Has Morton Changed the Kosher Salt Grind?
Maybe its just me but my last two boxes of Morton Kosher Salt seems to be with a different grind. I'm used to a coarse but uniform flake but the new grind appears to be random and has some almost elongated flakes in it. I go through about two boxes a month so I don't think I'm dreaming this. I'm getting used to it but wish they'd go back to the uniform grand once again.

I have noticed this too. I will usually pour out a small amount in the palm of my hand and then take a couple of pinches to apply. I have noticed that some pinches are more granular and others actually feel only a little larger than table salt. I just thought it might have been related to shipping or the stock boy.... In the past, I always used Diamond, but I haven't had luck lately in finding it and ended up getting the Morton's. I just thought that was how this brand was.

Jesus. I go through about one of these boxes in an entire year. So I haven’t noticed any difference.
I think I need to cook more. 🤦ðŸ¼

Sorry my fellow Pitmasters, I have bigger issues. I use mainly to dry brine. Pease let me know if this new grind impacts your cooks and how.

One of those boxes probably lasts me 1-2 years, depending on how much curing I’m doing! I have a box that’s probably around a year old and it seems normal to me. I haven’t measured salt to dry brine in a long time, just sprinkle it on in the amount that looks appropriate. When curing I weigh it, so if the grind changed a bit I wouldn’t find it to be a big deal. If it was all fine like table salt I might be a bit irritated though, we expect kosher salt to be much coarser than table salt.

I am usually a Diamond Crystal guy but for a few months everyone around here was out of stock. I bought a couple boxes of Mortons and did notice it seemed different than previous boxes of Mortons I had used.
