What is Kosher Salt?

[Kenazo]

Is it just normal salt that has been turned jewish, or what is it?

Go to the store, you will find regular table salt, kosher salt, etc.

hmm, it's coarser. I wonder if you could use road salt instead. 😉

 

[MaxDepth]

it means it has had it's foreskin removed.

 

[TwinkleToes77]

it's a coarse salt with no additives, that melts quickly into recipes.. most chefs use it over table salt.

It means there is no pork in the salt.

Lol... That made me laugh.

It has no iodine in it and the chunks are larger, but not nearly as large as rock salt.
You can substitute table salt, but use 1/2 the amount by volume, as they measure differently.
1 Tablespoon of kosher salt would be 1/2 a tablespoon of table salt.

Write to jewsweek and ask them.

Kosher salt has a higher mineral content than table salt, therefore the taste will be a bit different. It has a milder flavor and the granules are larger. Kosher salt and table salt are transferrable in recipes but you have to adjust the measurements: 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt = 1/2 teaspoon table salt. But if you have never tried Kosher salt, I recommend you do so. It is much tastier!

salt made from dead sea water

It's the salt recommended by Alton Brown. My wife uses it for every recipe. I bought one of the Alton Brown salt cellars for her to keep it in.

i'm sorry, but it sounds stupid to me.
i used to have a coworker he said he would eat meat if it's kosher so he's a vegetarian.

There's a Biblical prohibition against eating blood. Kosher meat is salted during processing to remove blood. A coarse salt is used to help draw out the blood, hence the name.

Yes

And, it's one of the crueler ways to butcher animals... pigs - hang them up by their hind legs, slit throats and let them slowly bleed to death.

How many Jews and Muslims do you suppose are eating Kosher pigs?

You sound informed. Pigs are not eaten by Jews, there is no such thing as a Kosher pig. :roll:

If I'm not mistaken, the point of Kosher preparation is that the animal endures the least amount of suffering, and is actually killed instantly, with a slit across the trachea.. (may be wrong on that, but the same point)..
