The Best Salt for Scrubbing Pots and Pans
I use Diamond Crystal, a coarse kosher salt, because that’s what I have on hand. Coarse sea salt or other brands of coarse kosher salt, such as Morton, will work. I’ve found that coarse sea salt is rougher and stronger than coarse kosher salt, so I would reach for that if you have it.
Avoid table salt or expensive finishing salts. Table salt isn’t abrasive enough to do the job and finishing salts are too expensive and delicate—save it for these caramel brownies.
