MEASURING SALT

[Tamara Bengesai]

I measure my salt with my eyes. I just put according to what I think is enough.

Salt is one key ingredient in any meal and food without it is unpalatable. However, too much salt and you've spoilt the food. Too little and the food has no taste. How do you measure salt to make sure it is enough and moderate ?

If it’s a sauce or something I’ll add it slowly whilst trying it. With others I just go with experience and best estimation, it mostly works

[Donna Walker]

I have never measured salt, and I know that I use way too much of it!  :lol: I use the pink Himalayan salt though. I've heard that it is healthier.

[Shane Carter]

I do it like my mum. I measure with my brain. After cooking for a while, you get familiar with the measurements you will be applying.

[Favour Alade Boluwatife]

I add salt to my food little by little and I taste. Because I hate excess salt in food and I'm always careful when adding salt to my food

[Liza Chulukhadze]

I always add less salt than needed, I do a taste test too.

[Runan]

Honestly, it comes out of experience in cooking. I don't really measure. I just add. But if you are unsure, add less and pick up a spoon and take the food out a bit and taste it. Keep adding and then tasting it until you get it right.

I always use Himalayan Sea salt as it is healthier than regular table salt. I never measure the salt when making a recipe that I've made many times as I just know how much the right amount is for my taste by experience. If there's not enough salt, I can always add more if needed. When making a new recipe, I always measure precisely according to the recipe. After tasting the food, I decide whether it is too little or too much salt for me.

I have been cookong on and off for years and I still struggle to measure the salt for a meal. I usually use less salt and add it at the end.

[Zanne Crystle]

The only time I measure salt is when I'm baking something, other than that I just eyeball it and it's usually fine.

[Varisha Khanna]

I add slat by instinct honestly. I always make sure to taste as I am cooking and add more salt if needed.

[Judy Burr]

My mother told me to use HALF of the salt that is listed in the cookbook. I have always done that. You can ruin something you are making if there is too much salt!

I just add salt and then I try. If you add too much salt, you can always add potatoes to help soak up some of the salt. But as of lately, I haven’t been cooking with much salt as I add lemon juice as a healthier option. Obviously not every dish can have lemon juice, but I find I love it.

You should add small amounts at a time. If the recipe has a set amount, measure it. Also, measure the amount you use each time you make it.
