Just about everything. It's just salt, and the advantage of
"kosher" salt in particular is in the larger grains/flakes. It's
easier to pick up with the fingers and sprinkle, and sticks
nicely to various things. I keep it in an offical Alton Brown
Sodium Chloride Containment Unit (no, I'm not THAT big
an Alton geek, but I've always liked the little flip-the-top-up
-with-yer-thumb container he's always using; see
www.altonbrown.com for details). Just be advised that
this form measures (by volume) a bit differently than regular
table salt - since the grains are larger, there's not as much
salt in "a teaspoon of salt" when you're using kosher. Adjust
recipes accordingly (increasing by something like 1.5X seems
about right).
