KITCHEN DISASTERS Oh No! What do I do now? If you burn sauce or gravy, pour it into a clean pan, add some sugar to it a little at a time to avoid the final result becoming too sweet - it takes the burnt flavour away.
TOO MUCH SALT! • The recipe for the casserole said a teaspoon of salt but you used a desert spoon by mistake, don't throw it out and starve - peel a potato, cut into medium size pieces and add to the casserole. Simmer and when the potato is soft lift carefully out. The potato should have absorbed a lot of the saltiness.
• Other ways to disguise saltiness is by adding a small can of tomatoes, or a little plain yoghurt, whichever is most suitable for the particular dish involved.
• These remedies also work well on stews, soups and curries. Chatted too long on the telephone and your supper is burnt to the bottom of the pan - don't panic. Don't stir the food as this will mix any burnt pieces into the rest of the food and contaminate it all. Plunge the bottom of the pan into cold water to cool it down and prevent further cooking. Carefully remove as much of the unburnt food as you can and put into a clean pan, being very careful not to include any burnt bits, add a little more liquid continue cooking. If it still tastes burnt the addition of something like Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree, spice or herbs, usually disguises it. YES, BUT NOW WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THE PAN?????
• Firstly remove as much of the burnt food as possible.
• If it is only slightly burnt on the bottom, put some water into the pan and add quite a lot of salt, soak for an hour, then wash in the usual way.
• If it is badly burnt, put some water into the pan, add salt, and bring to the boil and leave to soak for about twelve hours, bring to the boil again. The debris should wipe off. If this is not the case add more salt and bring to the boil again.
• Add hot water to the pan with a used fabric softener sheet from your laundry. Let soak and the burnt crust will lift right off.
Another idea to help loosen burnt foods on saucepans, is to put water in the pot adding a teaspoon of sunlight liquid soap and put to boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Let it rest for about 15 minuntes and rinse off. All burnt part will just drop off.
Narrated by Sayyidina 'Adi bin Hatim RA that he heard the Nabi Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam saying: "Save yourself from Hell-fire even by giving half a date-fruit in charity." [Bukhari]
