Did u realise how our mothers cook? They don't need to measure the salt, they just scoop it on their palms and apply it. And if u taste it, it will be okay. Our Indomie generation wives don't know that secret

This is nothing but the truth

Lolzzzz...

As if potato is easily found. OK, I carry milk and pour it in over salted egusi soup right?

What kind of potatoes, Irish or sweet?

You haven't cook oversalted beans before? Try it today and see that, there is nothing you add that can change it.

ceejay80s:
this thread is for women na!!!

Really? Is cooking gender specific?
Abeg let us single boys learn in peace ohh.

Major are just hapi 4 d thread cos its all abt dem....indomie generations

Add sugar. It works like magic.

Is that your sister?

Don't tell me you don't know she's your sister

Yam works to de-salt food as well. You can use it the way that potato was recommended.
Cooking is a beautiful art but sometimes we make mistakes.

To avoid excess salt, put as little as possible, after all salt is not very healthy to the body.

Nice write up!

But the best solutions is to avoid getting a meal oversalted.

Does this solutions for oversalted meal apply to over pepperish meal?

There are some of us that prepare YORUBA stew or soup which is known for TOO MUCH PEPPER

How do one deppepperize it? Ignore my english

Palmoil can help tame the hotness of the pepper. That why Yoruba's use more vegetable oil for our stew

Orokita:
Best solution is putting the theory of osmosis and diffusion into use..... Wait for it......

Put water in a bigger bowl and sit the salty pot of food in the water for 10-15minutes...... Ensure the pot is still hot. Thank me later

lol....shey pot na semipermeable nih

druxy:
lol....shey pot na semipermeable nih

I wonder

Add yam

Osmosis will occur; the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides to a region of lower concentration, thereby reducing the salt content in the food and increasing the salt content in the yam.

It's all mastery over a long period of time. I can't also remember the last time I over salted my food. And I don't taste the saltiness while cooking. I just scoop the quantity I know is OK and dats all

I tried the "addition of milk" my brother the food caused constipation o" ma belle big small, but I've handled it. I'm a guy and I love cooking like crazy, it doesn't hurt to try out things like this because you stand to gain more knowledge and insight

I thought milk was a laxative.

Hot milk is actually a laxative but i think it worked otherwise because of the different mixture of ingredients in the "over salted" meal I prepared. Every individual has unique body systems sha

one of the best methods is adding sugar to it.... yes it works very well...!!! Some days ago, hubby asked me to prepare vegetable soup for him... I was already tired when he came and I complained a little but later decided to help... then I added salt and Maggie and before I said jack, salt don catch am... I began to sweat because he will think I deliberately did it because I reluctantly agreed to cook.. ran to my neighbor's house for potato and couldn't get any... then I remembered reading about sugar.. I quickly googled it and decided to give it a try and voilà!!! the taste balanced immediately...!

Why will you even over salt my food in the first place?
Didn't your mama teach you how to cook?

Maggi contains insanely high and unhealthy amounts of salt. If you use it, avoid adding extra salt.

lol. but u can't fix some... it will be better to just waste it. for instance it will require 4eggs to fix 2egg try it and confirm.

Next time just add leaf vegetables.

Add sugar. The Oyinbos add sugar to most of their meals.
I had an experience, I made Turkey, potato corn soup for a friend and it was salt, I decided to add soup and it was very good and he really enjoyed it.

Franky826:

Tried this last year, I added as much as I can but it didn't kill the salty taste. The pumpkin leafs ended up tasting saltier at the end
