Rinse quickly, scrub with a brush, and dab dry – do not submerge
in water, use soap or dishwashers.

larger pack size is perfect for catering or for use in restaurants.
