Yes, you can. However, kosher salt is the same as table salt which is normally less 'salty' than sea salt while containing higher levels of sodium. You would have to adjust the amount of salt used as it will most likely take more than a recipe using sea salt would call for.

∙ 15y agoYes, but you would use less than the recipe says. Kosher salt has much larger grains than sea salt and it takes more Kosher salt to get the same results as other salts.

So it depends why you want the salt. It may not disolve as readilly for instance.

Can you use regular salt rather than Kosher sale in a recipe?
Yes. "Kosher" salt is really a misnomer. Coarse salt was used to cure and preserve certain meats, by drawing out residual blood, part of the process of "koshering" meat. So it came to be known as "kosher" salt, when if anything it should be called "koshering" salt. But because kosher salt is like lots of regular salt crystals stuck together, if the recipe calls for regular salt you need to use less kosher salt, but if the recipe calls for kosher salt you will most likely wind up needing more regular salt if you don't have kosher salt handy.
Does kosher salt seasoned the food well?
Kosher salt is used in cooking mostly because it's easier to handle than table salt. The large, coarse grains are easily pinched with the fingers, and sprinkled around the food. Also, because the grains are bigger they occupy more volume, so if a recipe calls for a tablespoon of kosher salt and you substitute a tablespoon of table salt you'll get too much. And because the grains don't dissolve immediately, it can be used for garnishing. Another reason cooks like to use kosher salt is that its flavour isn't mixed with a hint of iodine.
What makes a salt kosher?
All salt is kosher. "Kosher salt" is a particular grade of salt, with coarse crystals, that is used for making meat kosher, and is also useful in cooking. It's no more kosher than any other kind of salt.
Kosher salt conversion?
Kosher salt by definition is no different from ordinary table salt from a kosher standpoint. The difference lies in the fact that kosher salt, unlike regular table salt, does not have any additives except for a free-flowing agent such as sodium ferrocyanide.Kosher salt has larger grains than ordinary table salt and as such must be measured differently. Because the grains in Kosher salt are larger than that of table salt, it occupies more space but is equal in weight. For this reason, it requires twice the kosher salt to equal the same weight of table salt. To make it real simple.. use the following conversions: 1 TBS of Table Salt = 2 TBS of Kosher Salt If a recipe calls for 2 TBS of Kosher salt and all you have is regular table salt, you would use 1 TBS of regular table salt. There are some issues with the kosher salt that you need to know.. It is not used in baking normally due to the fact that it does not dissolve as well unless there is ample liquid to facilitate it. It works extremely well in brines for brining meats and in rubs due to its courser texture.
Can Kosher salt be used to make any type of drug?
Kosher salt is sodium chloride.
Is there less sodium in sea salt or kosher salt?
Almost all salt is kosher by default. The only issue would be if non-kosher additives such as flavourings were added to the salt. Sea salt is healthier than traditional table salt as the sodium level in sea salt is far lower.
When should you cook with kosher salt and when should you use iodized salt?
Most salt is kosher by default unless additives such as flavourings are added, at that point the salt would have to be certified kosher. 'Kosher salt' refers to a large grain salt that is used during the process of kashering meat. Iodized salt is kosher.
Which salt can be used to substitute kosher salt?
Regular table salt.
Is kosher food exclusively seasoned with kosher salt?
No, it is not. Almost all mass produced salts are considered kosher and have been certified kosher by a rabbi or authorized organization. Kosher salt gets its name from from what it was originally used for. Kosher salt is much larger grains and was used to pull the blood out of meats so that it meets the Jewish guidelines. That process is often referred to as "koshering" and that's where kosher salt got its name from. But any salt that is certified free of additives can be certified kosher and used.
Do you use kosher salt in your kosher dill pickles?
All salt is kosher unless something is added to it to render it not kosher. If the question is in regard to kashering salt, the salt used to kasher meat, that product is not suitable for cooking as it is an extra coarse salt that does not dissolve well.
Is all salt kosher?
Yes. The substance itself is intrinsically kosher. The only question might arise if the sea salt is processed or packaged on machinery, or in a facility, where it could come in contact with non-kosher ingredients of other products.
Can you substitute pickling salt for kosher salt in pickle recipes?
If you need the salt to kosher meat then yes, so long as it absorbs all traces of blood from the meat. If you're using a recipe that requires kosher salt, however, it might be best not to - since kosher salt has larger granules than other types of salt, it reacts differently during cooking and so the recipe may taste different once cooked. Coarse sea salt can be used instead.
