Ive baked and cooked for more than four decades. Until my wife bought a three-pound box of Morton Coarse Kosher Salt at our local supermarket I thought that all salt was created equal. I quickly discovered that I had been wrong. This coarse salt can be used as a substitute for table salt. But it really shines as a rub for meats. Because its granules are flat and larger than those of regular table salt, it seems to work into the meat better than does other salt. If you use rubs on meat you'll definitely want to have a box of this on hand.
