Tips to repair and fix food disasters

Too Salty
For soup and stew, add cut raw potatoes and discard once they have cooked and absorbed the salt. Another remedy is to add a teaspoon each of cider vinegar and sugar. Or simply add sugar. Gradually add them in the following proportions: ½ teaspoon sugar and ½ teaspoon vinegar. Taste and add, taste and add until the dish is just right.
Too Sweet
Add salt. If it is a main dish or vegetable, add a teaspoon of cider vinegar.
Saltiness Or Tartness
Salt counteracts the tartness of vinegar or citrus. If a dish becomes TOO TART, do not discard. Just add another ½ teaspoon salt. If it is TOO SALTY, add more vinegar or lemon juice.
Pale Gravy
Color with a few drops of Kitchen Bouquet. To avoid the problem in the first place, brown the flour well before adding the liquid.
Greasy Gravy
Add a small amount of baking soda if it is quite greasy. |
TOO Salty Gravy
Try adding a little brown sugar. It will overcome the saltiness without sweetening.
Gravy Too Burnt
It's said that a spoonful of peanut butter stirred into burnt gravy will help remove that scorched taste. |

Curry a bit oily and pungent - Take two bread slices , powder them coarsely & add this to the curry and mix well.Bread will absorb all the excess oil and spice. |

Burnt Food - Remove the top portion carefully without stirring and throw away the rest. If any burnt smell remains, place a slice of bread over that food, cover the vessel and leave for five minutes. |
