Cooking on a rock - salt. It works great on the stove, the oven and the grill. You need to get it hot. I like small / thin slices of beef, chicken, or pork - or shrimp. Know that you will have salt from the rock. A little oil and herbs on the meat and then toss on the hot (preheated) salt block. Cook quick. It is not fancy, but gives a new "salt" flavor. Shrimp, thin sliced beef, chicken, or veg work very well. Use some oil as it make sense to you. Have some fun. It is a very hot rock - think of it that way and cook thin.
