What to do if the buckwheat is salty?

Not only cooks of a professional class, but also housewives (as well as owners) tend to cook dishes of higher quality. But not always it turns out, quite often serious errors occur.The most common failure is salted food, even included in folklore. "Nedosol on the table, peresal on the back," - says popular wisdom. Is it all hopeless? We will understand the situation in relation to buckwheat porridge - one of the most popular dishes of Russian cuisine.

The reasons for which buckwheat when cooking turns out to be too salty are diverse. They may be:

• taste disturbance due to illness;
• inattention;
• carelessness;
• poor knowledge of the basics of cooking;
• random push.

And many other circumstances. But there are many reasons, but one problem.

This question is asked by all the hostesses who fall into such an unpleasant situation. Attempting to just put porridge on the table can ruin the reputation or even provoke a scandal. There is such a way to fix the problem:

• salted buckwheat lay in a colander;
• there it is washed under running cold water;
• when it finally drains, the croup is moved to some kind of dish;
• a small amount of boiled water is added to the porridge;
• add a very small portion of butter;
• after that, heat the dish on low heat until the water evaporates and the porridge warms up;
• now you can resume cooking from an interrupted stage.

One thing is to add water to the pot and wait for some time. When the water has absorbed excess salt, it is poured into the sink and continue cooking for a while. But this and the previous techniques are bad because they interfere with the subtle culinary process. The dish will be acceptable, but it’s not good, but good, especially perfect.

Therefore, some cooks offer a different way to save over-salted buckwheat at home. At the same time, she herself does not need to do anything. But it is required to cook at all without salt another dish that is combined with porridge. An example of it is goulash, although it is not necessary to dwell on this version. If you mix everything neatly, excessive salinity disappears. The obvious drawbacks are the struggle not with the cause, but with the effect, the increased expenditure of time, money, food, water and one’s own strength.

Therefore, they often offer the option when only extra time, croup and water are spent. The idea is to increase the amount of porridge and the liquid added to it. However, the feeling of "average" salinity is not always achieved. It is enough that something does not mix up, and then everyone will understand that there are fresh and salted parts. In addition, you will have to postpone the meal, which is not always possible, and the necessary stock of cereals may not be.

Buckwheat can be cooked without salt and separately from the main mass of porridge. Then it is simply added to the pot. Of course, additional utensils are required. But everything will be done as accurately as possible. And this is very important, if it is necessary to correct the consequences of inattention, the second error will not be amenable to elimination.

When the porridge is ready or cereal for the supplement is no longer there, boiling water will help fix the matter. They poured buckwheat. In this form, the dish is cooked for about 2 minutes. Then the water is poured into a sieve.

With all the simplicity of these methods, "the disease is easier to prevent than to cure." There are several recommendations that will allow even under-experienced people in the household to almost eliminate the danger:

• salt is added strictly before the end of cooking, when the volume of water and cereal will not change;
• salt should be only in good light, cooking is not the time to save electricity;
• Be sure to consider additional ingredients that contain salt (especially canned food);
• if taste or smell has disappeared, if colds or other reasons for which these sensations are dulled have developed, it is better to give someone else a try (do not be shy about such requests in a normal situation)
• salt is desirable, scooping the salt with your hand, spoon or even a knife, but not from the salt shaker;
• if the construction of the salt shaker does not allow to do this, you must first check whether it is sealed (so as not to spill a lot at once);
• one cannot be distracted even by “very important calls” and the like.

These recommendations will help to avoid the problem called peresal and to please the home with tasty buckwheat porridge.
