all that salt will surely be perfect for SALT CRUSTED CHICKEN recipe, I read that this is a classic chinese recipe which calls for 8 - 9 cups (some use 9 lbs) of salt for a 3 lb chicken.
although most recipes call for kosher salt, i guess it would do.

Salt is so last week.
This week it is laundry detergent in Shanghai.
Sorry, am out of date. Why laundry detergent? I'm not going to stock up on anything except for tin can food which can keep longer and as a small way to fight food cost inflation.
