Camerons Himalayan Pink Salt Block for Grilling, 8"x8"

Bought it in 2020 and still going strong in 2026. Based on the reviews I was worried this would break. So far, it has shown durability and I've gotten the value for the money I purchased it for. Easy to use.

First off, I ordered the 8 x 8, and got a 12 x 6, and I'm not complaining!!! This is my first, and wasn't sure what size I'd need. Honestly, I don't know how you would cook on smaller than this. I used it my first time last night, made hamburger patties and grilled onions. I had read reviews, articles, tips and hints on the internet before even buying, and was prepared to heat it up slowly, so not to screw it up, success. What comes next, I wasn't prepared for. As mentioned, I thought this was pretty small for even hamburger patties, and onions (after the patties were cooked). I knew I couldn't fit 3 patties on the slab, so just did 2. Well, as the fat from the meat began coming out, it was dripping down the sides, used maybe a dozen paper towels to sop up the grease before it hit the electric burner (btw, I used a wok ring to set the slab on). I found that I should not leave this unattended for even a second, because in the time it took to take 2 steps to grab another papertowel, LOL, I got fire. A small fire that I quickly blew out. Then I leapt over to just grab the entire roll of papertowels to keep up with the grease. I sopped up all the grease when I took the other patties off and before putting the last patty on to cook. I found that it was much easier and less messy to do one at a time, ha, and no fires! Then came the onions. Again, I couldn't put them all on to cook, so did it in 2 batches, again, fire-free!! No, my next lesson... while the food was good, we really aren't big on salt. I cook with it, but we don't use it after food is cooked. And since this was cooked on salt, didn't use it when preparing. However, the food, meat and onions, turned out salty. Now, this isn't like table salt, over-salty, it was just more than our liking. My lesson? Yes, I was thinking that I'd heat up the block to the heat I use in my cast iron skillets for cooking these...wrong. It clearly says to get that temp up, or your food with be like it's marinating, and that's exactly what it was doing, marinating in salt! So, get that temp up to 500 degrees to avoid the saltiness, don't put too much meat that will produce THAT much grease (and I use 90% lean burger meat) at the same time. I absolutely detest cooking, and this took much longer than I ever want to spend in the kitchen, but, I have this strange desire to do this again, asap. Also, cleanup was very easy. Yeah, it took 3 hours for the block to cool off completely before I could clean it, but I bought the nifty scrubber thing with this, and it worked perfectly. I put water on the scrubber, not on the block, and just dried it with a papertowel. I do love the look of it on my stove, just hate how every time I see it, it keeps calling me, "cook on me". Next purchase, blinders and earplugs!

I was so excited to try but the slab came in multiple pieces. My bad, I didn’t see that there was no returns even though it was obvious that it was poorly made and fractured in multiple places. Update, seller reached out and sent a new slab. It does amazing things to chicken, steak, and hamburgers! So moist and flavorful, I can’t wait to try grilling other food on it. Definitely would recommend

We just opened our salt block. Very disappointed at the lack of use and care instructions. We learned very quickly after some studying online that it is critical to bring the salt block slowly up to temperature....not just the oven temperature but the temperature of the block itself. This takes time! We are fortunate to have a laser infrared thermometer and were able to check the temperature of our block as it steadily heated in our oven. It took a half hour to bring the salt block up to 250 degrees to match the oven temp at first. It then heated more rapidly to reach 450 degrees (total time in the oven was about 1 hour and 20 minutes) before we put it on the grill to get up to 500 degrees. The videos we watched online suggested this method. Our food tasted great, though use caution - our unshelled shrimp were extremely salty. Next time we will use shrimp with shells to see if it helps. The steak was great! We will update this post in the future if we encounter any problems.

Very heavy and not sturdy but a great value

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and we have used it many times. We cook our meat to a rare temp, heat this in the oven and then put it in the middle of the table. Place individual bites of steak on it to bring it up to desired temp. The kids have so much fun with it. Scallops and shrimp are also a hit. The Block has held up well and we will definitely buy another when the time comes.

So I understood the no return policy and that I was taking a chance. I purchased the 8 inch because it was the smallest and least expensive for this reason. It arrived very poorly wrapped. A huge corner section was completely broken through representing approximately 1/4 of the product. It’s impossible to use it for grilling. Fortunately for me I didn’t buy it for that reason. I’m a massage therapist and my intention was to heat it on a warmer and place my Himalayan massage stones on it to heat as well. I don’t need to do this but it would present beautifully. I will attempt to glue it in an effort to accomplish my goal. That said it would never chance purchasing this item unless they drastically improve the packaging. The thin box it came in was very beat up. I’m sure it broke in the ups travels.

I love the small size of this block perfect when cooking for two! Just remember things cook faster on this!

Il est arrivé cassé

Product did arrive on time unfortunately it was crystallized In the bottle making me think it is not fresh

Received the block to give as a gift. The box had been opened and one of the corners was broken. It cannot be returned.
