Salt is Your Friend

Yummy for the tummy; but salt is actually a sweetener and brings out flavor in foods. If you use too much it overwhelms the taste buds and spoils the flavor of the food.

To remedy this you can add small amounts of sugar, tasting as you add to get the desired flavor. But this is only good in over salted soups, stews and gravies.

If you over-salt a steak you can remove the salt with a damp napkin and try another bite to test. If at home, you can simply wash off the salt under the tap and quick fry the steak on both sides, just enough to add some of the flavor from the drippings or flame from the broiler and then re-salting to the desired taste.
