We\u2019ve all been there: Whether you forgot you already salted a dish and added the salt again or your hand slipped and you just included too much, the result is the same. Your soup, stew, meat, side, or sauce is now too salty. So, how can you fix it so you can still serve the dish? We\u2019re sharing four time-honored ways to bring the balance back\u2014and our best tips to help you season your food properly every time.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

How to Neutralize Salt in Food<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Try one of these methods for fixing oversalted food:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

1. Add condiments.<\/strong>\u00a0With casseroles, stews, chili, or other similar dishes, you can use condiments like sour cream, avocado, ricotta cheese, and others to fix salty food. The creaminess in these condiments helps to dilute the salt slightly and disperse the salt more evenly on your palate.<\/p>\n

2. Add an acid.<\/strong>\u00a0You can add lemon juice, lime juice, or apple cider vinegar to salty food to help neutralize the saltiness. A tomato product, such as tomato sauce or tomato paste, will also work since tomatoes are acidic.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

3. Add dairy.<\/strong>\u00a0If it will complement the recipe\u2014for example, a cream sauce\u2014you can add more heavy cream, whole milk, or another type of dairy to neutralize the salty flavor in a dish. Dairy contains sugar, which helps to cut down the taste of salt. It coats the inside of your mouth, creating something of a barrier against the salt. Non-dairy milks, such as oat milk or coconut milk, can work similarly.<\/p>\n

4. Add raw potatoes.<\/strong>\u00a0One of the most common ways of fixing overly salty food is to add potatoes. This trick works well for soups, stews, and other similar dishes. Simply add a diced raw potato to the dish\u2014as it cooks, the potato will absorb some of the liquid, including the extra salt.<\/p>\n

5. Add sugar.<\/strong>\u00a0Try incorporating a pinch of sugar (white sugar or brown sugar) or a sweetener like maple syrup to counteract saltiness. Sweet and salty is a classic flavor combination because of sugar\u2019s ability to balance out the saltiness in food<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

How to Preventing Oversalted Food<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Foods can go from perfectly salted to oversalted quickly. Here are a few tips to prevent you from over-salting food while you cook:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

1. Follow the recipe instructions.<\/strong>\u00a0If a recipe calls for low-sodium ingredients, such as low-sodium soy sauce or unsalted broth, make sure to use those specific ingredients. Otherwise, if you use the salted versions and still add the amount of salt the recipe calls for, the end result will be overly salty.<\/p>\n

2. Measure the salt carefully.<\/strong>\u00a0Many home cooks become confident in cooking, to the point where measuring salt becomes an afterthought. This works some of the time, but other times can cause a salty dish. Avoid using a salt shaker to just shake salt into a dish or eyeballing a pinch of salt to replace a proper measurement if you want to ensure your dish has just the right amount of salt.<\/p>\n

3. Use the right salt.<\/strong>\u00a0Table salt, sea salt, and Kosher salt each have different salinity levels. If a recipe calls for one type of salt, you should use that specific salt or research conversion amounts to ensure the final dish isn\u2019t overly salty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
