Making a Dish Less Salty

RE: Making a Dish Less Salty By Chicklet (67) Profile Blog! Contact Simple solution, Make your own soups, Dishes etc from Scratch and don't add any salt, You really won't notice the missing salt, I have excluded it from all my baking and cooking for yrs, I run a bakery as well and I've had people amazed at how good the food is and NO SALT was ever added! It's really all in our heads when we think we have to add Salt.

It DOES absorb salt, but it also absorbs LIQUID, thus making the remaining liquid just as salty as it was before. You can't take salt out of liquid once it is dissolved. Adding sugar does not reduce the salt, it just makes the dish sweeter. (Maybe if it's sweeter you don't notice the salt as much?) The only way to remedy the situation is to add more liquid and other ingredients, so that the amount of salt is "spread out."

It totally reduces the saltiness; the more you put in the less salty your dish will get.

I don't see how adding a potato could absorb the extra salt -- wouldn't the potatoes already in it do that?

I think Alton Brown on the food channel dispelled the efficacy of a potato to sop up extra salt. My memory could be wrong. I have used a potato before and it never worked that miraculously.

I put a whole potato in to absorb excess salt. It really works well. Even if it is not something that you want a potato in, you can remove the potato just before serving the dish.

Contact If it's soup or stew you can drop in a slice of potato to absorb the excess sodium, most other things i don't know. good luck Posted on 03/02/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
