Great Article About Brands of Salt in the NYT

Brands of Salt

For those of you who wonder why some recipes call for almost double the amount of salt, here's an article about brands of salt that provides some insight. I've dealt with this many times, and a good example is the Compost Cookie recipe from Momofuku via Regis and Kelly, which calls for 2 teaspoons of Kosher salt. They're using Diamond brand kosher which is coarser than what a lot of people use (Morton Kosher). So if you use 2 teaspoons of Morton, your cookies will be too salty. If you use 2 teaspoons of table, they'll be barely edible.

    That's a really interesting article. I almost always use Morton kosher salt; it's readily available in my area. Now I'm curious about the diamond brand and will have to look for it at the store. I made chocolate caramel mousse last night and finished it with a sprinkle of large grain sea salt (which seems, for some reason really salty tasting. Not the mousse, but the individual grains.) I think the diamond kosher salt worked have worked well in the recipe.
