Freshly cut from ancient mineral deposits, hand-cut blocks of translucent pink salts can be used for cooking meats, fish and more. They conduct heat beautifully, lending foods a wonderful depth of flavor.

Use them on the grill, in the oven, or chill them for a beautiful way to serve sushi, appetizers and more. Himalayan salt blocks are naturally anti-microbial and easy to clean without detergent. Just scrub the surface with a brush, pat dry, then air dry to use again and again. Product of Pakistan. 8" x 12" x 1½"; 11 lbs.

Because Himalayan salt blocks are a natural product, each individual block will reveal its own unique color and characteristic patterns with exposure to heat over time.
