The Many Uses of Salt   More Than Just Flavoring   by Nikki Willhite Here are some of the other uses of salt besides putting it on your table. There are more, but these are the only ones that I find practical. When you use the salt, it is either used diluted in water, or dry. Kitchen and Cooking Preserves salad greens (dry) Soak to remove fish scales. Keeps cracked eggs intact during boiling. Makes Beaten Egg Whites fluffier. Soak apples to freshen. Used for canning. Shortens cooking time of food in a double broiler. Sprinkle on pie spills in oven (while cooking) for easy cleanup afterwards. Cleaning Add to wash to brighten colors. Sprinkle on eggs dropped on the floor to clean up easily. Pre-soak- use to remove stains. Use with vinegar and flour to clean brass and copper. Removes ink on carpet (dry).
