What to do when the stock market is unsure? Cook some amazing comfort food on a pink himalayan salt block!

Take a really hot pink Himalayan Salt Block and prep your dinner for the evening. Get creative or get back to basics. For fast and simple try chicken with asparagus or mushrooms. Chicken breasts are fabulous when cooked on a blazing hot Salt Block. I learned something really amazing from my Julia cookbooks. All seafood and meats should be rinsed and dried prior to cooking. Sooooo, rinse your chicken breasts in cool water, place on paper towels to pat dry, being careful to clean any surfaces that are exposed to the raw meat. Wash hands thoroughly. I think I sound like my mother in moments like this. Season the chicken with freshly cracked black pepper and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Once the Pink Himalayan Salt Block is preheated you are ready to cook. A fantastic addition to the chicken is asparagus grilled on the salt stone and nice baby bella mushrooms. Start the chicken first because the veggies will cook quickly. Before putting the chicken on the hot salt stone drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil. Very quickly you will have prepared a perfectly seasoned meal with chicken and asparagus on pink himalayan salt!! Enjoy the flavor of the 500 million year old salt block.

How to play with your tequila…

Take a summer evening with a very warm breeze. Down right hot and steamy after 3 minutes actually. Need something cool with some kick? Take 3 ounces of very fine tequila, Casa Noble or Don Modesto or your favorite. Pour over ice and swirl with a wedge of orange. Pour small amounts of the chilled fuerte liquid into your Salt Shotz and sip. Don’t forget to lick your lips. Use the cold condensation that has now formed on the outside of your glass and rub the inside of your elbows, wrists and the back of your neck. The liquid on the outside of the glass will help cool you down and the liquid on the inside will lessen the swelter factor. What a great way to replace the natural salt balance in your body!

Summer Sizzling on a Stick

What can heat in the house mean to a grilling and sizzling moment? It means that I can’t face the oven in this heat so I have a cure! Take wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for 15 -20 minutes. Run outside and crank that grill up on the patio with your Pink Himalayan Salt Block right on it! While the grill preheats outside, add to those wooden skewers deveined shrimp staggered with grape tomatoes, green pepper slices (or pablano peppers if you are feeling spicy), big fat mushrooms and some sweet onion chunks. I am talking about those Vidalia beauties from down South that my grandmother coveted all spring until summer heat truly bloomed! No seasoning necessary because we are ready to Rox! Salt Rox! Ready for the grill, take the olive oil and brush it on the salt block. Put those skewers on the salt block and close the grill to let the magic happen. After 3-4 minutes flip the skewers over once. When the shrimp are pink and the tomatoes are a little shriveled by the heat, remove the skewers to a serving plate and enjoy! You won’t believe the flavor!

In the heat of the moment, chill out with your pink himalayan salt block!

While pink himalayan salt holds heat extremely well, it will also hold a chill. Chilling your salt slab in the refrigerator and using it to serve cold fruit or a lovely antipasta works well to cool down the end of the day heat. How does this work? Here’s the scoop. Before I leave in the morning I simply put my 8×8 salt block into the refrigerator for an 8 hour cool down. When I get home it is time to pull out the fresh cantaloupe, kalamata olives, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and some nice cucumber slices. We like to have a bowl of each item with our toothpicks at the ready. Stab the choice morsel and drag it across the chilled salt slab for flavor. If you have a more formal setting, place your basil leaves on the slab, add a slice of fresh mozzarella on top with a cherry tomato or roma tomato sliced on top. Your guests will be enthralled! Try your hand at using any melon or cheese on the salt. Watermelon is delicious with fresh mint leaves for a flavorful pop. If you are in the mood for a little more sinful approach try scooping ice cream or sorbet onto the slab and then serve for a salty sweet combination! You are only limited by your imagination! Have fun beating the heat!!

Dreams of sole

When we discovered seafood grilled atop the pink himalayan salt slab, we turned into obsessed lovers of oceanic beauties. Entire evenings were devoted to the rinsing, caressing, patting dry preparation of seafood centered entrees. Our afternoon lovers’ chats spoke of rosemary or lemon thyme seasoned butter or infused olive oil. I dreamt of sauces, fresh herbs with mountains of irish butter cut with white wine and lemon juice, artfully drizzled over a grilled fillet of salmon, a steak of tuna or 6 ounces of baramundi. Ah, but sole is a beautiful piece of flesh to marry with the flavor of pink himalayan salt. The hot salt sings and sizzles with the sole. Sprinkled with capers and dotted with sauce we cannot make it to the table. No garnish just luscious goodness.

What Is Salt Shotz?

When it hit my taste buds, I couldn’t believe it

I didn’t really know what was happening. I had this great tasting beverage going down smooth and it had a great salty finish to it. The only trick was – I didn’t use any salt with it. How was this possible? How could I have such a great tequila shot experience without using salt? It was only later when I was talking with a group that I discovered that the saltiness came from the glass I was drinking from.

What was the magic of this glass?

They explained to me that the glass was made of 100% pure Pink Himalayan Salt. This salt is 300 million years old. You can cook on it, eat on it and of course drink from it.The best part about the Salt Shotz glass is that it adds saltiness to any beverage you put in it. With the sodium content of himalayan salt, the glass attempts to equalize the amount of sodium between the glass and the beverage giving you a burst of salty goodness without unhealthy iodized salt or even sea salt.

Think of some of the best shooters you know. Now think about adding a wonderful salty finish to those beverages.

And with tequila and a lime, it is perfect! Leave us your first name and your email at the right or check out at Facebook.

Join us in the quest for the ultimate shot and live every day like it’s your last. Have fun!

The History of “Lick It, Love It, Live It”

Our company began its young life at happy hour in Lexington, Kentucky.  We were adults searching for a source of passion and play.  Our love for food and beverages lead us to our “aha” moment and Salt Shotz!

What inspired us you ask?  Sips of vodka martinis with tequila shots for good measure!  With much tortuous trial and error with friends and family, we developed Salt Shotz and Salt Rox.  Many tequila bottles have given their lives for the cause.

We must provide warning however!!  Our product is not for everyone!  Do not purchase Salt Shotz or Salt Blox with the expectation of living a “normal” life.  You will quickly be the focus of curiosity and disbelief.  The first time you tell someone to “Lick It!” you are one of us.

The 500 million year old Salt Shotz glass and Salt Blox are one of a kind creations carved especially for you!  They will energize and enhance your celebration of both food and drink. Please enjoy responsibly!

Now imagine experiencing your favorite meats with a natural hint of saltiness without actually preparing your food with any iodized salt or sea salt.

For sushi lovers, enjoy a natural hint of saltiness with your sashimi or smoked salmon roll without table salt or soy. What if you could infuse the great taste of salt into your food automatically without using sea salt or iodized table salt? The secret to this natural, healthy and flavorful food experience is Pink Himalayan Salt.

Discovered long ago and formed over 600 million years ago at the base of the Himalayan Mountains, massive blocks of salt are harvested from the mountains and hand carved for the purpose of cooking and serving food. The rugged nature of pink himalayan salt allow the blocks to be heated to as high as 700 degrees fahrenheit and cooled to as low as 0 degrees fahrenheit. This allows the user to use their salt block for cold desserts, room temperature food and high heat cooking for meat and vegetables.

The distinctive flavor in food prepared on a himalayan salt block comes from the 100% natural salt from the block itself as well as calcium, potassium, magnesium and 81 other trace minerals.

Thank you for visiting Saltrox.com. We invite you to experience the explosion of flavor with a himalayan salt block or to enjoy your favorite spirits in our original Salt Shotz glass. One shot from this pure himalayan salt glass and you will never want to go back. All of our products are available for purchase in the shop.
