Common Questions About Smoked Salt

Can I Use Different Types of Salt?

You bet! While coarse sea salt is a popular choice because of its large salt crystals that absorb smoke well, you’re not limited to that. You can also use kosher salt, Himalayan salt, or even fine salt. It’s all about your personal preference.

Where Can I Use Smoked Salt?

Think of this as a magic ingredient that can sprinkle smoky goodness on anything you cook. It’s great as a finishing salt, adding an extra oomph to grilled meats, roasted veggies, soups, salads, and even drinks!

Can Smoked Salt Replace Liquid Smoke?

Sure thing! They both add a smoky flavor to your food. However, the salt also adds a salty taste, while liquid smoke is just about the smoky flavor.

Storage

It’s really simple. Smoked salt stores well in any container that you would normally keep salt. This way you can store that wonderful smokey flavor for future use!

Refrigerator

There’s no need to refrigerate smoked salt. Just like any other salt, it stays fresh when stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture.

Freezer

Freezing isn’t necessary for smoked salt. Salt has an impressively long shelf life, so it doesn’t need freezing to keep it fresh.

How to Make Smoked Salt

This is probably the easiest thing you’ve ever smoked. You don’t have to make sure it’s cooked. All you want is that intense flavor of wood smoke infused into your salt. Want even more flavor? Let it smoke for longer!

1. Start by preheating your smoker to 180 degrees. If your smoker comes with a super-smoke setting, feel free to use it.
2. Place your salt on a rimmed baking sheet or a disposable baking pan. You want to spread it out so it forms a thin, even layer.
3. Now, put your salt in the smoker and close the lid.
4. Your salt needs to smoke for about 3-4 hours. During this time, remember to stir it every 30 minutes.
5. After the smoking is done, remove your salt from the smoker. Let it cool down to room temperature before moving it to jars for storage.
