No. Quick salt is another name for saltpeter, or potassium nitrate: among other things, it's used for making cured meats like salami. Kosher salt is made of sodium chloride like regular table salt, but has larger grains and is used to draw blood out of meat in order to make the meat kosher (hence the name).
