Works great! Follow the instructions for heating it up. Made steak and shrimp and both were amazing – perfectly seasons the food.

I've seen these for sale years ago and wanted some ever since but always got sidetracked and distracted away from buying them up. For some reason after not thinking about a salt tray for a very long time the idea just popped in to my head and then I came on here and saw this block being offered to me on Amazon and I snatched it right up. I have no idea why these synchronicities keep happening but this salt tray is awesome. It's solid, one piece not broken or split at all. Salt is actually a metal so it's really perfect for using as a griddle. This salt block can cook food and then act as a serving tray that you can bring right to the table. If it's still hot than you just place it in its holding tray with the two handles and carry it that way.
These salt blocks were being priced really high at one time and now they seem to have levelled out again and I feel that this is a very reasonable price for one of these blocks. Currently it's 31.99 without any coupon or sale and I still think that's a good price. They will last forever if you take care of them and with it's little metal tray it stays a little more secure. It's thick and awesome and is really strong by itself and of course microbes are going to have a very hard time living on a salt block so it stays sanitary and clean by default.
The little book that comes with it is really good and detailed also. It gives a lot of tips and tricks and recipes. Particularly interesting is using it as a pizza stone. I haven't tried that yet but I bet it works for a homemade pizza dough even better than an actual pizza stone. You might need to get two slabs and put them together for that.

I recently tried out this salt cooking plate and was pleasantly surprised by how versatile and fun it is to use. It adds a subtle, natural salt flavor to food without overpowering it. I used it to sear steak and vegetables, and everything came out with a delicious, lightly seasoned finish. It retains heat well and makes for a nice presentation when serving food directly from the plate. Cleanup was fairly easy after it cooled down. Definitely a unique addition to the kitchen that’s great for both cooking and entertaining.

It took me a while to use this enough to feel good giving an actual review. I'll work my way through everything I've learned in the process.

First of all, this is a substantial, serious piece of cooking gear. It's a bit heavy but it's exactly what you want to keep heat and give you what you need for a good cook. The size appears to be a bit larger than some of the other salt blocks I've seen on the market. It came well wrapped and protected. Ok…those were my initial thoughts.

Now to the important stuff, because no matter what it looks like, what does it do for you when it's time to put fire to food. I spent a good bit of time learning the ins and outs of using a salt block, preserving it, etc. I finally decided the time had come for a cook and chose some nice salmon filets as my first experiment, cooked in my smoker. I placed the salt block into the cold smoker and allowed the temp to come up to 230 degrees. This was to avoid "shocking" the salt block. I then put the salmon onto the block and used a remote thermometer to track the temperature. The block protected the fish from the direct heat and allowed me to not have to use a mat or anything. Bottom line is that the fish came up to temp much quicker than expected. Then came the taste test. Very good. I, of course, added some dry rub seasoning as well.

So, TLDR, this works exceptionally well. I like it a lot. It's very large and I think it will last for a while.

5 stars from me.

Product arrived late and damaged. Plate has very poor quality

Cooking on salt block is a great way to add flavor. This is a nice thick heavy duty block in a steel holder. I'm concerned that it will crack as I use it more because there are pretty obvious flaws throughout… But so far it's good

I’ve been wanting to try a salt block for ages, now I understand what all the hype is about. This is gourmet showpiece esthetically AND in flavor. This salt block is just the right size, any bigger it would weigh a TON. It's heavy, thick, substantial, durable, and comes with a sturdy frame and handles, perfect for moving from grill to table easily. When it comes to heating, read the instructions as other have mentioned, gradual temps are key! Once it’s hot and ready, this is when magic happens. We've used it with our grass-fed steaks and fresh salmon from our local butcher. Don't worry about it being to salty, this salt block makes seasoning fool proof by adding a subtle & natural salt flavor. Cleaning is a breeze, just use a brush (no soap!!!) to get any debris off, rinse, and wipe off. Five stars for flavor, function, presentation, and you can't beat the price point.

This is a nice salt block with a good metal holder, which makes it easy to carry the hot block to the table. I like to heat the block in the oven (or on the grill), but grill my meats and vegetables on the grill and then transfer onto the salt block. The block stays warm for quite a while, keeping the food warm. You need to use less salt/seasoning on the foods you grill, but you do still need to season them, as I find the salt transfer is small. It makes such a great presentation when entertaining.

It's easy to clean – just use a brush to wipe off any food particles and do a quick rinse. I pat it dry with paper towel. Salt has natural antibiotic properties.
