What's the point of using salt if all you're going to use is a little pinch?

Question

I see people using just a pinch of salt. To me, not enough to taste. If something needs salt, and I can't taste it, I'm gonna add more lol.

Answer 1

same here i like it nice and salty
but sometimes salt helps break down food and adds some flavor also when your baking things salt helps ir rise and in some cases you Dont wanna taste the salt ( cake cookies etc )

Answer 2

Salt helps bring all the ingredients and flavors together. You're not really supposed to taste the salt ; that's why recipes call for only a little bit !

Answer 3

Salt brings out the flavor of food in cooking and baking with about 1/2 to 1 tsp. for a typical recipe. If I am seasoning my food however, I do use and like a lot.

Answer 4

Adding just a little pinch puts flavor to the desired food. If you already have other ingredients in the food, or the food has a strong flavor itself, you could be covering the potency of each flavor.
