Coastal Flavors columnist Karey B. Johnson's first recipe is on how to make sea salt. It is simple and most of the effort involves hauling a pot of water.
The Energy Alternative to this is you can put the sea-water in a 1 inch flat pan, cover it with plastic wrap, and put it in a "hot" green house outside. It will eventually evaporate and leave the salt behind. Some of it will be on the cover. Sea-water evaporates good in slow and steady warm weather.
lol came to see if the theory of evaporating ocean water would yield sea salt, not disappointed. may come in handy if ever stranded on an oceanic island.
As for everybody bitching about using oven's or other means to use to get salt there are other methods as well that you can use like for example you can get a fire going in your backyard and you can get free wood from the trees from the woods that fell to the ground and burn that including the branches and sticks and stuff and including leaves that are totally free to use and burn you could use that to boil the salt water but you could do it in a large pot like the one that you seen her pouring out the water in the video with but you can use that to boil the salt out of the water and end up with 64.32 lbs of sea salt if not more!. That's a hell of a lot of damn salt people. That would last you at least 5 to 8 years I shit you not because I have tried this method myself when I use to live in long island NY just about a year ago. Not only that salt you can even sell it for very huge profits because even back in the day salt was more valuable than gold back in the day including like countries such as India and the Egyptians and other countries as well used to use it as currency back in the day. so to this day salt is still a commodity and a very valuable resource just like sugar is and cocoa beans. these were traded on the open market back in ancient times including when around the middle ages of the Roman times and Italy traded salt with the Jewish communities and so on. So it's not as far-fetched to think that boiling water even though it may take two days but if you do enough of it, it makes sense because you can sell it and there is still to this day a very huge market for it. It's all about supply and demand that makes it profitable. so don't be the one to judge when you haven't tried it on a grand scale yet because you could boil it using wood from the woods and burn it for free under a pot in your backyard and it wouldn't cost you a damn thing. And yeah it may take two days but you got to think of the pounds of salt you will gain in return that you could sell on the open market. So just think about that for a moment.
Filter it then boil it, but only boil it about 90% so it doesn't go too dry. Dry further and turn occasionally if need be - , alot quicker too, has to be done when it hasn't rained for a few days
This is great and all but wouldn't you rather just buy the salt from a mass producer? I mean leaving the oven on at 200 degrees for two days with the result of only that or a bit more amount of salt is hardly worth the price or time.
karen123cane The sun and air both evaporate water, this is a process called evaporation or distillation and is common in the salt industry to evade massive power costs. If spread thinly over a large pan the process can be completed rather quickly. For speed a solar oven can be used. As "freshness" isn't an issue with proper storage, sea salt should be prepared in bulk during the dry months to cover the wet ones.
Why not just buy sea salt? I'm not saying this because I'm opposed to DIYs or more traditional approach, but this is really wasteful. Most sea salt - at least where I'm from, Korea- is made by isolating sea water in a reserve and then sun drying them. As the salinity increases while water evaporates, salt crystals precipitate in the reserve. This is then scrapped, dried further, and if necessary undergoes further refinement and purification. Contaminants in sea water varies greatly depending on where you get them. The biggest concern is the heavy metal, but most coastal sea water excluding the industrial areas are quite safe. I just don't like the fact that she is burning more gas to make sea salt which is already quite cheap.
Sea water has 3-3.5% NaCl salt - that means your maximum yield from evaporating 20L of seawater would be 600g of salt. That would be even less in the caserole dish you loaded into the oven which maybe holds 2-3 litres of water. Furthermore, a tremendous amount for energy is spent in running your oven to evaporate that water (lets not even get into the CO2 debate). I am also curious what happens to your ovens in 2 months - I am sure they would be a pile of rust. I think you are misleading people.

people have missed the point that this was done in a restaurant, where the oven is on to cook food each day.
michael close
what's your point.
all the people whinging about the sun drying it for free.
if you have room in an oven that's already on to cook other things it's free and quicker.
michael close
Make sense.
This is GREAT! Keep up the good work Karey!
I have no idea getting sea salt was that easy, thanks!!
that's so awesomely awesome!
Well this is just cool!! Thanks!~John
i never knew how they made it good video

awesome video thank you
This will be very useful if I traveled to the past 1 day.
My Time Travel Survival plan
Cool, thank you

Amazing
Cool !!!
what about all the other contaminants in the water besides salt, getting baked in with the salt....... they refine sea salt to make it safe
2 days for that lol
Cool video
When you watch big corporations make sea salt, it takes 3 to five years. This took two days. Lol

So just think about that for a moment.
well if you take the time you can do anything O_O
wo. Contaminants.
does anyone realise she might have meant 2 hours?
how do you know it's not full of oil molecul how do you know it's not full of crap and microbiologically deasece
Filter it then boil it, but only boil it about 90% so it doesn't go too dry. Dry further and turn occasionally if need be - , alot quicker too, has to be done when it hasn't rained for a few days

That way maybe I will get an electricity bill go high
It's still easier and cheaper to just buy the salt from a mass producer compared to this method.
I think it's bitter .Because that sea ater contain MgCl
Should be MgCl2
just swap days and degrees but you would have to do a lot of math for that
thats dirty water you need to go way oout in the sea to get good cleaN SEASALT
Maybe the heat will kill th bacteria
I think ur salt is very bitter.Because magnesiun presence in it
Very odd to use the oven... The sun dries it for free and no harm to the environment.
its not hot enough

+rockinkitten wow lol this is what i called overly-environmentally conciseness
Its true. Why waste resources to do something that happens naturally...
Why not just buy sea salt?
