I got a Himalayan salt block and it's great for grilling shrimp etc but it's impossible to clean. Any tips? I'm thinking soap isn't good for

This is not that impossible but you can't keep it clean like other utensils. I also use [https://saltpur.co.za/product-category/salt-blocks/]Himalayan salt blocks for BBQ and Grilling[/url]. and they are super cool in this. Only thing we need is some precautions to handel them like they are easily breakable, they don't cool down quickly and your question they can't be washed. Just use dry steelwool to clean it and than dry it with a woolen cloth. Store it a super dry place. Enjoy the meal

Yes, you'll be fine. It is important to keep it dry, and that includes not washing it. As mentioned buff with a dry stainless scrubber, then wipe with a dry cloth. Store it in a dry manner and place. If you are concerned about biological contaminants, don't be. It's pretty difficult for anything to grown in or on salt because of the absence of moinsture - another good reason to keep it from water.

Here's a picture

Soap is a no go for salt blocks. Like cast iron, its normal for salt blocks to build up patina of fats on their surface. The salt flavor will still come through. Think of it as making it your own, one of a kind salt block. If you must clean for aesthetic reasons, a light touch with a metal scouring pad should do (just work softly and deliberately).
