Questions about the Salt poster

What’s on the Salt poster?
A 5-row table: Salt · Use for · Note. Same weight, very different volumes.

Salt draws water out and then carries flavour back in. Season in layers throughout cooking, not once at the end.
Who is the Salt poster for?
Salt belongs to the Kitchen section rather than to a school year, because food is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning ingredients can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Salt poster?
Measure salt by weight. A teaspoon of table salt is nearly twice a teaspoon of flaky salt. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Salt belongs on the wall where that food work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Salt?
Storing Bread, Cheese and Chillies sit alongside Salt in the Kitchen section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Storing BreadCheeseChillies
Is the Salt poster free to download and print?
Yes. Salt downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Kitchen section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Salt poster print at?
Salt is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Salt loses nothing.Printing guide
