Chef Rohit Lobo sears salmon and vegetables on the Himalayan pink salt block

While most of us look to champion nutritive elements in our food, here is a procedure that's packed with health-benefits, says chef Rohit Lobo about cooking on the Himalayan salt brick. Made of sunset-hued crystal, this brick comprises prehistoric crystals and is packed with healthy minerals. It's 8x8 in dimension, weighs 4.5 kg and is heated on a slow flame for 15 minutes to bring it to the right temperature. "It can trap the heat for a longer period, facilitating high-heat cooking. This method can be used for both meat and vegetables. And, it helps save both fuel and gas," points out the executive chef of Kaama.
