I believe salt draws the moisture out to the surface, where it evaporates. If you salt your watermelon or cantaloupe, you will notice this effect. Also, you shouldn't soak dried beans in salted water. The salt toughens the skins. Only put salt in towards the end of cooking them. Just my one cent.
True, but see my reply above.I say tale. As the fat in the meats cause it to shrink which breaks down while cooking.my thoughts only
I agree with your statement
Addendum: This effect of salt can be a godsend if you spill red wine on your carpet or rug. Years ago, when I was still married, we had a party and one of my wife's best friends dropped an entire glass of merlot onto our favorite rug in the living room. She immediately ran to our kitchen and grabbed the container of regular salt and poured the whole thing on top of the spill. It literally soaked up every drop of the red wine. Then we just scraped up the red salt and threw it away. Saved our favorite rug and possibly their friendship.I believe salt draws the moisture out to the surface, where it evaporates.

Depends on the meat kind of....I mean salt pulls out moisture so technically I suppose it does shrink...however -

Will keep in mind. Although I always secure my wine with both hands for safety and security purposesAddendum: This effect of salt can be a godsend if you spill red wine on your carpet or rug.

That makes me think of Hawaiian luaus where they bury a whole pig in a giant pit in the sand and cover it with coals and top it all off with sand. Let it cook low and slow for hours. It's absolutely delicious, but they serve it with this purplish gray paste that's awful. It's some kind of ground-up local root.
I’ve heard it makes it tough! I’ll refrain from another meat comment
It's certainly very abrasive. Oh, wait. Maybe you were talking about something else.I’ve heard it makes it tough! I’ll refrain from another meat comment
