Foods may absorb a subtle amount of salt when cooked or served directly on the surface. The amount will vary depending on moisture levels and contact time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I use it for both hot and cold foods?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The block can be gradually heated for cooking or chilled for serving, making it a versatile addition to your kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I wash it with soap and water?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Salt dissolves in water, so the block should never be soaked or washed in a dishwasher. Use minimal moisture when cleaning and dry it thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill my salt block crack?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural salt blocks can develop small cracks or changes with repeated heating and cooling. Gradual temperature changes and proper care help reduce thermal stress and extend the block's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs every block the same color?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Genuine Himalayan salt naturally varies in color, veining, and crystal pattern, making each cooking block unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Grill to the Table\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Black Tai Salt Co.
