What Salt to Use on a Steak? Sea Salt vs Kosher Salt vs Table Salt

Рет қаралды 42,162

We're testing three different salts in a blind taste test to see which one we prefer on steaks. We're salting the steaks with kosher salt, table salt and flaky sea salt and then grilling them up on the gas grill. The gas grill is coming out in this video so we can objectively judge purely on the basis of the different salts as opposed to any charcoal or smoky flavor. This is the next video as we continue our steak experiment series. If you want to check out more steak experiments, here's the playlist:

Great video!!! I just switched from Diamond Crystal Kosher salt to Mortons and found that Mortons' crystal last longer- you can feel the "crunch" and get that Salt Hit much longer than with Diamond Crystal. Mortons is my #1 now. I use Maldon only for a finish on my steak. btw-- The production value has GONE UP!! Great work, Kai!! The sound quality, varied shots, focus, use of close ups- Excellent!! (Yes, I'm a film professor so I can't watch anything without comments.)

The onion trick is best after using a more abrasive method. Knock off the big chunks with a brush or whatever you use. Then, the water in the onion will have a better chance of steaming off whatever is left over from your brushing. Plus, abrasive methods always leave the grill dusty with the carbon bits you scraped off in the beginning. Oh, and apples work in a pinch. I read that using a potato puts a starch coating on the grill that helps things keep from sticking but I haven't tried it.

Wouldn't the Maldon be for finishing? I bought it today and I'm not really sure if it works salting the steak with Maldon after it is done. What are your thoughts?

It will work, but you can use a cheaper salt if you prefer like diamond crystal kosher salt if you prefer.

I use both Maldon and Kosher salt and find the Maldon to be way more salty than the Kosher salt so you have to be careful with it.

Kosher ,if I remember correctly, is produced by boiling salt water , wich removes calcium so it tastes better :) I tried to do that with sea salt and worked , but it's a mess LOL

@peterplantec7911 Ай бұрын

I enjoyed this comparason, thanks. I would like to point out that Diamond Crystal is not ordinary sea salt. It is an evaporated sea salt with a delicate crystal structure…thus the weight difference. as well. I believe most Kosher salt is like table Salt but without additives and is a course grind of rock salt.

I’d go with the sea salt. The extra time will give it enough time to fully dissolve and internally season the steak. The Kosher would be great for it too

I noticed quiet a few people like to scrape the grills instead of taking them off and cleaning them. Why do you do that ? to save time ? I think it's much better to take them off

@BBQandBottles 2 жыл бұрын

You’ll get a deeper clean taking it off, but I don’t think that’s necessary every time. If you grill steaks, the mess won’t be enough to justify the effort or removing the grated.
