Accidentally added too much salt? No worries! Try adding a peeled potato to the dish and simmering it for a few minutes. The potato absorbs excess salt, helping to balance the flavors.
If your rice is burnt on the bottom, don’t panic. Remove the unburnt top layer and transfer it to a new pot. Add a bit of water, cover, and let it steam on low heat for a few minutes.
A lumpy sauce can ruin a meal, but it's easy to fix. Simply use an immersion blender to smooth out the lumps. If you don’t have one, transfer the sauce to a regular blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pan.
Overcooked veggies can lose their flavor and texture. To revive them, try sautéing them in a hot pan with a splash of olive oil or butter. This can help reintroduce some crispness and flavor.
If your meat is undercooked, don’t serve it just yet. Return it to the pan or oven and cook it at the appropriate temperature until fully cooked.
Pasta sticking together? Next time, add a bit of oil to the boiling water and stir frequently. If it’s already stuck, toss it with a little sauce or a splash of water in a pan over medium heat to loosen it up.
Spicy dish burning your taste buds? To tone down the heat, stir in some dairy products like sour cream or yogurt, which help neutralize spiciness. Adding a bit of honey or sugar can also balance out the heat if the dish is overly spicy.
