Gourmet Salt-Infused Dishware

The 'Afire Smokin' Salt Plate' Enhances Food with Himalayan Salt

— August 28, 2013 — Lifestyle
The 'Afire Smokin' Salt Plate' is the ultimate dish for adventurous foodies. Afire's plate is made up of natural salt mined from the Himalayan mountains. As you use the plate to cook or serve food, it infuses your meals with gourmet salt. After using the plate, all you have to do is scrub it and pat it dry. Since the dish is naturally anti-microbial, you don't have to worry about using salt.

The plate can be used in any situation where you may need salt. You can place the plate on a grill to heat it up and imbue your food with a luxe seasoning. If you prefer to use it as a dish, you can use it to serve food. The plate will lightly salt your dishes while you eat.
