The One Ingredient Eddie Jackson Can’t Live Without

Eddie Jackson wasted no time sharing his must-have ingredient. “You have to have salt!” he exclaimed definitively. He went on to clarify not only why you need salt, but also how to properly use it. It turns out that many of us have been salting incorrectly our entire lives.

“You got to season everything in levels,” he explained. “That’s what I tell people. People think that you just need to season with salt one time. Anytime you add something to a pan, you have to add a little pinch of salt and build those levels of flavor. That’s the biggest difference. When you go into a restaurant, making restaurant-quality dishes, is that they’re going to season at every level of the cooking process. And that’s what a lot of home cooks don’t realize.” 

Jackson’s tip on salt, along with the proper tools and appliances such as the Whirlpool Smart Appliances, can help anyone produce restaurant-quality food in the comfort of their own home.

Whirlpool’s Smart Appliances, including oven ranges with Air Fry Mode and Yummly Smart Thermometers, are available in stores and online wherever you purchase your appliances.
