Let's imagine a situation: you added too much salt to the cutlet mince.

If the problem was identified before placing the meat “washers” in the frying pan, the dish can be easily saved.

It is enough to add a little more minced meat or bread to the base for the cutlets.

In other words, you need to “dilute” the oversalted mass with fresh one.

What should you do if you discover that there is too much salt after you have finished cooking the dish?

Oddly enough, there is a way out of this situation.

How to save oversalted cutlets

The expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova suggests gourmets to use one life-saving additive.

We are talking about such a popular fermented milk product as sour cream.

Just pour it over the cutlets and then simmer the dish.

There is another interesting option for saving oversalted meat “pucks”.

So, you need to return the cutlets to the frying pan, pour the cream diluted with water over them and add the pieces of vegetables.

Next, you need to place the filled dish on the burner, turn on the minimum heat and heat the contents until the vegetable components are ready.

In this case, the excess salt will “pass” into other ingredients. The cutlets will no longer seem too salty.
