If you can smell the salt, you might be using too much.

Cause it draws out the moisture

Oops I had been adding sugar.

You actually cook onions because they already contain a lot of sugar…

Honestly, salt is my secret ingredient. Way more than anyone else is brave enough to put in, but it makes things delicious.

Growing up my mom would tend to oversalt the food she cooked, which lead to me thinking most normal food tastes bland without more salt
Dave@lemmy.nz 1 hour ago
Who told you she over salted it, the people making the bland food? 😅

I only use the LD50 but that's mostly to stop people from getting seconds.
Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Not that it matters at that point but is it scaled to one LD50 per serving or nah?

It wouldn’t work well if it wasn’t.

I started cooking for elderly people and I’m not allowed to use salt at all. But I’ll see them dumping salt on it at the table.
Bruhh@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
Yup. It’s always what one considers too much plus one more shake to season perfectly…but that still doesn’t stop me from under seasoning when cooking new dishes. Can always salt later.
Dave@lemmy.nz 11 hours ago
Taste as you go!
Though I have definitely been caught out by salting it perfectly then it reduces and is then too salty.

I have so many sauces like this, works for many dishes. E.g. soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, chili / ginger. Fat from whatever is sautéing rn
