SALT COOKWARE AND CROCKERY

Salt cookware and crockery—such as salt blocks, plates, slabs, trays, bowls, and glasses—have become increasingly popular in modern kitchens. These culinary tools are not only visually stunning but also functional, offering a unique way to cook, chill, and serve food and drinks.

Salt blocks are made from pure, natural rock salt, and their crystal lattice structure allows them to retain temperature—hot or cold—for extended periods. With minimal porosity and moisture (approximately 0.026%), they can safely be exposed to a wide range of temperatures, from freezing cold (0°F) to extremely hot (up to 900°F), making them ideal for various cooking techniques.

Cooking with Salt Blocks, Plates, and Bowls

Salt cookware is available in a variety of shapes and sizes, including square blocks, round plates, rectangular slabs, and carved bowls. These pieces can be used for grilling, broiling, stovetop cooking, oven baking, or even serving chilled foods like fruits, cheeses, and sushi.

Since these items are made from 100% natural salt, they often contain a variety of trace minerals. When foods are cooked or served on them, they absorb a subtle saltiness along with these minerals, enhancing flavor without needing additional seasoning. From vegetables and meats to fish and even pizza, salt blocks make cooking a creative experience.

Popular Uses:

Chilled Foods:
Salt plates and bowls can be chilled in the fridge or freezer overnight. They stay cold for hours, making them ideal serving trays for parties. Great for presenting cheeses, Caprese salad, fresh fruits, dips, and even ice cream—where the subtle salt enhances sweet flavors.

Seared and Grilled Foods:
Salt blocks can be preheated on a grill or stovetop to cook meats, seafood, and vegetables. They infuse a mild salt flavor while searing the surface of the food for enhanced taste and texture. It’s best to avoid cooking overly fatty items like bacon, as they can degrade the block more quickly.

Stovetop Cooking:
When using an electric stove, a metal spacer is recommended between the burner and the salt block. Heat slowly over low to medium settings for about 15 minutes. Once heated, the block retains heat for a long time—perfect for extended cooking.

Oven Cooking:
Always check the manufacturer’s instructions before placing salt cookware in the oven, as not all are oven-safe. If safe, begin by placing the block in a cold oven and heating it gradually to 250°F. Then allow it to cool slightly, increase the temperature to 400–450°F, and continue cooking once the desired temperature is reached.

SALT DRINKING GLASSES

Salt drinking glasses are a unique addition to any dining experience. Made from carved salt crystals, they add a natural hint of salt to any beverage and are ideal for specialty cocktails or chilled drinks. These glasses are naturally antibacterial and require only minimal cleaning—simply rinse and dry.

To enhance their function, freeze the glasses before use. They can stay cool for up to four hours, making them ideal for parties and special occasions. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, with natural patterns and textures.

Additional Benefits:

  • Adds a natural salty note to drinks
  • No artificial additives—pure and organic
  • Durable and reusable when properly cared for
  • Aesthetic and functional, suitable for decor and use

Simple Cleaning:
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry with a paper towel. Do not soak or place in a dishwasher.

CARE & STORAGE

Since salt cookware is a natural material, it’s important to care for it properly:

  • Cleaning: Never immerse in water. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. In humid climates, wrap in paper towels and seal in a plastic bag.
  • Recycling: When pieces break or wear down, grind the salt and use it for cooking or bathing. Chunks can also be used as natural pumice stones.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Sizes: Available in small, medium, large, and custom sizes
  • Shapes: Customizable—variety of block, plate, glass, and bowl designs
  • Colors: Natural shades including red, reddish-orange, light orange, and white
  • Packaging: Shrink wrap, bubble wrap, inner and master cartons. Also available in custom, plain, or fancy packaging

Each item is handcrafted and naturally unique. Colors, shapes, sizes, and patterns may vary slightly due to the natural origin of the salt and the handmade process.
