How long do salt blocks last for cooking?

Salt blocks are generally designed to last for multiple cooking sessions. The exact duration that they last depends on how they are used and cared for. Generally, salt blocks can last anywhere from 3 to 10 cooking sessions. It is important to note that salt blocks should be heated slowly to ensure that they do not crack or split, and should be dried and stored in a dry environment after each use.

Does a salt block expire?

Yes, a salt block can expire. The amount of time a salt block will last depends on how it is stored and the type of salt used. Generally, unrefined salt blocks with no additives can last for up to two years, while unrefined salt blocks with additives can last for up to a year. Refined salt blocks with no additives can last for up to six months, while refined salt blocks with additives can last for up to three months. To ensure your salt block lasts as long as possible, it is important to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

When should I replace my salt block?

Generally, it is recommended that you replace your salt block every two to three months. Over time, the salt block will become less effective as minerals and other compounds in the water can build up on it, reducing its effectiveness. If you notice that the salt block is no longer producing the same level of softness and taste in your water, it is likely time to replace it.
