What did everyone cook today?

Jonathon Salt is added to butter in order to increase the shelf life. Industry standard is 1 1/2 teaspoons per pound, although this will vary manufacturer to manufacturer as much as 1 to 3 teaspoons per pound.
That said, most properly written recipes will use unsalted butter, and usually this will call for salt added to the recipe in addition to the unsalted butter. Many consumer and home cooks just add both salted butter as well as salt usually resulting in a salt heavy product. Since the taste for salt is an acquired one, many people just get use to it, although it does shift the flavors and often mask the original balance.
The majority of chefs and industrial kitchens will always want to control the salt content of their food.
For general use after cooking, salted is usually preferred. For example, toast, biscuits, and items that are seasoned at the table typically taste better with salted butter.
My general rule is to use only unsalted butter when cooking and salted at the table.
Chef Perfect, no one could have said it better. I will say too, that the salt used properly & in the right proportions helps bring out the flavors & bring them to life, but too much is just like using too much of that smelly stuff in the house, it masks he flavor, & then we get acclimated to it.

zbigjeff sorry brotha. Hope your recovery is still going smooth. I can’t wait to see the results of all the deliciousness I’m sure you’ve been planning. Been a while since I made these. Forgot how good they are. Trouble.
Surg Thank you surg for the encouragement. The docs said it should be slow but sure and it is that as of right now. Each day is better than the last and that’s all one can ask. Keep making the schtuff that makes you and your family yearn for more.

craigrice The sausage supply is getting lower each day. So, as soon as I can stand and be stable, there will be some grinding and stuffing occurring. But, the one item I’d like to try that won’t entail much standing is the dump cake recipe. I can probably start planning that little ditty soon.

zbigjeff Hang in there Jeff. I understand, you have no idea. I know you you will back up & at it, before you know it & you will be OK. It will not happen overnight, but it will happen & you will be back to doing all the things you love, well, most all of them.

zbigjeff Glad to hear things are going well with your rehab and you are getting out and about a bit. However, I have a question; did they put a grease zert on your new hip to keep it working smoothly and to keep it from squeaking? Hope you get around to making something delicious very soon.
