I happen to love salt. I have 3 kinds. Might make it 4. I feel bad for those whose bp doesnāt allow them to enjoy this indulgence.

Iāve never been a fan. I almost never add salt to my meal. However I am a fan of soy sauce in cooking. I need to try the sodium reduced one. Iām a pepper freak though but thankfully I can have as much of that as I want.

To be clear, I think salt is needed for food to taste good. If itās seasoned properly, thereās no need to add salt at the table. If Iām adding extra, itās like for a little more crunchy stuff on the surface. Ofc thereās an optimal amount that varies by food and personal preference.
Iām reading Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and The Food Lab so Iām an expert now.

Oh yeah you definitely need to use some when cooking certain things. I used to have 3 types of salt but am down to 2 now. My bf loves salt and insults me at every meal by adding salt before tasting the food!

Yes I am sure her head was turned by all that free salt. How could she resist?

Itās amazing how much is added to a lot of processed foods. I never really noticed until I started looking due to my bp.
True. Very tough to stay under the recommended amount unless youāre very careful. Pizza? Forget about it. :(

I make my own so itās not laden with salt and sugar that commercial ones often have. Plus my bf and I prefer it so itās a win win, well except for my waist lol. I only generally do it about once a month though.
Sounds awesome. I havenāt got to the pizza chapters of my books yet. Maybe some day.
Iāll post a pic next time I make it.

Speculation: Less salt will be used for the same saltiness of taste if thereās less salt mixed into the food and more of it is added after cooking and sitting on the surface.
I think I use a teaspoon for 2 pizza bases.
Thatās what I thought but the experts say different. Hereās an experiment you can try (I think this is from SFAH): take two slices of tomato, salt them both with the same amount of salt. Eat one immediately and the second one a few minutes later. Whatās the difference? Is one better? Why?
