What is an example of a product that is not elastic?

A product that is "not elastic" is considered "inelelastic." More precisely, we say that DEMAND for the product is elastic or inelastic (a good example of an"elastic product" is a rubber band, but that is to say nothing of its demand.Inelastic goods tend to fall into a few categories. They may be goods which have few close substitutes. This means that broadly defined goods tend to have less elastic demand than narrowly defined goods. For example, "vegetables" have less elastic demand than "broccoli," because if the price of broccoli goes up, we can easily switch to cauliflower or asparagus. Likewise, "vegetables" have more elastic demand than "food." When vegetables are more costly, we can stock up on grains or fruits (but probably won't switch to more meats, since they tend to be more expensive already). If the price of food goes up, we will simply pay it if we can. Thus, "food" is a relatively inelastic good.Another category of goods with inelastic demand is goods whose cost represents a small portion of our budgets. Salt is a great example. If the cost of salt doubles from $1 to $2, we are unlikely to cut our consumption in half. We may not even notice.

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.

Should you use food grade salt instead of rock salt and why or why not?

Rock salt is not as pure. There is often foreign material left from when they scraped it up from the ground. Food grade salt is much cleaner and it includs iodine which is there to prevent thyroid problems. You can still get coarse salt that is considered "food grade". If you are using it to melt snow use the rock salt its cheaper and the larger grains give better traction
