Why does salt make things moist instead of drying them out?

How in the name of chemistry does this work?? Debunk, please...



I thought salt dried things out, not made them moist and gloppy.

Welcome to pf:

I didn't watch the entire thing, but ask yourself this: why when you put some foods in the microwave (for example, a piece of pizza) do they become soggy?
