From my personal experience, I use additional PEPPER to counter the Salty taste and it works for me. Salt and Pepper seems to act like acid and base, one neutralizes the other- I have never eaten any food that is has too much pepper and salt at the same time, have you? 1 Like |

How to Remove Extra Salt from Food Fresh Lemon Over salty food which does not contain any dairy product can be easily saved by adding few drops of fresh lemon. Lemon has excellent ability of taking out the flavor of the salt without changing the taste of the food. Lemon is indeed a magic ingredient. Add More Base Ingredients Another simple way to remove the harsh flavor of the salt from stocks, sauces soups or stews is by adding extra base ingredients. Cook a small amount of base ingredients separately and add them to your over salty preparation. Adding more base ingredients will definitely help in fixing up the salty disaster. Potato To save an over salty recipe, peel a raw potato and cut it into large size pieces. While the salty stock, sauce, soup or stew is still hot, add raw potato pieces to it. Leave your salty dish aside with raw potatoes for 5 to 10 minutes. The raw potato will absorb tremendous amount of salt. Before serving, do remember to remove the raw potato pieces, right! Such a simple remedy to remove the extra salt, indeed! Alternatively, add raw potato chunks to your salty preparation and cook it for few minutes. The potato will take in the extra salt easily. Potato is really a great recipe saver. Balsamic Vinegar Add a small amount of balsamic vinegar to neutralize the harsh flavor of the salt. But remember to add the balsamic vinegar in small quantity, little-by-little until the perfect flavor is achieved. Sugar or honey A little sugar or honey can also save your salty food. Add a spoon of honey or sugar to balance the salty flavors. Plain Yoghurt or Tomato Adding a little plain yoghurt or a tomato can be helpful to disguise the saltiness, especially from stews, soups and curries.

I must admit that this thread is quite necessary. How is over-salted food normalised? The charcoal method sounds extreme to me, adding water to over salted stew/soup doesn't work and the adding fresh tomatoes option seems plausible for stews. However, when dished food is too salty, what is the remedy? 1 Like |

The simplest and I dare say most effective means is by placing the pot containing the food(while still hot) in a basin of water!!! Works like magic. U might even have to add salt again . Try it! Its simple and effective |
