How to Salt Food
Proper salting results in being able to taste the ingredients better, not the salt. The trick: Season along all stages of the cooking process (not just the end) and continue to taste, taste, taste as you go.Photo of the Day: Steak Dust
[Photograph: Andrew Christopherson] Note to spice and seasoning blend executives: "dust" is not the most appetizing word. Pretty sure it shouldn't be used to describe any foodstuff, unless it comes after "fairy" (although I don't really know how edible that'd be).
