| 3000.1 | It's just a coarse salt | CADSYS::HECTOR::RICHARDSON | | Wed Apr 17 1991 15:30 | 17 |
| It's just a coarse-ground salt, used in the process of kashering meat
(preparing kosher meat before it can be cooked). You can probably find
it in the kosher-foods section of your grocery store, hidden among the
matzohs and stuff. You could probably use regular salt or even rock
salt (like for melting ice, or making ICE CREAM, yum!) if it isn't
going to be touching the food. Kosher salt isn't as common as it used
to be since most kosher butchers prepare the meat for you so you don't
have to go through the soaking/salting process at home (which is real
messy, time consuming, etc.). I think I have a box of it around still
- probably in one solid chunk. If you don't want to roast your bird on
salt anyhow, I've had good luck (of the fire-avoidance kind) with those
disposable roasting pans with the grease trap in the bottom - they are
not particularly "green", but they do seem to work. I've never seen
one large enough to roast a very large chicken in, though - they are
about the size of two large stuffed chops.

| 3000.2 | Same stuff as used for margerita glasses (if you like margs w/ salt) | NOVA::FISHER | It's Spring | Wed Apr 17 1991 15:35 | 4 |
| I got some at Purity. I think it was Diamond Crystal in a dark blue
box, perhaps 5 lbs and I think it was near the regular salt.

| 3000.4 | Broiler pan? | RANGER::PESENTI | Only messages can be dragged | Thu Apr 18 1991 10:45 | 4 |
| A rack or broiler pan with a bit of water in the bottom would work at prventing
fires, too. And it would not add any salt to the dish. And, you wouldn't have
to worry about disposing of the greasy salt, or the greasy aluminum pan... just
the greasy water.

Yes, I find it in the baking goods aisle, inevitably on the bottom
shelf because it's a relatively big (5 lb) box. I forget the brand
that I bought, but it was red and yellow.
If you can't find it there, check with the kosher foods. If you still
can't find it, ask the grocery manager (don't trust a clerk who says
s/he doesn't think the store carries it). S/he will most likely know
exactly where it is, or if the store doesn't carry it (unlikely) in
most cases s/he can order it for you .
Good Luck,
