Diamond Crystal Kosher salt is larger grained and it take 50%. Morton kosher is even larger grain and it takes twice as much. So the equivalent is :<br /><br />1 t table salt = 1 1/2 t Diamond Crystal Kosher = 2 t Morton Kosher <br /><br />Outside of baking, salt is mostly to taste anyways. I always picture what I used but if I say salt, it is table salt or equivalent. If I say course salt I try to mean the salt pictured but really substitute back and forth between the Morton and Diamond Crystal since they are close. <br /><br />Sea salt is about like Morton. The fancier designer salts (various seas salts etc.) seems strange to me. Somebody has much better taste buds than I do... The only difference is some trace minerals.<br /><br />Remember salt is just sodium chloride, nothing magic. Anymore I tend to keep the Diamond Crystal next to the stove and just equilibrate when I measure.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08087856024096096284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514047866200295403.post-27642024166755441612013-10-28T14:48:09.729-04:002013-10-28T14:48:09.729-04:00random question:)

Is it bad to use one over the other? Ive googled this question before when trying one of the tenderloin recipes but it was kinda confusing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12929578035412188808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514047866200295403.post-72897035082575827772013-09-28T18:51:47.615-04:002013-09-28T18:51:47.615-04:00Looks good, but I only have/use long grain rice.Looks good, but I only have/use long grain rice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13930385584072751783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514047866200295403.post-25577273032800144162013-09-16T19:17:49.543-04:002013-09-16T19:17:49.543-04:00Pinned it, I like Mexican rice so one with chicken...Pinned it, I like Mexican rice so one with chicken is even better, right?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861482393432330011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514047866200295403.post-25200918935844548452013-09-12T12:01:44.678-04:002013-09-12T12:01:44.678-04:00I will try it soon with long grain rice.

I initially was going to do this stove top to oven with only partly cooking the chicken and long grain rice but I "chickened" out plus time is a big issue for me right now. If you do it, let me know. Dan<br />PS Note to others, DO NOT just substitute other rices into this technique. The technique needs to match the rice used.

She called it spanish rice. I think I might try your version with long grain rice as I am not a fan of minute rice.Feldydancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05455027580561194139noreply@blogger.com
