For salt extraction from a cooked receipe stews greens can you use a sweet potato Or just white potatoes?
I had never thought about using a sweet potato for salt extraction, but I always use a white potato. I think the sweet potato would flavor the foods whereas a white potato would absorb the flavor with the salt. An added note - don't leave the potato cooking until it completely cooks and gets soft or it will re-salt the food.
Do sweet potatoes absorb salt from a meal?
Sweet potatoes do not absorb salt from a meal in the way that a sponge absorbs water. Instead, they can take on some flavor from surrounding ingredients during cooking, but the overall sodium content of the sweet potato itself remains relatively constant. Cooking methods, such as boiling or roasting, can influence the final taste, but the sweet potato will not inherently absorb significant amounts of salt from a dish.
How to extract excess salt from food?
I have read and heard of two different ways; add a little bit of sugar and/or raw potato if cooking. Supposedly the raw potato absorbs some of the salt, you then discard the potato. I don't think either of these methods work very well though.
Why does water absorb salt?
Water "dissolves" salt. Water does not absorb salt.
How do you reduce the salt in a recipe once is it already cooking?
If the recipe calls for boiling, such as soup or stew, you can put in a potato. The potato will absorb the salt, although it will not be an automatic total reducer. Remove the potato and discard. Also, peel the potato.In a baked recipe, I do not have options. Please read your recipe carefully and try to make the changes before cooking.
How do you remove excess salt from cooked rice?
To remove excess salt from cooked rice, you can add a peeled raw potato to the rice and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. The potato will absorb some of the salt. Alternatively, you can also try diluting the salty rice by adding unsalted cooked rice to it.
