Re: Basic Butt Rub
Just wondering why non-iodized salt? I did use that for the Dr. Barbecue rub (sea salt) but not on purpose. Does the iodizing do something to the taste?

Re: Basic Butt Rub
Iodized salt has the addition of iodide, which is very similar to iodine, except for the addition of a single molecule of potassium or sodium and a slightly different charge and atomic weight. Some say iodized salt will give a slightly metallic taste. There's no need to use iodized salt these days if you eat enough seafood you'll get plenty of iodide (and iodine) in your diet.doogster wrote:Just wondering why non-iodized salt?

There are 3 kinds of people in this world, those who are good at math and those who aren't.

Re: Basic Butt Rub
Next time I make the rub I'll use Kosher salt (non-iodized) just for the lager crystals. The sea salt does have a much less acrid flavor in my opinion.
