MEASURING SALT

[Shillah Andeso]

I guess am also a natural here and I just do it. I like salty food and sometimes my family complains that i might be feeding them too much salt.

[Hubre De Klerk]

Well, I might like salt a bit too much - I sprinkle salt with my free hand until I get that tickle in the back of my neck telling me "that's seriously more than enough!"

If you do by chance throw in too much, I have learned that putting potatoes in the dish (where applicable) can reduce the salt significantly!

[Ann Njeri 10]

Nope, just keep adding and tasting till it's enough.

[Kirimi254]

Never thought of how to measure salt. I just sprinkle the salt randomly and more often than not am on point

[LS Daniyal]

I don't measure salt, I just eyeball it. But my personal rule is to use less salt than more salt. Funny, I like bland food, tasting the ingredient it self. Also for health reasons.

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 ?

We just measure it with our fingers. I do not know how we know when salt is enough but we no matter how big the pot of food is.

Salt- experimental ingredient. Hence in all recipes they say - salt as per your taste. You add it, not satisfied just add some more over the dish.

[Ilagha Success]

Where am from we don't measure salt, we just keep adding till our gut says it's enough and it usually turns out great.

[Melissa Best]

Start small and then add with taste! Overtime you will come to understand the amounts you need for various meals instead of needing to measure or constantly test.
If it's something you can't necessarily sample, like raw meat, trust what the recipe says and then make a note while you're eating if something tasted off.

I am really poor at measuring salt in food. Sometimes it's accurate others in accurate.

I do not follow any measurement technique in terms of add salt to food. most times, i let my instincts and tongue do their job.

[Jakub Bystrowski]

My mother uses her instinct, because she has done many times it bcomes second nature to her. I do the same.

[Jesse Shon Voyamba]

I don't know how people enjoy putting salt in their meals. It is something I can never wrap my head around because I don't use salt to cook.

[Ma Leonarda Castañares]

The first time I cooked a recipe, i didn’t include any salt. Now i regret it, so i will definitely sprinkle some of it to my dish, next time

[Sonia_Gonzalez]

I do not like salt that much, but I never measure it either, I just sprinkle it and hope for the best. So far I have never added too much salt, but a couple of times I have needed to correct and add more. I use more pepper than salt for seasoning.
