Meals that become too salty due to a slip of the hand or another reason can sometimes be too salty to eat. In such a case, if you don't want the food to go to waste and be thrown away, you have the chance to balance the salt of the food with small tips. It is possible to save your meal with ingredients found in your home such as Vinegar, Milk, Potato, Cube Sugar, and Yogurt.
Consuming excessive salt is extremely harmful to our health and is the source of many health problems in the long run. If your food is too salty, we offer you alternative solutions to bring it back to an edible consistency. You can balance the salt of the dish by adding some ingredients to the pot. Here are Besler Catering’s solutions to make your job easier in the kitchen.
Potato / Eggplant
If you have a stew/dish with sauce that is too salty, it is possible to balance the salt ratio with potatoes or eggplants. Peel 1 eggplant or potato, divide it into four parts, and throw it into the pot. These vegetables will absorb the salt in the food and balance the salt level of your meal. You can remove the eggplant or potato from the pot after 10 to 15 minutes, or leave it in the pot if you think it suits your dish.
Granulated Sugar
If you have used too much salt in your pilaf or olive oil dishes, the best method for you might be granulated sugar. What you need to do is add as much granulated sugar as the salt you added. The taste of salt and sugar will neutralize each other.
Milk
If your soup is too salty, one of the ideal methods might be adding milk. Adding water is commonly used to balance salt in soups, but this time the taste of the soup is also lost. Milk allows you to reduce the salt density without spoiling the taste of your soup. But the important point is not to add the milk directly to the soup... You should mix a ladle of your soup with the milk in a bowl and then add it. Otherwise, the milk will curdle, and you cannot reach the taste you desire.
Lemon Juice / Vinegar
Vinegar and lemon juice provide a balance in the alkali density of salt thanks to their acidic structures. Adding about 3-4 drops of lemon juice or a tablespoon of vinegar to your overly salty food is also among the rescue methods for your meal.
Yogurt
You can add yogurt to your soup or dishes that are too salty. In tarhana or vegetable soups, adding a spoonful of yogurt into the pot and mixing will bring you to the taste and consistency you desire. For dishes, just like in the milk example, a ladle of the dish's juice is mixed with yogurt in a separate bowl first. Then it is added to the dish and mixed.
