Do you throw salt on your shoulder when you cook? They said it's for luck!

Lol maybe she is just kidding, because i see Rachel Ray in her previous episode didn't do that things. I didn't do it also, it will make my shoulder getting dirt and sticky i'm only have a coin in my wallet as my luck, but it's too far topic related about cooking may i know if you did similar things to have a luck CJay77?

I never knew that supertitious belief.I will definitely make it a habit from now on everytime I cook. I guess nothing is wrong with sprinkling a little amount of salt on my shoulder when cooking.Who knows it may really bring me luck after all. Thanks for sharing us that belief cjay.

i heard it for the first time from you,does it work??i also do not know any of my friends doing so,my mom also has never done this....

I have never thrown salt over my shoulder while cooking. It would just annoy me that there was salt on the floor and I would have to stop cooking to clean it up.

I never heard of that.. I know that I'll throw salt over the left of my shoulder if I accidently spill salt.. then yes, I would be the one would pour salt over my shoulder.. :)

Hi CJay. No, I only throw salt on my shoulder when I drop salt in the kitchen or in the table because it cut the bad luck LOL. Here we believe that drop salt is bad luck so we need to throw salt on our shoulders to cut this bad luck. Have a nice sunday.

This is a new thing for me. We do not do it here. Nope, not even my mom. I think its a customary to many places like yours. I don't remember anything like that, which we do before cooking. So, do you do it everyday?

Such habit is unknown in my land but I did it sometimes just for the fun but I don't believe in these things if they were true then i would have needed salt blocks in some cases to have luck And when i cook I don't need salt cause it always happen that i have small cuts or little scractches and the tomatoe juice on those zones are enough if you ask me. And I admit I love Rachel Ray's show she is so original and funny also learnt some tricks there hehe.

I have heard a variation of this superstition where if you were to tip over a salt shaker, to thwart bad luck, you would throw salt over your left shoulder. I have never heard of doing it while cooking.

Sometimes I do if it is a really noticable salt spill but sometimes I don't remember to do it. When my wife and I are cooking in the kitchen together we will do it out loud and kind of laugh at each other about it. But if I threw too much behind my shoulder she would probably yell at me for making a mess on the floor.

I saw it too on Rachel Ray! and ever since I always do it. I know it is ridiculous to believe but oh well I love Rachel Ray!

No, I don't. I've heard it's luck... but I don't. I don't need to add to make extra messes, I make enough. lol!

I never knew it until this moment. Hehehe I love to cook and I would like to try it. I need more luck than anybody could have right now. I'll try it once I cook today. I never knew that it's good luck. So, that's why I saw Rachel Ray do it too but it didn't caught my attention. This is fun and I would like to try it for luck! :)

I use salt for scrub my body in the bathroom.I don't know about accidental salt on the shoulder when cooking.So i scrub my shoulders, i will be lucky or not.

I have never heard of that! That is crazy. And messy. I'm not one of those people who believes in luck and religion or anything like that so I'm not going to start that. If I mess up my cooking, it is not because there wasn't salt on my shoulder.

I have always heard if you spill it then throw some over your shoulder for luck, but maybe I will try it to see if my luck gets better. God knows we can use all the luck we can get now adays. As for luck I believe we make our own luck. Will let you know how much luck I get with doing this. You said you been doing it has your luck changed?

No, I never heard of this habit. I am not going to do it because I don't want to make my kitchen dirty or mess:) I think cooking depends on your talent rather than throwing the salt. I love China

my wife is the one who cooks and i dont see her throwing salt at her shoulders. for us we believe that salts are sacred so we dont like to scatter and step on the salts so maybe thats the reason why i dont see her throwing salt at her shoulders. i respect others belief like Rachel Ray but that doesnt mean that i need to imitate it too. if my wife one day does that then i will still respect her

before we had our dogs, my mom and i usually throw a pinch of salt over our shoulders. but now that we have dogs, they kept on licking the floor. to be honest, i am afraid that the salt may cause kidney failure or renal failure for our dogs. so we stopped all together.

well it seems that there are different views on this I always thought that if you spilt salt to throw a pinch of salt over your left shoulder to either continue your good luck or keep away bad spirits
