It'll only get worse: what you should never throw into oversalted soup
In an attempt to save oversalted soup, you can only make the situation worse by adding this ingredient.
Not all tricks are good when it comes to fixing a bad dish, as a trick that has suddenly become popular on the Internet proves.
So, culinary bloggers claim that oversalted soup can be saved by a potato. You need to peel the root vegetable and throw it into the pot. It is believed that the vegetable will absorb the excess salt and the soup will become edible.
However, it turned out that this trick is a myth. In fact, the potatoes will also become salty, but they will actually absorb the liquid.
This can make the dish too thick, so solving one problem can create another.
If the soup is too salty, you can correct the problem by adding water or broth, if it was prepared separately. By increasing the liquid, the salt will not be so noticeable and the dish can be safely served.
