Salt : How much

I usually use garlic salt, two spices in one. I usually add about three shakes say in a large pot of spaghetti sauce. After that we can salt to our taste at the table. My boys and I don't ever add any additional salt, my hubby usually does as he prefers more salt than we do. If I do add something to my food at the table,it's usually garlic. I just love garlic on food.

I've never been one to add salt to food. I get enough of salt in other foods. The only food I put salt on is hard boiled eggs. But only a few crystals. Generally, if a recipe calls for salt, both the missus and myself would substitute other spices, peppers, ground onion or garlic, etc... I think we've had he same salt shaker for 12 years and it hasn't been refilled.

that's why it is written to taste. because some people wants more salty foods and some don't. So in my family, we want a little salty food so my mother knows how much salt or patis (fish oil) she will put on the food.

For me I cant have too much salt in my food. I just add enough to add al ittle bit of flavor. If I have to many salty foods I get bloated and my ankles become the size of my calvs so it is not fun.

i dont put it direct on my food, but like when boiling potatoes and things i put a dab on salt in the pot in the water, i have grown up seeing my parents do it so i just do it, and i find thats enough salt in the food, and no need to add it when the food is dished up

I don't use a lot of extra salt in my cooking because some foods already contain salt, and you can have too much of it. I use sea salt all the time, and I buy the coars type which I disperse through a grinder. I just add about four turns of the grinder to vegetables, and a couple of twists to my dishes once they're served on the plate. Brightest Blessings.

I do not use salt in my meals as salt is not healthy for us so I never use salt in my meals. I try to avoid it as much as possible when at home. I know it gives food a better taste but since I am trying to eat healthier I keep the salt out of my meals when eating at home. My roommate loves salt and usually floods his food with salt.

Salt intake depdends largely on the climatic condition and ofcourse on the person. Personally, I hardly take table salt in my diet. I feel, It is not desirable to completely terminate salt in our diet. Profuse sweating is a frequent feature of our warm/hot climate and this leads to substantial salt loss and this needs to be replaced. Instead of complete discontinuation, it is strongly recommended that the intake of salt should be low. thankyou.

I can't eat too much salt, so unless it is absolutely necessary, I won't add any. It is not essential except for making breads and cakes anyway. There are salt substitutes that one can use and if there is a choice between a flat taste and me gaining ten pounds in water weight, I'd take the flat taste anytime.

I add less salt to the food which i cook because my mother-in-law takes less. my father-in-law is just the opposite on eating salt. he eats more than normal and she eats less than normal. so i dont even put the normal. i put very less for the sake of saying that i have put. when i cook for people or when i have invited someone, then i cook mystlye. and by GOD'S grace i am alwayz appreciated. i love cooking and GOD has alwayz been kind to me when it comes to handling of big number or meal for more people alone. salt is a thing which if not put in a proper amount, according to the taste which requires it, the food will not taste good. you will not get the actual taste of the food. to get the actual, taste, everything including salt should be appropriate, it should be up to the mark otherwise no point in making a great dish and everyone is sprinkling salt according to them in their dishes. it looks stupid, i think so . if you are having a problem like i m having in my family, then it is something different, but there too, i make food like that for them , not for everyone. when others are coming , i make proper food. why should i serve where i have to answer a question.

I very rarely add salt when I'm cooking, and rarely put it on a meal. I add salt and vinegar to chips, and I like salt with tomatoes (lots) or eggs (very small amount) I can't actually think of many recipes where salt is an essential ingredient.

i usually don't use more than a sprinkle maximum. i don't really ever add that much,i don't think most things need it. i do know people who use a lot though.

Well i love salt, i know i shoudnt cause its bad for you but i cant help it forget measuring it i pour it in i have salt on everything i eat bad aint it?

ofcorse the cook adds his mind to our dishes..not only in case of salt but with all the spices he/she uses...thats how we categorize a good n a bad cook...if the cook's taste is near to most of his food consumers..he is a good cook n if not we wud just leave him/her with the tag of 'bad cook'...

honestly i leave out the salt most the time. that's how my mom cooked when we were growing up. there is so much sodium out there in things, she didn't like to add to that. so i tend to cook like that as well. some things yes i add it to. but not too often.
