I like my steaks grilled with coarse salt, I have had it this way in a
steak house.

I have an extra peper mill, can I just by salt and grind with this?

Is there a certain type of salt?

I looked in the store and this is what I saw.

Deiodized table salt (fine)
non-iodized table salt (fine)

kosher salt (??) (fine)

Pickiling salt (coarse)

Rock salt (coarse)


I thought the rock salt would be the best, but I read the label on the
back.
Used for icecream and on your sidewalk.

Is this the correct stuff?

Don't put salt on while grilling, it will draw the moisture out of the meat
and make it tough.

I second what Steve W. said. A salt mill should not have metal parts
inside. The salt will eventually corrode them.

As for the salt, around here they sell sea salt that I use in my
grinder. The "granules" are large enough to allow a nice grind. If you
can't find it in your area you may want to try Penzeys

Note, I have placed your idiotic response in the proper chronological order
relative to my inane chatter. When you attempt to slam me in your reply,
please move your cursor to the end of this text before you begin typing.
Doing so will make you appear more intelligent and women will want you!

Buy a salt mill. Use sea salt. Solar salt is OK but too big for the mill.
DoNOT use rock salt as it will have contaminants. It is not made for food
contact and does not contact the ice cream, only the water (brine) in the
freezer.

Don't buy overpriced sea salt at some fancy gooormet shoppe. Look in the
supermarket or some ethnic markets for it.

Or just use kosher salt.

From your mentioning of salt grinders, you seem to be under the
impression that some salts are fresher than others. Since salt is a
preservative, it wouldn't be considered fresh in any sense. But if you
really want coarse, you can always boil down some urine.

I just buy the non flavored margarita salt from the booze isle...then just a
pinch and a toss..

Quite correct!!! One of the Oriental markets near our place barters
groceries for live chickens. I raise roosters up to about nine to ten
months old and then trade them to the little Chinese ladies who work their
magic on them. They complain that modern chicken from the stores has no
taste.

The cheapest costing sea salt in Calgary comes out of a 'health food'
store.

Kosher salt is exactly what you need. No need to grind it.

The poster who said not to salt your steak is wrong. Steak isn't on
the grill long enough (even well done) for the salt to affect the
juiciness.

Long time lurker, first time poster, line time griller, the real BBQ
smoker-grill is gonna be in the backyard about two days after the snow
melts sometime in late April.
