OMG!!! I'm currently reading the book like a novel (had a dream about salting everything) but I could not figure out what the wrist wag looked like in real life. This video is exactly what I needed.

[@trashpandaO6]

im doing the exact same thing. the illustration is not even close to what she does in the video😅

[@Em-jt7im]

I'm reading her book right now and she is absolutely brilliant! Her book really helped me improve my cooking

[@Hannah-ne2vi]

Because of this video I use the palmful method when seasoning epsom salt to my bath water

[@food52]

Haha, that is great 😂

[@vilhelmhammershoi3871]

I am sure you come out properly seasoned out of your bath. LOL.

As a european person I finally learned what kosher salt is thanks to this video

[@ruthievee3491]

Love Samin! Why would anyone thumbs down this - jerks!

[@hexmachine6599]

I’ve been using the wrist wag method on my meat for years.

[@JDBoelter]

[@elfenvine]

Love your bold techniques!

[@bernadettebailey5370]

[@Chan777E]

I really like her presence. So easy

[@jennyjeannethalvaradocasti4998]

She is awesome!,

[@food52]

Yes, we think so too! :)

Kosher salt isn't less salty by weight, and there's a huge difference in volume per weight between the 2 main manufacturers (Diamond Crystal and Morton (which contains sodium ferrocyanide)). - Salt is sold by weight. Recommending koshering salt in a pot of water is just racist as it's no longer koshering once dissolved. I've never seen a cook spread as much salt on a board as the food. I fail to see why anyone thinks she's awesome.

[@moon-kg4wb]

Using hands to salt food gives you a tangible connection to how much you're using, too. If you grind salt or shake it you're not going to develop intuition for how much to add because you're not in physical control, the brain likes bio feedback to memorise. Plus every grinder or shaker is slightly different. Professionals have a sixth sense for how much of a pinch or grab of salt to use for every little thing, little differences like this are what sets their food apart even if it seems silly

[@ritzkola2302]

But what do we do with the salt we put in the bowl? How do we store it? It’s no longer in the original container.

[@sadiakiran1153]

Come on really Do we need to learn this too?

[@92cgray]

Yassss teach them sis 💯🤗😭😭

[@asmaaabdulhamid2292]

💜💜💜

[@dalegreer3095]

Kosher salt is >99% NaCl, just like table salt or sea salt. It may be coarser, but that doesn't mean it's 1/3 as salty.

[@mikeyscotj]

Dale Greer it’s less salty in that it isn’t as dense at table salt (my understanding at least

[@madthumbs1564]

There's a large difference between 2 of the largest manufacturers: Diamond Crystal, and Morton (which has sodium ferrocyanide) when measuring by volume, but not by weight. Also; I don't know a salt that isn't Kosher.

[@aZnchuux3]

It's about the density lmao

[@tpn1110]

Density is NOT equal to weight. Therefore, kosher salt (less dense) is less salty than table salt (very dense)

[@girliedog]

Love you Samin but I disagree with your use of salt, at least for those of us watching our blood pressure.

[@food52]

Thanks for the feedback Virginia! Glad you enjoyed the video with Samin!

[@tpn1110]

She did make a disclaimer in her book that if you are advised by your doctor to watch your salt content, you do not have to follow her techniques

[@rollercoaster24]

Then... this videos obviously not for you lol

[@franciscom431]
