Himalayan Salt Cooking Plates

Our salt plates are made from Himalayan rock salt, available in various sizes and shapes to suit different cooking styles. Extracted in its purest form as large salt boulders, the rock is skillfully carved into Himalayan salt slabs, plates, and bowls for culinary applications. The primary reason for their popularity is their natural purity, free from additives or artificial processing.

Cooking Plates

Our Himalayan salt slabs are perfect for both hot and cold culinary applications. Heat your salt plate to high temperatures for searing meats, fish, vegetables, and seafood, or use it chilled to serve sushi, fresh fruits, cheese, and even cold desserts.


Sourced from deep within the ancient Himalayan salt range in Pakistan, these plates have been preserved for centuries, ensuring they remain free from pollution and impurities. Each Himalayan salt slab is cut, shaped, and polished into salt plates, bricks, and cooking slabs, making them a must-have for gourmet cooking.


Since Himalayan salt plates are a natural product, their ability to withstand high temperatures may vary. Their unique crystalline structure gives them a distinctive appearance, making them an elegant display piece for home kitchens, restaurants, and fitness centers alike.

How to Cook with Himalayan Salt Cooking Plates

Unlike traditional cooking surfaces, Himalayan salt slabs retain and distribute heat evenly, allowing for a balanced and slow cooking process. However, salt plates should not be exposed to sudden temperature changes, as moisture inside the plate may expand, leading to cracks. To maximize the lifespan of your Himalayan salt slab, follow these guidelines:

Using Your Himalayan Salt Plate for Cooking

  • Preheat Gradually – To prevent cracking, heat the plate of salt slowly.
  • Heat to High Temperatures – Salt plates can reach up to 450°F (232°C) and maintain heat for extended cooking.
  • Ideal for Searing – Perfect for grilling meats, seafood, and vegetables.
  • Retains Cold Well – Chill in the refrigerator to serve sushi, cheese, or desserts.
