POHS Himalayan Salt Block Cooking Plate 12x8x1.5 in - Grill, Chill & Serve with Stainless Tray

A 12 x 8 x 1.5-inch authentic Himalayan salt cooking plate from POHS that functions as a hot grill stone, chilled serving platter, cutting board, and elegant table centerpiece.

This hand-cut Himalayan salt block is quarried from ancient Warcha deposits and finished to a usable, food-safe slab size of 12 x 8 x 1.5 inches. Arriving with a stainless steel holder and a recipe booklet, the slab is primed for grilling steaks, searing seafood, chilling sushi, or presenting cheeses. The natural pink salt surface imparts gentle seasoning as it heats or chills, while the included metal tray makes handling and serving safer and more refined.

How will this salt block change my everyday cooking?

Using this salt slab replaces loose seasoning and creates a direct flavor transfer from the stone to food. Heated, it crisps proteins and caramelizes vegetables; chilled, it keeps sushi and desserts cool without watering them down. The mineral-rich surface also subtly enhances natural flavors without overpowering them.

• Use on grill, stovetop, oven, or under a broiler after proper temperature conditioning.
• Seared steaks and fish gain a delicate, even salinity directly from the slab.
• Chilled for seafood, fruit, or desserts to keep items cool and visually striking.
• Ideal for finishing cheeses and charcuterie with a decorative, flavored serving surface.

What safety and handling steps are essential for this salt block?

This salt slab must be heated and cooled gradually to avoid cracking; sudden temperature changes can fracture natural rock salt. Always use the supplied stainless steel holder when moving the slab from heat to table, and allow the block to reach a safe serving temperature before contact with hands.

• Warm up on low heat, increasing slowly; follow included recipe booklet guidelines.
• Use the stainless tray to lift and carry the block securely to the table.
• Do not submerge hot block in cold water—let it cool to room temperature first.
• Clean with a dry brush or damp cloth; avoid soap and prolonged water exposure.

How do I use the POHS salt block for different dishes?

The slab's versatility covers high-heat searing and low-temperature serving. For quick sears, preheat slowly then place thin cuts directly on the hot surface; for chilled platters, refrigerate the slab and present sushi, oysters, or cold desserts on top to keep them pristine and flavorful.

• Sear thin steaks, scallops, shrimp, and vegetables for immediate plating.
• Chill for sashimi, oysters, chilled salads, or cold cheeses to maintain texture.
• Use as an elegant cutting surface for finishing salts and garnishes.
• Combine with the stainless tray for safe table presentation and transport.
