About
Himalayan salt blocks have been used for cooking, serving and warming food for centuries, their dense rose-pink surface drawing heat slowly and evenly to infuse ingredients with a gentle, mineral warmth. In this collection you'll find a curated range of Himalayan salt blocks alongside Himalayan pink salt chunks and the salt block cleaning brush — everything you need to bring this beautiful, natural approach into your kitchen. What's in the collection The range spans square and round Himalayan salt cooking plates in two popular sizes — a handy 20 × 20 cm option for quick searing and individual portions, and a larger 30 × 20 cm plate that works well for entertaining or cooking for the family. Both are approximately 5 cm thick, which gives the stone the thermal mass it needs to hold and radiate heat consistently. Alongside the solid blocks, the collection includes Himalayan pink salt chunks — rough-cut crystals ideal for seasoning cast-iron pans, finishing dishes, or gifting in their raw form. A single-colour cleaning brush is also available, designed specifically for maintaining the block's surface after use. Choosing the right salt block for cooking When selecting a salt block for cooking , consider the heat source and the volume of food you typically prepare. A round block suits single-serving dishes and works beautifully on a gas hob or induction plate, while a square block offers a broader flat surface — useful for searing several pieces of fish or meat at once. All the blocks in this collection are suitable for use directly on the hob, under the grill or on a barbecue, as well as for serving cold foods at the table. The blocks vary slightly in tone — some lean more rose, others more blush — which is entirely natural and has no bearing on performance. Each block is a unique piece of mineral salt, so dimensions are approximate.
