    Why not add some salt(before) as a "primer?"

    If I add salt at the beginning of cooking, it's just a tish or it's garlic salt. I believe it dries meat out to put too much salt in it to cook it. I get more bang for my buck, it seems by adding it later. It's nothing I've read or learned, just what I do and I could be wrong.

    I dunno, but I love salt. If I had to give up salt or sugar, I would go with giving up sugar any day.

    You're not wrong. Salt does dry the meat out. I read that in my OLD Joy of Cooking cookbook- it says "salt draws the moisture from meat" I've tried it and I believe it's true.
    I'm not fond of sweet stuff, but I can't get enough salt. I LOVE salt.

    Fred - do you remember (like six years ago) that awesome "no peak" pot roast recipe that you posted. I've been trying to find it for about a year now. It involved marinading the meat in red wine for 24 hours, then doing the tinned mushroom / onion soup thing - but no peaking for three hours. I did it once and it was lovely.

    Yea I know - now's the time to add the link. Shit. Now I have to go look for it :cuss:.
