  • Way to salty, made a whole dish with this and had to Chuck it all away because of the quantity of salt in it. I didn’t use table salt and I halved the amount because i thought it seemed crazy but it still tasted horrible. I would not recommend it.

  • 这是delicious. Only recommendation is to *let it sit* for a few days. It's a bit harsh at first; it takes a day or two for the flavors to mellow. I also reduced the salt and added some MSG (because let me live).

  • Been using this as my goto spice for breakfast dishes, mostly seafood skillets. Only mod I made was since we like to use pink Himalayan salt , reduced it to same as pepper. So far everyone loves the results,

  • I followed the instructions on the first try. Delicious. I messed up the second time and used table salt. Way too salty. Threw it out and started again with kosher Salt. Perfection. I use it all the time now.

  • This is a disaster. WAY WAY too much sea salt. It will ruin any dish it is added to. My advice is cut the sea salt back to 1 tbsp. PS. I love sea salt. So, you know...

  • WAY too much salt! & the spice a touch numbing to the palate. Regrettably wasted a cup's worth of ingredients.

  • Delicious recipe. Beware if you use regular table salt that you won't need as much salt as the recipe calls for because regular salt is more compact. Use half the amount of salt that the original recipe calls for.
