For example, when grilling steaks, I'll use a little Worcestershire sauce and some low-sodium soy sauce, garlic and pepper, but never any directly-added salt.

For whatever reason, airline meals usually require very little if any.
Unfortunately I can't find the link/citation/article where I read this, but I did read somewhere years ago that the high altitude deadens your taste buds, and to compensate, airplane food is more heavily seasoned than regular food. Not completely sure how true this is across the board though! |

Ugh. I love grilled steaks and other meats, and eat them often year round, but I can't even fathom eating a grilled piece of any meat without plenty of salt. Brazil has it down perfectly.

I salt while cooking. I don't add much salt at the table, but I do go a little crazy with the pepper sometimes. |

I usually pour on the pepper, especially when I am having a steak. I find it interesting to see the expression from the waiter when they have been putting pepper on my food for more than 10-12 seconds! |
I use a very little bit of salt when cooking. At the table I only add salt to eggs or to watermelon.

Off the top of my head, my biggest uses of salt during cooking are: Steak - dry rub (though, I've been using a worcestershire/soy sauce mix of late). Scrambled eggs. Lawry's seasoning salt. Mashed potatoes. I salt the heck out of the water I boil the potatoes in. At the table Usually just corn on the cob. I've tried it on watermelon but it's a no go for me. |

Will try it some time to verify. :) Maybe it's not as nasty as it sounds... Best regards, William R. Sanders Online Guest Feedback Coordinator Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide [email protected] |

I use salt only for cooking certain foods. I don't even own a saltshaker.
I generally just dive into the Kosher salt box for what I need. Foods which I make with salt include: pasta boiling water, mashed potatoes, roast vegetables (roll them around in a little salt and olive oil), marinara sauce. I tend to use a lot of black pepper and fresh herbs as seasonings. |

Seeing as I do all the cooking in our house, I do not add salt to anything, except when having a pork or lamb roast. The predominant reason I use salt is either to assist boiling or to make a brine.

After discovering that when corn is in season & sweet, IMO it doesn't need any salt or butter, I've dispensed with both. I now & then rub a slice of lime on my corn on the cob, DELICIOUS.^
