HemingWeigh Himalayan All Natural Crystal Salt Cooking Tile Himalayan Salt Block (10" X 6" X 2")

Looove it! Seasons food while cooking. It takes a long time to heat up properly but if you have the time it's worth the great flavor it imparts on the food. Heat it slowly so it doesn't crack, over time it will turn white as the minerals in it change. The hotter it is the better, you want it to sear the meat and give it a nice brown crust. You don't need to wash it after each use, but if it has lots of drippings and filth wait for it to cool completely back to room temperature before rinsing with water and dry immediately. Rub the stone with cloves of garlic just before cooking meat on it and it will add great flavor to your food. You can also heat it up in an outdoor grill then put it on a wooden platter and bring inside to cook food at the table - it stays hot for a very long time. I'll buy this again when mine dissolves beyond use

I like to try things and see if the hype is just hype. We have cooked steak and seafood on this bad boy and it really does give it a good flavor. Scallops are the best I have ever had them when cooked like this. This sears great and the stone is a great size for beginners. You can fit two decent sized steaks on this block at one time. I recommend seafood over steak though, the steak has less of an added flavor than the seafood. However it does a great job at searing, alike a cast iron pan.The only draw back is that it takes 30-45 minutes to heat up properly if you want to avoid cracking. This is not a defect, it is the nature of the salt. I have used it at least six times and it is not showing any indication that fissures or cracks are forming from within.

Love it, but it's very hard to clean. Remember to read directions on how to clean them, as you don't want running water to wash away all the salt. Also no soap!!Also, you really need to gradually heat it slowly. I did exactly that but it wasn't enough because it cracked. No problem cracking because you can still cook in it, but would love for my salt block to still be pretty.

Complaints: The product came broken. The block itself is wrapped in a layer of traditional (small bubble) bubble wrap. Beyond that they threw in about three of those new soda can sized bubbles which were all burst by the weight of the block (it is really heavy). It came with a corner chunk broken. I have followed the rules for heating and cooling but there are some additional very large cracks forming, will update with number of uses I got out of it once those cracks break through.Praises: I did cook on it and was very pleased with the result. I made some tasty flat iron steaks!

Great product but showed up with broken corners

This item is a potential disaster for everyone who buys it. It does not merit even 1 star. We followed directions specifically this evening, and warmed it to 200, then went to medium, and under high heat, it exploded. The interior of our oven is a disaster. I want a professional cleaning, and a full refund. This product is awfu;. DO NOT BUY.. I am actually surprised to find such a faulty product even offered on Amazon, shame on you!!!

I HIGHLY recommend getting one of these! We use ours on the grill regularly, and it brings SO much flavor to anything we cook. We are normally people who love to season our chicken/meats. I feel like with this salt cooking tile, we really only need to put some black pepper and a little salt on our chicken. It doesn't make the food salty at all, but instead lets the food marinate in its own juices while cooking. Such a great product. We will be purchasing one for each of our friends.

These salt slabs are a great price compared to others I have seen. This is my third time ordering from this company. Two of the orders I had shipped to my place, and they were nicely packaged. The salt slabs makes wonderful unique gifts to give to folks. I have used my salt slabs a couple of times and it does season the foods nicely. I was very lucky that my has not cracked yet, but it definitely does look used! My only complaint is that the price fluctuates dramatically for no apparent reason. This is an item that I will keep an eye out for a good price and stock up on. They have a long self-life, and as I mentioned already, they come in handy for gift giving.
