“BADOP! is designed to make all of your food taste better—without changing a single thing about how you cook or the recipes you love.”
It’s a precisely calibrated blend of kosher salt and crystalline MSG, designed to be used exactly the same way you use regular salt. Salt your steaks. Dry-brine your roast chicken. Season your soups. Sprinkle it on salads. Pinch it onto burgers before smashing them on the griddle. Add a dash to buttered popcorn. Put a pinch in chocolate chip cookies or butterscotch pudding. Or—Kenji's favorite childhood snack—sprinkle a little over freshly sliced cucumber.
No extra steps. No special rules. Just better results.
BADOP! is an easy 1:1 swap for salt. No new techniques. No new rituals. It just takes a pinch for better results.
BADOP! works the same way salt does. Same pinch. Same timing. Same habits. Just better results.
Straight salt and straight MSG both take finesse. BADOP! is dialed in so seasoning feels easier, steadier, and more forgiving.
Badop! goes on everything!
