If you oversalt your food while cooking, you shouldn’t despair or panic.

You can save food in simple ways.

Water

You need to add a little clean water if too much salt gets into the sauce or gravy.

This must be done gradually.

Then the mixture needs to be brought to a boil.

Cereals and pasta can be rinsed under running water.

Rice

The cereal should be wrapped in gauze and placed in the soup for 10 minutes.

In addition, if the minced meat turns out to be too salty, it is enough to change the recipe a little and add rice so that the taste of the dish will be more pleasant in the end.

Potato

The raw and peeled vegetable should be added to soup or stew to remove excess salt.

After 20 minutes the root vegetable can be harvested.

Butter or cream

You can make the taste softer and more balanced by adding a little butter or heavy cream.

For example, this method is great for stewing chicken.
