The correct amount of salt will always benefit the dish: it becomes more delicious and of higher quality.

But no one wants bland food, just like no one wants oversalted food.

Therefore, when introducing this component, it is worth following special rules, reminds the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" on culinary issues, chef Yulia Arkhipova.

What do they consist of?

Salads

If you use soy sauce or lemon juice for dressing, the amount of salt should be small. The same rule applies to Olivier.

Soups

When preparing soups, it is enough to salt the broth well. Thanks to this, all the other components of the soup will be saturated with salt.

Desserts

When preparing any flour products, it is worth using at least a pinch of salt: this will improve the quality of desserts and baked goods.

Meat

This is a "capricious" product that can become dry due to the addition of salt. Therefore, fried meat is salted only after it is cooked. The same rule applies to French fries.

Temperature

It is important to remember that hot food does not seem as salty as it actually is. Therefore, you should first cool the part of the food that you took for testing.
