Kosher Salt
Salt or pepper in one of its serious forms — texture and timing matter as much as amount. Coarse salts season during cooking; flaky and smoked salts finish.
Keep it fresh
Storage & shopping
Storage
Bone dry and airtight. Buy peppercorns whole and grind at the moment of use — ground pepper fades in weeks.
