Has anyone cooked a hamburger in a waffle iron? I got a waffle iron for christmas (which i am thankful for) and imediately imagined cooking a waffle hamburger. I thought this may have been a new food I invented, but google says its pretty common.

So, you take a block of salt and cook on it?  Seems like that first fish would either contaminate the salt block enough so that the next several things you cooked would taste like rancid fish, or in cleaning the block for the next use, you would have to basically dissolve away half the block.  DNR link.

Negative. From what I've read, Himalayan salt blocks are very non-porous, thus they do not absorb flavors of whatever you're cooking on them, and in turn they only impart a little saltiness into your food. They are also very thick (the one I received is 2 inches thick). To clean it you simply wipe it off with a wet sponge/cloth.

Concern #2: I like to closely control the amt of salt I add when cooking.  IMO, rough ridin' that up is one of the easiest ways to ruin a dish.  I would imagine that would be more difficult with that brick.

#3, as you cook/clean the thing, it loses mass.  As it loses mass, it will eventually heat differently and thus cook differently.

How many times can you cook on it before it's gone?

#2: salt a little less than normal. Learn from trial and error?

#3: true, but very, very little. You're more likely to lose it due to fractures in the block, which will inevitably happen, it's an inherent risk when cooking with them. That leads me to...

Most places I've read say a couple dozen or more. Done properly it should last a while, but eventually it IS going to break. All you can do is take the proper precautions and enjoy it while it lasts. Then, if you enjoy it enough, you can buy another.

I absolutely love avocados but never had them sauteed.  Do you just saute them like you would anything else or is there a special way?  The reason I ask is if I do try this I can't be wasting avocados as they are too good to waste.

Just preheat some olive oil on like medium high.  Cut them in less than half inch thick slices.  Cook in the oil till begin to brown then flip.  For the eggs I lowered the heat and cooked 3 minutes on the back side.

Cooked some bacon and eggs this morning. Bacon was a little too crispy but the eggs were perfectly over easy and were cooked in the bacon fat so they were really tasty.
