Salt is one of the most commonly used spices in cooking. With it, we flavor every single dish and give it a finished look. Without these white crystals, we cannot make food taste delicious. However, they should not be overdone, because we risk not only over-salting the dish, but also harming our health.
Today we’re going to tell you how, with a few tricks, you can fix oversalted food and serve it on your table without worrying about getting disapproving looks.
How to fix an oversalted dish?
It is better that the dish is unsalted than salted. Any self-respecting chef will tell you that. Yes, but sometimes it happens that we make a mistake and the end result is too salty food that cannot be consumed.
At such times, it is not desirable to eat the dish, because you can harm your blood pressure, your eyesight, and even your kidneys. It’s also not a good idea to throw the food in the waste bin because it’s still money, time and effort.
Here’s what you can do to fix your error:
• Potato;
Take a few potatoes, peel them, and add them to your simmering soup, stew, or whatever else you’ve been cooking. After about 10 minutes, take them out. This vegetable has the ability to absorb salt and will certainly be able to adjust the taste of the products in the pot.
• Toast;
If by some chance you don’t have potatoes, you can substitute them with a slice of toast. The effect will be the same.
Which people should never eat salty food?
• Rice;
Yes, rice is also capable of fixing manja. If the dish allows, add a coffee cup of rice to it.
People consciously strive to reduce the amount of salt they consume, believing that this spice is really harmful to the body …
• Milk;
You can also add a coffee cup of fresh milk. Here again, it is advisable to consider the rest of the products you are cooking and assess whether they allow this additive.
• Wrap the meat in a towel.
If you have cooked roast meat and “rubbed out” the salt, we recommend that you wrap it in a wet towel and sprinkle it with one or two spoons of salt. Leave the meat in a closed container for about an hour. You will then notice how white crystals have formed all over the cloth. This means that excess salt has been extracted from the meat.
Take advantage of these tricks if you ever oversalt the dish!
