5 Quick Remedies to Save Common Cooking Disasters

Over spicy food

You can add cream, yoghurt, or milk to your dish to balance the spice if it has grown too hot. 

Excess salty food

The classic fix for a curry or stew that is saltier than you’d anticipated is to add cubed potatoes. The potato’s starch serves like a sponge to soak up all the extra salt. 

Overcooked vegetables

This can be quickly fixed by boiling the vegetables in salted water rather than cold water. Another trick is to immediately place the cooked vegetables in a bowl of icy water.

Over greasy food curry

Add some ice cubes to the curry and stir. However, you must act quickly to complete this remedy. The cubes must be taken out before they melt. 

Prevent eggs from sticking

Is your omelette sticking to the pan? Then try this genius tip to cook eggs without using any oil: simply put some oil on tissue paper and brush your pan.
