Comment on Could I theoretically grind up one of those pink salt lamps and use it to season my food?

I’m sorry everyone is advising against it. If you need a pink salt itch scratched they make big blocks of salt the size of cutting boards to season steak (or something I guess, I think it’s a solution looking for a problem) but they are food grade so buy five of those, stack them into a cube (bottom face is the table) and put a flashlight inside the box and go to town!
I’ve cooked with one of those. The idea is that you put it in your heat, then use it like a pan once it’s warm through.
I’ve only used it once so far (cleaning it looks intimidating since you can’t use water on it) and I was skeptical it would work as claimed, so I seasoned my meat beforehand.
I can confirm that it is very effective at conferring saltiness.
Spoke youtuber casted molten salt into a custom pan. Very effective at salting they said.
That’s what inspired me to buy mine! Still not sure I like watching the guy, but the wheel videos can be interesting.
