I LOVE Salt 101. Highly educational, interactive, non-preachy and it provides credibility with Alton Brown (loving the bow tie and tweed suit too, ps). It takes some searching to realize that it’s been presented by Diamond Crystal Salt. Smart move and I’d love to know who set this up for them. This is the sort of content I love.

As a side note, I am very curious about the different types of salt and the best uses for them. I’ve heard that regular table salt isn’t the best option for salting food.

Fleur de sel – Or Malden’s or whatever your preference is. Regular table salt isn’t ideal for salting food after it’s served. Malden comes in nice flakes that melt nicely on the food. Meg prefers fleur de sel but I find it too crunchy. A 4 oz. container will cost you $11 — 3 times as much as 3 pounds of table salt — but it’ll last for months or even years.
