Salt

Hi all,

Wondering if someone could tell me what salt Chefsteps uses whenever they are finishing a dish. I suspect it is the large flaked sea salt? But I want to be sure, thanks!

Hi Paul! We love Maldon Sea Salt!

When choosing a finishing salt think about this......You season as you go with a dish, so it's not for seasoning....a finishing salt is usually chosen because it provides.....texture (like a larger grained salt) that will not be dissolved and still have some crunch to it's structure/texture when the diner bites into it, and also the color or appearance to it. So it will look nice plated. You are correct in your assumption that it is a large flaked salt. It will provide that tiny little extra experience for the dinner. It wont make or break a dish (unless you over-salt) but is there to add a layer of experience and complexity to the diner. As Ellen said, you can't go wrong with Maldon sea salt, just be sure to add it just before it goes out. This is what we try to do with all ingredients. During the dining experience we try to introduce flavors that present themselves over time. The best way to learn this is over time, when making dinner, try a finishing salt and see what it adds. When you recognize it's role in the over-all experience you will be liberated from questioning when to use it and when not to.
