This method was used to create salt by ancient Chinese, Romans and Indians. Buddha taught the world how to keep and collect salt in early fifth century BC. The Romans used ceramic containers called briquetage to collect the brine. Workers scraped up the concentrated salt and washed away the impurities. The brine was then placed in shallow pans. They were then set on clay pillars over a peat fire. The workers then sold the dried, powdered sea salt to the people of the colonial New World. In the New World, slaves were brought from Africa to rake salt on various islands in the West Indies, such as the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands.

How to make an omelet that is perfect

Omelets have always been a favourite food to eat for breakfast. How do you make them perfect? There are many recipes and methods I tried, but none worked. So I am sharing some tips and tricks today to help you make fluffy, delicious omelets every morning.

Before we start making omelets, let's remember that eggs are temperamental. The eggs must be fresh from an organic source and kept at room temperature until they are ready to be cooked. If you don't keep them cold enough, the whites won't form properly, and the yolks will break down too much and become runny. This makes your omelets look weirdly colored. If you want to make omelets right away, it's best not to use eggs that are too cold.

You can also separate the egg before you add it to the pan. You don't want the white to get mixed with the yolk, as this could cause the egg to curdle.

You might burn the bottom of the egg if you place the egg directly on the stovetop. This could ruin the texture of your omelet. Instead, heat the egg for 10 seconds in the microwave before placing it in the pan. The microwave heat cooks your egg just right, without it becoming too soft.

Next, let us talk about how to mix the eggs. You want to mix the eggs thoroughly before you add them. Turn the bowl upside down and grab the whisk to do this. Then shake the bowl vigorously. By doing this, the egg is thoroughly mixed with the air in the bowl.

Now comes the fun part - pouring the milk into the mixture. Fold the eggs in the milk mixture by first pouring half of it into the egg whites. Do not be alarmed if there are still egg streaks visible. Once the omelet flips, these streaks will disappear.

After folding the eggs fold the pan onto medium heat. When the oil starts to hot, wait for the pan to cook. When the oil is hot enough, add 1/4 cup butter to the pan. Stir it around until the butter covers the entire pan. Open the lid and sprinkle salt on the pan. The salt will help to prevent the omelet's sticking to the pan.

Cover the pan once you have formed the omelet. Wait for the top to set. Flip the omelet by using a spatula. Cook the other half for another minute. Serve immediately after removing the omelet from its pan.

This recipe works best when you use whole milk.
