Himalayan salt block anyone?
Discussion
Have just come across this, and it sounds kinda fun.
Basically a slab of salt that you cook on. Heat it up on the hob and cook meat on it. Because the slab is made out of salt it gives it a good flavour too.
Some interesting info:

and an amazon book on it:

Think it can be quite a laugh, similar to those restaurants that give you a raw steak with a hot stone, but in this case where your 'stone' is seasoning it for you too.
Tempted, and interested if anyone has one

This looks inteteresting.
yeah, I'm quite fascinated, I think I'm getting this onehttp://www.gourmetsalt.co.uk/products/132-himalaya...
From what I've read it should be a minimum of 1.5 inches thick to minimise the chance of cracking under heat. I'm quite curious about the "instant curing" of raw fish etc too in addition to cooking on it.
Think it would make quite a novelty gift too.
