It is not for nothing that they say that salt is a white poison. Excess salt literally turns food into poison.

There are many life hacks that allow you to save oversalted food. But what to do if, having oversalted the minced meat, you only found out about it after trying the finished cutlets? Even in this case, everything can be fixed.

Let's find out if it is possible to remove excess salt from finished cutlets.

Method one

The finished cutlets need to be placed in a frying pan, covered with sour cream or unsalted cream sauce and stewed to taste and desire.

Method two

You can stew vegetables together with the cutlets. They are poured with either regular water, cream or milk.

You need to simmer it on low heat until the vegetables are cooked.

In this case, the dish does not need to be salted at all. The vegetables will draw out the excess salt from the cutlets.

Method three

If vegetables are not included in the evening plans, then the cutlets can be recycled.

You can boil unsalted pasta and mix oversalted cutlets with it – you will get something similar to navy-style pasta.

Alternatively, you can prepare a potato casserole using the same recipe as pasta.
