When cooking we sometimes make the mistake of over-salting our
meals but this does not mean that the food is ruined, there are still ways to
fix an over-salted meal. Here are 4 useful hacks to fix food that's
too salty.
Dilute With Water
When making foods that can be diluted like rice or when making
soups, stews or sauces, you can add some extra water, stock, tomato sauce or
juice to give the salt more volume which helps to spread it out and make the
overall dish less salty. Just be sure to add a fair amount and not over do it,
so you don't lose the flavour of the food.
Give it a Quick Rinse
To fix over-salted meat, you can rinse them under running water
and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel when you're done. If the salt is overly
excessive (pardon the tautology), then you can 'leach' the salt out by soaking
the meat in water for like an hour or two.
Add More
If you have enough ingredients then you can add more to the meal
by doubling the recipe or making more by half. You can mix this into the salty
meal a bit at a time until you've reached your desired flavour.
Add Some Acid
Acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar help to mask
aggressive saltiness with a new flavour. It helps greatly when added to salty
potato or fish dishes. When using vinegar to reduce saltiness, be sure to opt
for mild vinegar like white wine vinegar so the effect on the meal with not be
adversely profound.
