Like there is so much salt in processed food I never felt the need to actually use the salt shaker (until I cut out processed food).
What does this mean for iodine intake? [FYI iodine was added to salt a long time ago because they found people were low in iodine. At the time people used salt shakers. Are we low now because, I’m figuring, people don’t use salt shakers as much? Some googling says processed food doesn’t use iodized salt.]
I use it all the time because I cook my own meals.
This. Prepared meals are seasoned meaning the salt has already been added. When you make your own meals, you need to season it yourself.
This is the answer for me too. I don’t really use the salt shaker at restaurants. But, more often than not, we cook our own food at the house and use salt as necessary.
When cooking i use a large wide mouth jar salt is dirt cheap in bulk and it makes a more consistent addion proccess as u get the feel for how much a pinch is.
Same. I use granulated salt from a jar near the stove while cooking, and there’s a grinder on the table for when I forget.
