Great video!!! I just switched from Diamond Crystal Kosher salt to Mortons and found that Mortons' crystal last longer- you can feel the "crunch" and get that Salt Hit much longer than with Diamond Crystal. Mortons is my #1 now. I use Maldon only for a finish on my steak. btw-- The production value has GONE UP!! Great work, Kai!! The sound quality, varied shots, focus, use of close ups- Excellent!! (Yes, I'm a film professor so I can't watch anything without comments.)
The onion trick is best after using a more abrasive method. Knock off the big chunks with a brush or whatever you use. Then, the water in the onion will have a better chance of steaming off whatever is left over from your brushing. Plus, abrasive methods always leave the grill dusty with the carbon bits you scraped off in the beginning. Oh, and apples work in a pinch. I read that using a potato puts a starch coating on the grill that helps things keep from sticking but I haven't tried it.
Kosher ,if I remember correctly, is produced by boiling salt water , wich removes calcium so it tastes better :) I tried to do that with sea salt and worked , but it's a mess LOL
Wouldn't the Maldon be for finishing? I bought it today and I'm not really sure if it works salting the steak with Maldon after it is done. What are your thoughts?
I enjoyed this comparason, thanks. I would like to point out that Diamond Crystal is not ordinary sea salt. It is an evaporated sea salt with a delicate crystal structure…thus the weight difference. as well. I believe most Kosher salt is like table Salt but without additives and is a course grind of rock salt.
Making steak for my anniversary today - I do so often but wanted to double check that Kosher was best to use while cooking instead of Maldons (usually finish). Thank you!
I noticed quiet a few people like to scrape the grills instead of taking them off and cleaning them. Why do you do that ? to save time ? I think it's much better to take them off
You’ll get a deeper clean taking it off, but I don’t think that’s necessary every time. If you grill steaks, the mess won’t be enough to justify the effort or removing the grated.
@@BBQandBottles I'm not OCD but I have easily removable grates on my wood BBQ , so I prefer to clean it every time :) Not messy if done in the garden sink.
Nice video. Btw the best and the easiest way to clean the grill is with a wire brush. And the best way to oil it is with a bacon skin. ;) Greetings from Europe
I’d go with the sea salt. The extra time will give it enough time to fully dissolve and internally season the steak. The Kosher would be great for it too
@@BBQandBottles stainless grill + burn off... never had any issues. maybe with ones like Walmart crap long straight bristles....im going to salt some tenderloin steaks for pepper steak, pan seared.
I 24 dry brine with either the kosher or Maldon. The 24 hours gives the Maldon more than enough time to fully absorb into the steak and internally season it.
Finally someone who eats steak like a normal person! Most other steak tasting videos cut the already sliced steak further into tiny thumbnail-size pieces before putting it in their mouths. I don't know how can they taste anything that way; so annoying to watch.
@@BBQandBottles Matter of fact we don't have table salt here in Italy, only sea salt ( we are big producers of sea salt here ). We have normal and iodine sea salt. Normal sea salt is 0.30$ 2.5 lbs

Thanks for the insight and the kind word on the production quality!!
Hands down the best channel for all your steak / grilling needs . Love the experiments this channel has BBQ&BOTTLES FTW!
Wow - thanks guys 🙏

My go-to salt is sea salt. The best part, sea salt is delicious as a finishing salt.
Another great video by y'all. I always end up learning something from you and improving my cooking skills. Thanks!
Thanks for the test. Very informative!
Salt aside , your video about smash burgers made my sunday !!! I've tried it and the sauce with the pickles was amazing
Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed them Andrea. Those smashburgers are one of my favorite cooks.
I definitely would use the kosher salt over the other two salt very nice video
I use both Maldon and Kosher salt and find the Maldon to be way more salty than the Kosher salt so you have to be careful with it.

It will work, but you can use a cheaper salt if you prefer like diamond crystal kosher salt if you prefer.
easy to watch, well done
You wear a mask like 40% of people do😂😂 Great video, I use sea salt because of the the size of the crystals.

Watched a couple of your vids! YOURE GREAT!
As far as I remember , Kosher salt is " mined " with water , not digged.
That's why It has different cristals
Nope. It's the exact same salt without additives.

Good luck with your anniversary meal!!! 🤞

How about using himalayan salt?
Are all ur knives Dalstrong?

Love your channel, Jared
Thanks sir!
U done your homework, which salt would you recommend for dry brine your steaks for 24 hours? Very informative video....and thank you!!!
I’d go with the sea salt. The extra time will give it enough time to fully dissolve and internally season the steak. The Kosher would be great for it too
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks for explaining
BETTER than a steel bristle breaking off been using something similar since he 80s .
What knife is he using?
Here’s the link to it amzn.to/3cnky1v
For stainless grill webber makes a really good twisted wire brush, i burn off after every Q.
The only problem with those wire brushes is the wires can break off and get in your food.
@@BBQandBottles stainless grill + burn off... never had any issues. maybe with ones like Walmart crap long straight bristles....im going to salt some tenderloin steaks for pepper steak, pan seared.
I love using Pink Himalayan salt on my proteins...
I bring my own salt. I don't trust people. Take care.
Lol 😂
All salt is sea salt. The only difference between them is purity and what is in them along with the sodium chloride. They all taste the same.
Salty Saint Petersburgs "HI"!)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You didn't actually decide. That was a politicized waste of time.
I dry brine 100% of my steaks for 24 hours… How do you think this applies? Would it be the same?
I 24 dry brine with either the kosher or Maldon. The 24 hours gives the Maldon more than enough time to fully absorb into the steak and internally season it.
@@BBQandBottles I've been using Maldon… I guess I'll stick with that. thx

Diamond kosher all the way
amazing video
Thanks 🙏
Dalstrong knive 👌
You get the award of best use for those masks ever.
We bought so many through the pandemic… now I need to find a use for them as we come back out of lockdown restrictions.
Salt
I can't believe not one coment on the spider. LOL
We don't have kosher salt here 💔
Also table salt is the same as sea salt here
Is your table salt iodized though?
@@BBQandBottles Matter of fact we don't have table salt here in Italy, only sea salt ( we are big producers of sea salt here ).
We have normal and iodine sea salt.
Normal sea salt is 0.30$ 2.5 lbs
You absolutely have kosher salt and table salt in Italy. I've personally purchased it at Conad.
@@otm646 Kosher ? with Kosher written on the label ? Gotta check
Is that a Rolex Submariner on your wrist?
You got it
no table salt...too salty.
Kosher guy for me
Neither one. Use MSG. You will thank me later.
Terrible way to do a blind tasting
..seen a fly land on one of the steaks & stopped watching
Yep flame grilling is better then dumb infrared grill...
Never ever clean a grill when it’s hot. Trust me, clean it when it’s cold and it’s a lot easier to clean
Great video except you burnt those steaks has to be like eating an old sneaker something back cooked
I thought the iodine was added because of nuclear threat as not enough people had it in their system.
It’s really for brain development and your thyroid
This man is a vegans nightmare lmao
And we all love him for it!!
Come on bro.. I cannot see the Medium Rare dones of your steaks.. Not a Medium Rare but you cook it all in Medium Well.
