Himalayan Salt Block Round Cooking Plate 20x20x5cm

• The surface seasons as it cooks, giving food a subtle salty edge rather than a heavy coating.
• Its pale pink mineral grain makes a striking serving piece, especially with simple ingredients placed directly on the stone.
• Use it hot for searing and grilling, or chill it first for cold dishes that deserve a more considered presentation.
• The weight gives it presence on the table, so it feels more like a shared ritual than a serving plate.
• Each hand-carved salt block has its own natural pattern, with soft variations in tone and crystal texture.

This round plate is hand-carved from Himalayan salt from Pakistan. The salt naturally contains minerals including potassium, magnesium and calcium.

Heat the plate gradually, starting low so the salt has time to adjust. When the surface is ready, lightly brush or oil it to reduce sticking, then place food directly on the stone.

For cold dishes, chill the plate before serving. It works beautifully as a mineral platter for simple, fresh food where the visual contrast matters as much as the flavour.

Himalayan salt acts as both cooking surface and seasoning surface. Food takes on a soft mineral salinity from contact with the stone, so it is best used with ingredients where a little salt is welcome.

Salt is a natural, soluble material. With heat, moisture and repeated use, the surface will slowly change, soften in places, and develop marks from cooking. That visible wear is part of the life of the block.

Let the plate cool fully before cleaning. Scrape away any residue, rinse briefly with water, and avoid soap.

Do not soak it. Dry it thoroughly after rinsing and store it somewhere dry between uses, away from lingering damp or steam.

The round cooking plate measures 20 x 20 x 5 cm and weighs approximately 3700 g. It is made from Himalayan salt from Pakistan.

This is a memorable gift for someone who enjoys slow meals, table theatre, and ingredients served with care. It suits cooks who like simple food presented beautifully, with the cooking surface becoming part of the occasion.
