Why? Do you not also put pepper?

You shouldve used himalayan pink salt instead

This is not me being a smartass, but is finishing salt meant to be used as a final touch after plating/cooking, or can you cook with it? I’m just ignorant
Edit to add these replies to me were actually so informative. Thanks y’all!

Eat it in the dark.

Or anything else, unless you like gray food. I bought some black, charcoal, carbon whatever salt. It turns everything gray, eggs, potatoes, butter, just gross.

Finishing salt is for garnish, not cooking… it’s called finishing salt for a reason

Not only is it visually unappealing to cook with black Icelandic finishing salt, it is also criminally decadent

I don’t see a problem here, did it throw off the taste or something?

Looks like fajita veggies to me without the peppers

Kinda looks like when one sautes aspen sabre stalks; their colour and texture is bad, but they’re delicious

I mean it looks fine with onions

It looks fine. Dash in some balsamic and the color will equalize.

Looks to me like the issue here isn’t the salt, but rather the heat of your pan. It’s too high and smaller pieces and thin edges are burning before the rest is even browning.

Center looks raw, edges look burned, how did the salts do this?

Looks like sardines

Bros using finishing salt without understanding the meaning of “finishing”

Thought a little sugar was good for caramelizing onions it helps it along a but faster
BigGayGinger4
okay I won’t
I also won’t call them caramelized when they’re still mostly bright white lol
aggelikiwi
why don#t you just use salt and pepper?

Respectfully, those onions are a bit short of caramelized.

These are not nearly caramalized. Reduce heat and give them much more time.
