What can you do if you over salt something?

Answer 1

With some foods, such as cakes, breads and puddings, you can't.

If the food is rinseable, such as rice or beans, you can rinse it under running water and then reheat it.

If it is a solid food that has absorbed salt, such as meat, soaking in an ample amount of cold water for a half an hour, pouring off the water, and repeating the process until the food is no longer too salty can work sometimes.

Answer 2

Limiting salt in your body is a function of limiting the amount of sodium ingested via drinking and eating, increasing perspiration (sweating) and being aware of the sodium content of everything you swallow...including certain medications and over the counter products.

Answer 3

That depends upon what the salt is mixed with but as salt is very soluble in water if the other material is not soluble you could simply add the mixture to water and the salt would dissolve. The rest of the mixture can them be separated by passing it through a filter.

Answer 4

If you've oversalted a dish, you can try diluting the saltiness by adding more unsalted ingredients like vegetables, grains, beans, or potatoes. Another option is to balance out the salt with acidity (lemon juice, vinegar) or sweetness (sugar, honey). Taste as you go to avoid overcompensating.

Answer 5

To take take salt out of salt water you have to boil it, then refrigerate it till its the right temperature to drink.
