Absolutely not. Sodium hydroxide is a very dangerous and caustic strong base. Contact with it can result in serious chemical burns and ingestion can result in damage to the digestive tract.
Table salt is sodium chloride. One common salt substitute is potassium chloride, but it has a bitter metallic taste to it.

What is the use of table salt in chemistry?
Sodium chloride is used for example to prepare standardized solutions of sodium and chloride, is an important additive in soaps production, is the raw material for the production of sodium hydroxide, hydrogen, chlorine and many other applications.
What is the use of sodium hydroxide?
Sodium hydroxide is use to absorb carbon dioxide.
Is salt a metal or nonmetal?
Table salt is made of a chlorine ion and a sodium ion. Sodium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal. Salt on its own is neither; it is an ionic compound. Table salt is a salt. We use the term salt to mean table salt very often, but in chemistry, we have to refine our use of the term to include some other ideas. A salt is what results from the combination of an acid and a base. (Water is also produced.) Table salt, sodium chloride (NaCl), is one of many salts. Just for starters, any Group 1 or Group 2 metal combined with any halogen (the Group 17 nonmetals) forms a salt. And there are more. Remember to consider in what application you're using the term "salt" so you can plug into the right set of ideas. If we're talking about salt in the kitchen or on a cooking show, that's sodium chloride or table salt. In the chemistry lab, we've just used a general term that we have yet to make more specific.

What would you use to make a salt molecule?
A strong base and a strong acid in a neutralization reaction would do this. NaOH + HCl --> NaCl + H2O Sodium hydroxide plus hydrochloric acid equals sodium chloride, a salt and common table salt, and water. Then dehydrate the solution and the salt will crystallize into a solid.
