I ordered a mystery box to share with my partner on our recent kinda vacation... I love how it was wrapped simply with brown paper and tied with twine...
This brick shaped Himalayan Salt Block is perhaps our most versatile shape.
It is inexpensive, making it a great starter block for those who want to try a hand preparing food on blocks of 600 million year old chucks of pink salt from Pakistan, or for professionals looking for an economical size.
The rectangular size means you can play around with how food is arranged on the salt brick, for a more dramatic visual presentation.
Likewise, weighing less means they are less massive and quicker to heat up, making them great for more spontaneous use or rapid service in restaurants.
Professionals take note: When you are heating them up to cook on them, you can actually fit two on a single burner! This is great for professionals who want to prepare multiple orders with limited burner space in the kitchen.
In these days of socially distancing cocktails, nice to bring an affordable host gift that is more interesting than the ubiquitous bottle of wine. Your hosts have to use it later because you can't really share the treat, but salt block works beautifully as a platter for with sliced radishes, zucchini, cherry tomatoes or lightly salted cheese.

Salt blocks for grilling
I purchased two 4x8x2 salt blocks to try this new (to me) method of grilling. The blocks and shipping from The Meadows was absolutely top quality! I would highly recommend using The Meadows as your source for salt block products. As an avid, if not fanatic, back yard griller, I am telling you you have to try this method. Don't cut corners, get the best.

Great product, not so great packaging
The salt blocks were a hit for dinner. The packaging that they came in wasn't so much. It appeared they put the blocks in a box full off shipping peanuts and mailed it out. When I received it, some of the peanuts we're fused to the blocks and I had to wash the blocks before use to ensure that everything was cleaned off. I would have liked to see the blocks wrapped in plastic or something that I could remove so that I would only have to rinse the blocks rather than scrub them.
