Open pan salt making

Open pan salt making is a way of making salt. It is a process that starts with natural saltwater, which is then heated up in a large, shallow pan until the water evaporates. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind salt crystals inside the pan. This salt can then be used for cooking or for other uses. It is a very old method of making salt and is still used today in many parts of the world.
