OMG!!! I'm currently reading the book like a novel (had a dream about salting everything) but I could not figure out what the wrist wag looked like in real life. This video is exactly what I needed.

I'm reading her book right now and she is absolutely brilliant! Her book really helped me improve my cooking

Because of this video I use the palmful method when seasoning epsom salt to my bath water

As a european person I finally learned what kosher salt is thanks to this video

Using hands to salt food gives you a tangible connection to how much you're using, too. If you grind salt or shake it you're not going to develop intuition for how much to add because you're not in physical control, the brain likes bio feedback to memorise. Plus every grinder or shaker is slightly different. Professionals have a sixth sense for how much of a pinch or grab of salt to use for every little thing, little differences like this are what sets their food apart even if it seems silly

But what do we do with the salt we put in the bowl? How do we store it? It’s no longer in the original container.

Come on really
Do we need to learn this too?

Kosher salt is >99% NaCl, just like table salt or sea salt. It may be coarser, but that doesn't mean it's 1/3 as salty.

Love you Samin but I disagree with your use of salt, at least for those of us watching our blood pressure.

This woman is telling you about salt. Ridiculous.
