The caviar is also not washed with cold water or soaked - this is useless and even harmful to the product. The water can make the eggs hard and the delicacy will turn into an unpalatable product.

The caviar is not covered with sugar - it is useless, the eggs will remain oversalted.

If the product is a little too salty, you can try adding some vegetable oil to the caviar, which will neutralize and soften the salty taste a little.

In addition, oversalted caviar is poured with warm tea, and after a few minutes the liquid is drained. However, after this you will have to rinse the eggs with boiled water.

The saltiness of caviar can be reduced by using cold. The caviar is placed in a container and sent to the freezer for several days.

It is better if the caviar lies in the freezer for a week, during which time the salt crystallizes. Then the caviar should be moved to the main compartment of the refrigerator so that it defrosts a little.

After this, the caviar must be washed with tea or distilled water.
