If the soup is salted, what to do in this case? With a probability of 99% in your life you have at least once overloaded dishes. And most often this happened with the soup. No, you can add salt to absolutely anything, starting with a pancake test and ending with a meringue. So what with the fact that the so-called cakes made from whipped egg whites. It is believed that salted proteins are best whipped. And then, have you never had to grab a sugar bowl instead of a salt shaker in a hurry? If you basically store sugar and salt on different shelves in the kitchen, then honor and praise are to you. And even then, no one can guarantee you that one day you will not be mistaken, and ... but we will not talk about sad things. The hypothetical confusion of sugar with salt is not at all the topic of our conversation today.
And we are talking about how to save the salted soup. And no matter for what reason he turned out to be so. You yourself oversalt it, or one of the assistants decided to season the boiling broth, if your hand with a salt shaker trembled. None of this matters. The result is one - the soup is replenished. What to do?
The first thought that comes to the mind of any person is to sweeten him. In fact: we cool a hot dish, heat a cold one, and excess salt should mask sugar. Do not rush to laugh. Actually, that makes sense. Of course, this does not mean that you need to grab the sugar bowl and begin to throw handfuls of its contents into the pan. Everything is much more complicated. First of all, sand will not help us, we need lump sugar. Take the refined sugar, put it in the soup ladle and lower it into the broth. As soon as it begins to dissolve, immediately remove the soup ladle and throw the half-melted piece into the bin.
It is recommended to do so until the dish is edible. The riskiness of this method is immediately clear. The slightest oversight, and instead of a very salty soup, we get an incomprehensible bittersweet burda.
Therefore, we will not immediately resort to this method, leaving it to the most extreme case. In the meantime, try less radical and safer ways.
So it is. You tried to cook the first dish, but did not calculate the dosage of salt. And, as a result, you have salted soup. What to do? If you cooked a sufficiently thick dish, for example, borsch, then you can safely add a little water to it. Just do not pour it directly from the tap or from a bottle. Water must be hot, otherwise the taste and appearance of the dish will be spoiled. Boil the kettle and dilute your cooking with hot water.
If you do not want to make the first dish too thin, then take a piece of gauze or just a white cloth and pour a little rice on it. A tablespoon will be quite enough. Knot the cloth and place this bag in a pot of boiling soup. Rice absorbs salt perfectly. It is enough to boil it for only 10 minutes, and the salinity of the broth will decrease.
And what if salted soup and the house does not have a gram of rice? You can take an ordinary chicken egg, beat it and pour it into a boiling broth with a thin stream. After the protein absorbs excess salt and hardens, it is simply removed from the pan.
No eggs, no rice, and overcooked soup: what to do? Look for flour or potatoes. You can simply peel the potatoes and put them in the whole pot. Let it boil in your brine. She will also take in salt, and then you can cook something out of it. And with flour you need to do the same as with rice. That is, put in a bag and boil for ten minutes. True, after that your soup will not be transparent, but there's nothing to be done.
