Salt Block Burgers

keener75 · June 2017

Mom gave me a Himalayan Salt Block for my birthday a few weeks ago. Decided to give it a test drive tonight with some burgers and a cheap cut of steak.
i was pretty impressed with the crust on the burgers and the flavour was incredible!
i thinly sliced the steak and kept it for another day (fajitas or philly cheese steak).
I will do this again.

Interesting. How do you clean it for the next cook? Like if you want to do a piece of fish. My girls gave me one years ago. Still in the package.

I don't know. my plan is turn it upside down next time and keep alternating sides for every cook. Maybe give it a scrape every once in a while.

LOL. That was my first thought.

Go upside down next and clean by scraping. Avoid water when you can. Cooks look good. Always stick with bigger proteins. Very nice cook.

Thanks. I need to give this a roll.

Looks delicious!
How long did you preheat the block, to get that char?

I heated the block in the oven @200 for about 45mins. I put it on the egg when the paper towel soaked in oil went out. When the dome temp said 500 is when I put the burgers on.

looks delicious, nice work.

i'm not as delicate with the block as @bgebrent - when it gets really scuzzy, i find it cleans off really well under warm water. you lose a bit of salt but all the gunk rinses right off and the block is like new again:

I also use warm water and a plastic scraper.
