Add Salt (Just A Pinch)

A pinch? A dash? A hint? Smidgen, perhaps? Look—salt makes things taste better, we don't make the rules.

If you're cooking your own food, it's nearly impossible to over salt your food without making it taste bad

I’m glad the editors are finally calling them out 😂

"Oh heavens, I forget to salt the water"
Yeah Brad?, salt it not oceanify it😂

[Hanniballectershiss]

They’re using kosher most likely and depending on if it’s Morton’s or diamond it’s less “salty”

[bernardohchongching]

Wow, powder salt and table salt are different

Who could have guessed

[redeye]

They use big flaky kosher salt which you need to add more of vs fine salt. Still - it’s a lot 😂

[Kiki-]

They always use kosher salt which is less "salty"

[kevinfart]

Is your pinch a teaspoon or a tablespoon 😂

[crystallao]

That’s how I would go crazy with salt!

[krischeney]

Honestly the confusion is probably less “they’re using so much salt!” And more that the phrase “a pinch” seems like it should be a tiny amount

[Cydreeze]

How bland is y'alls food? if you think a pinch of salt is a lot

[mpking]

A pinch is what you can hold between three fingers

[flavrt]

Celebrate the tactility as an essential culinary element.

Americans: Would you like food with your salt?

[Luckmann]

Oh, sure, but when *I* do it, my family and/or girlfriend loses their collective minds.

[MayTheOddsBeInYourFavor]

He said forget a pinch! We’re gonna make it

[bodyofhope]

Lol well if you're adding salt to boiling water, you can add a lot like they did.

[marleytfm]

The pinch it measured by our ancestors

I don't add salt to my food - doctors orders - though my blood pressure is generally fine.
