Go Kosher

Making the switch from table (iodized) salt to kosher salt will enhance your cooking tremendously. It is one of the key differences people taste in my food. Kosher salt is less dense than table salt, yielding less sodium per teaspoon than iodized salt. Meaning, you'll be able to season your dishes throughout the cooking process more without leaving a permanently salty flavor profile that iodized salt is notorious for.

Being flatter and flakier, kosher salt sticks to surfaces more effectively, including your own "seasoning hand." You will achieve an improved level of flavor using less salt when seasoning your meat, or finishing a batch of freshly roasted or steamed vegetables with a sprinkle of kosher salt that won't bounce off the surface of meat and produce like rubber. 

Kosher salt is also right on par with table salt as far as cost. You can grab a canister for roughly $1.50 in most grocery stores or a 3lb box for about $5. A canister will last the average at-home cook for a whole month or more. Make the switch and let me know how it goes for you!
