Hickory Salt
Smoked cooking salt for bold, barbecue-style flavor
Hickory salt is a sea (cooking) salt flavored with smoke aromatics. A small pinch delivers a clean, campfire-style smokiness that lifts grilled meats, vegetables, eggs, dressings and BBQ rubs.
- Type: smoked flavored salt (finishing & cooking)
- Aroma & taste: hickory smoke, toasted, gently sweet-savory; crisp salt bite
- Best for: steaks, burgers, roast veg, corn, beans, eggs, popcorn, dressings, marinades
Culinary uses
- Finishing: sprinkle at the table over grilled meats, veg or eggs for maximum aroma.
- Dry rubs: blend with pepper, paprika and garlic for quick BBQ rubs.
- Marinades & dressings: whisk into oil–acid bases; taste and adjust—smoke is potent.
- Veg & snacks: a light dusting on roasted potatoes, corn on the cob or popcorn.
How to use
- Use lightly: smoke flavor concentrates quickly—build up in pinches.
- Finish vs. cook: add near the end to preserve aroma; long cooking softens smokiness.
- Moisture caution: keep away from steam; charcoal-colored salts can tint liquids.
Dosage & kitchen ratios
- Finishing per portion: ~1–2 pinches (≈ 0.3–0.6 g).
- Dry rubs: 1 tsp hickory salt per 500 g meat + 1–2 tsp spices.
- Dressings/marinades: 1/4–1/2 tsp per 250 ml base, to taste.
