Kosher Salt

Koshering salt, or kosher salt, is flakier and coarser-grained than regular table salt. Its large grain size makes it perfect for sprinkling on top of meat, where it releases a surprising blast of flavor. Kosher salt also dissolves quickly, making it a perfect all-purpose cooking salt. For cooking purposes, there is no difference between kosher salt and flaky sea salt, but it is recommended to cook with kosher salt because it is more consistent. The main difference between regular salt and kosher salt is the structure of the flakes. Chefs find that kosher salt, due to its large flake size, is easier to pick up with your fingers and spread over food. However, kosher salt is less likely to contain additives like anti-caking agents and iodine.
