Due to its inherent qualities, the salt block transfers added flavor to anything that touches it, giving your meats and vegetables a kick. The heat transfer properties of this salt block allow it to retain both hot and cold temperatures, meaning you can keep food cool or warm, depending on your needs. Use it to grill meat and fish, bake cookies, scones, pizzas, and other baked goods. Also functions as a gorgeous charcuterie board. Care instructions: Avoid running your natural salt block under water or submerging in water, as any remaining moisture in the salt slab can cause breakage upon heating. Be sure to let your salt slab dry for at least 24 hours after exposure to any moisture. Do not use soap or detergent on your Himalayan salt slab, as it is naturally anti-fungal and anti-microbial. Salt block can be freshened with a bit of lemon juice from time to time. Dimensions: H 1.5 in, W 12 in, L 8 in
