Are iodized salt and kosher salt the same?
No, they are two different types of salt.  Iodized salt has additives and is processed into smaller uniform grains meant to be free-flowing, typically for use in salt shakers, it’s also commonly referred to as table salt.  Kosher salt is generally used during cooking or for brining and curing food, and has a larger grain size then iodized salt.
