Best Answer

Salt is inherently kosher and does not need certification. The salt sold as kosher salt is actually koshering salt, that is, salt used in the final step in kosher meat preparation prior to cooking. That requires that the meat be salted with coarse salt which is allowed to sit for a while before being washed off. Kosher salt is the right degree of coarseness for this. Some cooks prefer it for certain purposes because the larger salt crystals do not entirely dissolve before the food is served, so that as you eat it, you get bright salty notes in your mouth as you crush the remaining salt crystals. Other recipes that call for kosher salt seem to use it for no good purpose, since once it dissolves in water or food, it is just salt.
