The great thing about those lamps is that if you're eating a sandwich that lacks salt because you suck at making sandwiches you can just rub it on the lamp. Life hacked!

Hang on so if I make a lamp out of seaweed from Tampa bay, then that will ____________ the entire room because Tampa bay.

???

Am I doing this right? Is this how this works? Doesn't seem that crazy to me to be honest?

Yo, I'm not saying Himalayan salt bricks purify anything, I'm just saying that with enough wattage in your lamp you can make the most delicious Kale chips you've ever chomped on.

But only if you coat everything in coconut oil first.
And I don't mean the kale or the lamp. Everything. Coat the world in coconut oil.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I will say though, coconut oil as a substitute for vegetable oil works great in this breadmaker white bread recipe that I found.

lifehack: don't lick those salt lamps to see if they are salty. They are coated in a resin in order to make them stand up for any time period at all. remove the resin and watch as your lamp will slowly dissolve and turn white as the moisture evaporates.

Lifehack: coat your salt lamp in a layer of table salt so when your idiot friends lick your lamp you can laugh at them.

Awesome. The entire premise of those lamps is that salt is hygroscopic and that's how it absorbs the evil out of the air.

Several years ago I went to cover a home products show for the newspaper, and they had bricks of pink salt meant for cooking on -- put it on the stove, heat it up, and throw a steak on it. I don't recall any mystical properties being ascribed to it, just that it was easy to clean, and supposedly naturally adds the exact right amount of salt to the food.

Salt can get hot as gently caress too, it has a ridiculously high melting point. No idea how practical it is to cook on though.

Probably has similar thermal qualities as stone plus adding salty​ flavour.
On the other hand: stone is cheap/free and doesn't melt away gradually.

Nah you clean a stone by rubbing off whatever sticks, but nothing sticks to salt because the surface just dissolves off. I guess? ...why doesn't the whole fucker just behave like a starship with xenomorph goop on it once you slap that steak on?

I have a Himalayan salt brick, and I don't think it dies anything special but I like to serve ceviche in a Himalayan salt bowl which is just a bowl carved out of the brick. It's good fot cooking.

Surface area. It is one solid piece, so the moisture only reacts with the outer layer of molecules. And if you heat up the salt to sizzling temp before adding the meat, the meat itself should seal pretty quickly.

A hair dryer, two hot dog buns, and half a tennis ball. You do have to constantly replace the hot dog buns, though.

Butcher an old microwave and re-coil the transformer to have just one loop on the secondary. Depending on what transformer your microwave has you may have to get a new cable. You'll​ want a cable that fits nice and snug, partly because it looks better, and partly because your purifier will create a lot of overtones when you turn it on. You don't want things shaking loose, or it won't work! Then connect the loose ends of your secondary to the edges of your Himalayan salt crystal (use coarse salt if you can't get hold of a pure one!! Be sure to hook it up one grain at a time though...). Submerge in something flammable (like essential oil of lavender; available by the jug at wal-mart :wonk:) and flip the switch! Room purified in a flash!

This but un-sarcastically.

Coconut oil and kale suck rear end, and I've eaten kale since I was a child. It was for broke people to get greens back then, but just like quinoa it's been hyped up as some kind of wonder superfood.
