What is the difference between pickling salt and regular salt?

hi-- regular salt has an additive for better flow. also,usually has iodine, both of which will cloud the liquid. iodine is also not good for fermenting pickles, as it is an anti-microbal (you want the good probiotics to thrive). you don't have to use "pickling salt" per se: kosher, pure salt and sea salt with no additives are fine. an excellent book is "the joy of pickling" by linda ziedrich.

Pickle Crisp does not have sodium (it's calcium chloride) so you can also use it with sweet foods like apples and peaches without making them taste salty. It makes them stay crispy.

Pickling Salt is a finer grind. Use this one because it desolves fast and compleletly. The regular salt is a course grind and sometimes does not desolve well in your brine. You end up with salt granuals in your brine and it is not as salty as it should be.

Hi Kathryn - Great question. This is what I found on the Morton website: Morton Canning and Pickling Salt is a pure granulated salt which does not contain potassium iodide, dextrose or an anti-caking agent. In other words, it does not contain any additives. This salt product can be used in cooking, baking, canning, pickling and for the table. Please note that since there is no anti-caking agent added to Morton Canning and Pickling Salt, it may form lumps in humid weather or if exposed to moisture. This product is available in four-pound boxes and can be found in your local grocery store. Morton Iodized Salt contains potassium iodide, dextrose to stabilize the iodide and calcium silicate which is an anti-caking agent. This product is fine for baking, cooking and normal table use. However, since the anti-caking agent in this product is not water-soluble, we do not recommend this salt for some canning recipes as the calcium silicate may settle at the bottom of the jar and the water may cloud. This is really not a problem but it could be an aesthetic issue for some users.

Both the salt and pepper are adjustable from a coarse grind to very fine. I use Himilayan salt and regular peppercorns. I have both sides adjusted to a somewhat coarse grind because I like to taste the seasonings and not have them just disappear on the food. Hope this helps.

They are two separate compartments. Salt has its own grinder/lid and pepper has its own grinder/lid. You can empty, fill, or clean them individually.They are open and I've noticed that they tend to leave salt/pepper in my kitchen cabinet when I place them in there.

I have both the pepper and salt grinders. The internal workings of the two are the same - they both have ceramic grinders. The only difference, other than the salt coming pre-filled with salt and the pepper with pepper, is the ring around the OXO badge on the top of the grinder. The salt is white and the pepper is black.

They are both sea salts, I use the flakes. I use the little bamboo salt box and just get a pinch out as needed.

Is is a fine salt. My husband and I have high BP and it has less sodium. Sprinkles nicely from a table shaker. No grinder needed.

They are different. Pepper Mill has steel blades, Salt mill has ceramic blades. You can't use salt in the pepper mill because of corrosion, using the salt mill to grind pepper may be hazardous in time.

The difference is basically your volume of water use. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this product. I live in Oxford, Pa. where this water conditioner is distributed in USA. I have well water that is very hard and I use a traditional salt water softener. I have used this for over 6 months and while this cannot soften water, it is supposed to stop scale buildup. Well, there is no change in scale buildup and I can't see any positive results. I had to re-connect my salt based conditioner. I really wanted this product to work, considering it affects my local economy, but sadly it is useless. I should have listened to local plumbers who told me it is a waste of money.

the idea is to use a coarse salt (kosher, sea, himalayan, etc.) and grind it to the desired size/texture. the grinder allows you to choose a fine, medium or coarse setting.

way different. CAL is slaked lime, strongly alkaline and caustic, has to be handled carefully. Calcium chloride is much safer and easier to work with,(my pickles now come out nicely crisp). check a site called The Garden Web: pickling lime questions.

Several website will answer your question: http://www.pureformulas.com/customers-testimonials.html#sthash.YAkAB1N4.dpbs http://www.sinussupport.com/education/sea-salt/ Hope this will help,as I understand regular table salt has ingredients that will stinging and has no more important minerals.

plain old table salt works fine. 1-2 teaspoons is sufficient in a small footbath. More makes the machine beep a warning that the AMPs are too high. Salt mixes nicely with warm water.

I think they're the same, only the wood used seems to be different. Both have the hard ceramic grinding mechanism which is corrosion resistant. The grind isn't perfectly even, but can be roughly adjusted from finer to larger by turning the dial on the bottom. We like the two colors because the kids like to handle them and it is easy to keep the salt and pepper apart. Very traditional mills otherwise.

I have never noticed this. I use it for vegan soups and stews and add little or no salt.

Yes, a regular lid must be put on after pickling so you can use your pickler for other projects. The recipe product MUST be kept in the refrigerator. It will keep for quite a while under refrigeration, perhaps indefinitely and does not have to be eaten immediately.

Yes it does, it works well with all recipes and variations. I use this to make crisp refirgerator pickles as well as hot packed canner style. Salt is not necessary for product to work.

I looked at the bottle to see what it said and they don't list it at all and I also looked at the regular salt container and seen it listed. I know that they say regular salt is processed and that I read that because they process it that regular salt is not what it used to be any more. The reason why I brought this salt it is suppose to be processed in a different way but better where it is all natural and that it is suppose to balance out your body. All I know is that a very small sprinkle will go along way for favor as you can't use it like regular salt so you have to be careful on how much you put on as the favor is nice and it is strong but in a good way. The rest is for knowing about iodine you will have to do more research into that as it is not listed on the bottle itself.
