How do i remove salt from a beef stew?

Answer 1

The problem can be solved but most methods will add something to the taste and consistency.

My best suggestion is to peel and slice up some potatoes.

Put the potatoes into the casserole dish you have been unlucky with.

Potatoes does not contain much salt, and will absorb a lot of salt.

If the casserole dish is 2 liter, and you add 2 kilo of sliced and peeled potatoes, this will remove approximately half the amount of salt. Let it simmer a bit (20 min) and then remove the potato slices.

It is quite effective, but it does not perform miracles. The salt content in the dish will only be halved by this method.

Since potatoes are actually edible, then maybe you would like to try eating your dish with the slices in it :-)

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure that if you add potatoes to the stew they will absorb the salt and the stew will taste less salty.

Answer 3

The meat is cooked but tastes very salty. Can I remove the heavy salt taste?
