Kosher food may be made with kosher salt, but it doesn't have to be. It can be made just as well
with sea salt, garlic salt, celery salt, low salt, or no salt, depending on the preferences of the
people who are planning on eating it. For that matter, it can also be made with freshly ground
black pepper, as well as with cumin, thyme, lemon zest, dry mustard, cinnamon, cardamom,
parsley, sage, rosemary, and curry. You name it.

What can kosher salt be used for?

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.
Is a food Kosher if it's made with iodized salt?
Yes it is: since salt is a mineral and not produced from an animal source, it is considered parve - that is, kosher laws do not apply to it and it can be eaten by Jewish people with any parve or kosher food. I suspect you've seen kosher salt and made the common mistake - one made even by many Jewish people - of assuming that it's actually kosher. You can be easily forgiven for that, because the name suggests this to be the case. However, it's a bit of a misnomer, and a better name would be koshering salt - the name by which it is usually known in Britain. It's so-called because it's used during the process of koshering meat. To be kosher, meat must have all traces of blood removed from it because even the tiniest speck of blood makes food treif - the word which, though literally meaning torn, is used for any non-kosher food - and as such cannot be eaten by Jews. To get rid of the blood, the meat is covered with koshering salt which absorbs all the blood and can then be discarded. So, to answer your question, you can use any type of salt you like when cooking and - provided you've observed all the other kosher laws - the food will remain kosher.

Has kosher salt been blessed?
The term "kosher salt" derives not from its being made in accordance with the guidelines for kosher foods as written in the Torah (nearly all salt is kosher, including ordinary table salt), but rather due to its use in making meats kosher by removing surface blood. One salt manufacturer considers the term ambiguous, and distinguishes between "kosher certified salt" and "koshering salt": "koshering salt" has the "small, flake-like form" useful in treating meat, whereas "kosher certified salt" is salt that has been certified as such by an appropriate religious body
Why is kosher salt better?
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.
