What kind of salt should I use while cooking? 
 The type of salt used in cooking may vary by recipe as well as intended purpose.  Here are some suggestions for types of salt to use.  For daily use in a typical salt shaker, iodized table salt is the most common as it is processed to be free-flowing and fits through most salt shaker lids with ease.  For brining and during the cooking process most chefs and cooks will choose to only use kosher salt due to it’s flake size and consistency across recipes but they will typically choose one particular brand and stick with it.  For finishing a dish with salt, chefs will also choose a large crystal sea salt usually pyramid shaped as it delivers a satisfying crunch and flavor to the final dish.  Himalayan pink salt has also become popular for use as a finishing salt.
