Not sure I have ever said box of salt.

for crawfish a box of salt is the 1lb cylinder. I assume that’s why you are asking

You know what a box of salt is. Stop trolling because you're bored with your life.

I'm pretty sure we are all guilty of this considering we're on a thread discussing salt container terms.

As I said, serious question, no troll. But go ahead and get snippy with me because you need to feel like a big boy tonight.

I assume it’s a 1 pound cylinder, as I said.

But to me, a box is a box, not a cylinder, as I said.

I want to know what other people are meaning when they give a recipe that says box of salt.

No idea why this is getting hate Born and raised in south LA, and I would never have assumed a "box" of salty for crawfish recipes was the round cylinder.

Why is this even a question? It's a 1 lb. container of Morton's or whatever size other brands of salt come in---usually no more than 2 lbs.

When Costco sold salt in bulk, I'd buy the 25 lb. bag of it and put it in sealed containers in my pantry. They still sell flour, rice and other stuff in bulk, but no longer sell the salt.

So by your own definition, it can refer either to 1 pound or 2, and you wonder why it's a question?

Doubling the salt is kind of a big deal
