Salt Plates are unique because they use high-quality Salt Rocks which is a key source for producing blocks that are consistent in color and fewer cracks are visible. They cut their Salt Blocks no less than 2" thick, this dramatically increases the lifespan of the block because it can absorb more heat over long periods of time. Thinner salt plates are more likely to break, crack or even explode over extense heat. Salt blocks can be used in many different ways. They could be used as a serving tray for sushi, cheese, butter, chocolates or even ice cream. They can be heated up and used as a cooking plate on the grill or stove and literally cook anything on it. The salt adds a savory tinge to meats, fish or fresh veggies. Salt Blocks can also be used as building material for salt walls, or salt room spas. Himalayan Secrets
