Did you sprinkle a little too much salt in your soup?
Did you sprinkle a little too much salt in your soup ? Wait, before you throw it away and your thinking of the closest take out food. Here's a quick remedy, peel and slice a raw potato place it in your soup, stew, sauce or whatever else you are cooking.
The potato is known to absorb water from the food, when you add salt to food it turns into water. the potato absorbs the water with the salt thus removing the saltiness and you replace it with new water.
You let the potato boil for up to half an hour and then you remove it.
I have tried this myself and it works.
This is a popular tip for southern US cooking too. Thank you, Ireland, for blessing us all with the potato! An unsung hero. :)

ReplyDeleteI tend to use less salt because I'm not real big on salty tastes, but the potato trick does work. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting!!! Thank you! (I don't like salty things at all, so this could help me quite often!)
ReplyDeleteWow, I wish I saw this 2 days ago. I was making beef stew and I was shaking a little salt into it and the lid came off. I was able to scoop most of it out, but this would have helped me immensely. Now I know what to do!
