Putting the salt with the spoon or Putting the salt with your hand

For most things I will just pour the salt out of the container into my hand and then pour it in the pot or pan. The only time I really don't do it that way is when I am baking something and the amount of salt needs to be more accurate.

Hi Sharay, I prefer using the spoon; at least I would know how much to use each time. If I use my hand or fingers, it's guessing like a pinch or 2 pinches - and I would most probably end up too much or too little salt.

I usually get salts through my hands, though I cannot really measure, I just put salt then if it is not sufficient I put some more.

i use table salt for cooking and also feel comfortable pinching the salt with my fingers. like you, it seems i could measure it well if i use my hand instead of the spoon. but for iodized salt, i use a spoon because they granulated.

when it comes to seasoning food i use my hands but if it's for a recipe that calls for a certain amount i use a spoon or measuring cup

It depends on what I am cooking. For dinner preparation, I measure with my hand and have been doing it for so long that I feel comfortable with it. Many baking recipes are more exacting. If I'm baking a cake, I usually grab the spoon for measuring.

I use my hand. I don't tend to add a lot of salt to a recipe when I am cooking. For that reason, I simply pour a little bit out into my hand and take a pinch or two from that to add to the recipe.

Definitely with hand. Becouse it is the precise way to do it.

I am always putting salt in my hand when I cook. The only time I really measure the salt is when I am baking and really don't have much choice.

I pour in the salt in with a spoon, as I know I won't get my hands cacked with salt if they are wet with not a towel in sight, and I can always shake some off, making it fall back into the container if I have miscalculated the amount
Well, Happy-Mylotting..
