Saute with Salt

I am a vegetarian. So, my cooking involves only vegetables.

When sauteing chopped onion or any other vegetable, add a small amount of salt. This will help cook the chopped onion or an other vegetable faster.

I am not sure if this can be applied to cooking meat.

Lime Juice Beats Salt

Well, I should actually be cooking now. But I was reminded of this wonderful tip - Lime juice beats Salt!

I am a budding cook and I tend to make mistakes, in fact a lot of them. But recently, a friend suggested that adding lime juice to food not only adds flavour but also helps beat the excess salt in it.

Adding potato to the dish too can help. Potato pieces absorb the excess salt and improve the taste.

Give it a try...
