As someone who believes that a little salt can elevate a recipe from mediocre to amazing, you can tell which type of stick I reach for. Here's why it's always worth it. 1. SALTED BUTTER IS THE PERFECT CONDIMENT. © Provided by Delish Ya know how when you have grilled chicken, steak, and corn on the cob and sometimes it feels like it just needs something? A finishing touch that will make it feel extra special? That is salted butter plus a little bit of fresh rosemary or thyme and garlic. 2. UNDER-SEASONING WILL NOT BE YOUR WORST ENEMY. Like Ina Garten, I belong in the camp of cooks who think everyone is afraid of adequate seasoning. Now I'm not trying to promote high sodium intake, but a little bit of salt in a recipe can go such a long way. Contrary to popular belief, food that is properly seasoned won't taste salty; it will add more vibrancy to your food by bringing out the subtle flavors. By using salted butter in your cooking, you'll be one step closer to properly seasoning your dinner. 3. SALTY SWEETS ARE EVERYTHING. © Provided by Delish I'm the type who tastes a chocolate chip cookie my friend freshly baked and desperately starts searching for flaky sea salt. (Not kidding: I keep this mini case of Maldon in my purse at all times.) Most baking recipes call for unsalted butter purely because, unlike when you're cooking, you can't taste as you go. So they figure out a nice amount of salt to add to balance the flavors, but not quite enough to get that subtly salty kick. Salted butter changes all of that for brownies, cookies, and banana bread. Disclaimer: If you do have salted butter in the fridge and worry that your baked dish is going to be too salty, you can always just decrease the amount of added salt in the recipe.
