Cooking on Himalayan Salt Blocks.

A Himalayan salt block is a slab of pink salt mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan. It's rich in minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium, which contribute to its distinctive flavor and color.

Benefits of Cooking on Salt Blocks

Enhances Flavor Naturally

Imparts a mild, balanced saltiness to food.

Retains Heat Well

Cooks food evenly and holds temperature for a long time.

Aesthetic Presentation

Great for serving cold or hot dishes.

Mineral-Rich

Contains trace minerals that may add depth to flavor.

How to Use a Salt Block for Cooking

01

Tempering the Block

Before first use — heat slowly to avoid cracking: 20 minutes on low heat, 20 minutes on medium heat, then 20 minutes on high heat. Let cool completely afterwards. Once tempered, the block can be used multiple times.

02

Heating the Salt Block

Use a gas stove, grill, or oven (not recommended for electric stoves unless using a diffuser). Heat gradually to prevent thermal shock.

400°F – 500°F (205°C – 260°C)
03

Cooking on the Block

Once hot, place food directly on the block. Suitable for thin cuts of meat (steak, scallops, shrimp), vegetables (zucchini, mushrooms), and even eggs or pizza with proper care.

04

Cold Use

Chill in the fridge for 2+ hours and serve sushi, cheese, fruits, or desserts like chocolate and ice cream.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Tips & Precautions

  • Never expose the block to rapid temperature changes (e.g., a cold block on a hot grill).
  • The block will slowly erode over time with use.
  • Not ideal for oily or very wet foods — they may make the surface slippery or wear the block faster.
