I oversalted my black bean soup
What can I do? I found out the hard way that ham hocks don't need much added salt!
I've heard of adding a peeled, cut-up potato to soak up the extra salt, but I've never tried it... can you add more liquid and more beans?
I've done a whole peeled potato (not cubed or shredded).
Just submerge it in your soup, and pull it out in a 1/2 hour or so.
The potato deal works. If you don't want potato in your finished soup, just put it in cut in half. But the one time I did this it took a lot longer than half an hour--but by the same token, I put a WAY LOT TOO MUCH salt in.
Many people, including food scientists and authors such as Bob Wolke (*What Einstein Told His Cook*), consider the "add a potato to remove excess salt" tip a kitchen myth of the first rank. For example, see:
re: carswell
It has worked each time i have tried.
- The ivillage article is not infallible, tomato juice does not remove skunk odor that well. De-skunk is much better and some woman's sanitary stuff works even better (at Vet's advice). And they only put the potato in for 15 minutes.
- WWrecipes strikes me as someone who writes while the baby is asleep upstairs, major yawn
- i liked the washington post story, and think that was doen better than the others.
BUT, it seems to work with me, so my sample size of one (statistically insignificant) proves the de-salting correct. FWIW
re: jfood
My experience is that it doesn't work, not that I think individual experiences count for much in proving or disproving this kind of question. I'd be far more inclined to give credence if you or someone else could explain the physical process, the chemistry, behind this magic attraction. What, according to believers, makes potatoes a salt magnet?
re: carswell
I agree that different tastes will lead to different results and the conductivity test is forcing me to re-think. I would love to see a PPM analysis done versus the proxey of the electrical test.
Next question I have once this is solved is why my mother put milk in the water when she boiled ears of corn.
re: carswell
hrm... to me it sounds like a high-concentration/low-concentration thing. if there's a high concentration of salt in the water outside the potato but a low concentration inside, nature seeks an equilibrium, no? i have never tried this method, so i can't say if it works or not, but it sounds sensible to me.
then again, i have seen it kind of work... sometimes if imake soup that has potatoes in it and add salt at the end to adjust, by the next day the soup needs more salt again. i always assumed that it was because the potatoes absorbed the salt overnight. so maybe i have tried it =)
edited to add: it looks like i was half right. after searching for "potato salt osmosis" i found some pages on science class labs. nature does seek to balance the concentrations but not by having salt go into the potato but rather by having water move out of the potato! this is weird, though... why not just add water to the soup then? i guess potato water is probably tastier than plain. this site has a good explanation:
"As you know, the salt solution dehydrates the potato slice by osmosis --
water inside the potato cells diffuses out in an attempt to dilute the
salt solution. Osmotic flow always occurs in the direction that favors
dilution. Rather than the salt entering the cells, water inside flows out
into the salt solution."
re: arifa
actually it isn't so weird... the potato has a semi-permeable membrane. in the case that a membrane is permeable, the solute (the dissolved component, here the salt) can pass through the membrane, and will flow from more concentrated to less concentrated areas. in the case of the potato and its semi-permeable membrane, the salt cannot move across the barrier, so instead the water moves to even things out, and the reverse motion happens where water moves from lower concentrated areas to higher ones to "dilute" as said above :)
(chemistry nerd)
The potato does not work. See above. It's no better than putting a kitchen sponge in your soup. It doesn't *selectively* absorb just the salt -- it absorbs liquid. Some of the potato may dissolve in the soup which may help, but that's because you are on your way to the only real way to fix the soup -- make a small batch without salt and add them together. Or just dilute with some water.
I think a point is being missed in this potato/no potato discussion.
First, the raw, peeled potato should be cut into quarters or eighths so there is more potato surface to absorb the liquid and the flavorings that have dissolved into the liquid. Once the potato and its absorbed liquid have been removed, there will be correspondingly less liquid in the dish. The liquid that remains may indeed have the same salinity as the original, but it will be diluted by replacing with unsalted liquid the liquid that has been removed.
Yes, you can just add more liquid and increase other spices accordingly, but then you will have changed the consistency of the dish and it may be more soupy than what you intended. Or you could make another batch of the same recipe without any salt and add that, also diluting the salinity of the sauce. But that might not be possible or convenient.
In some recipes, a thin soup for instance, you may be able to replace the liquid and other flavorings with no loss in consistency. But in something like a chili, for example, it's very difficult to remove only the liquid. Adding cut up potato is an easy way to accomplish that. The amount of potato you add and the amount of time you cook it depends on the amount of liquid you need to absorb.
re: JoanN
"Once the potato and its absorbed liquid have been removed, there will be correspondingly less liquid in the dish. The liquid that remains may indeed have the same salinity as the original, but it will be diluted by replacing with unsalted liquid the liquid that has been removed."
With all due respect, you could have achieved the same result by simply dipping a measuring cup in the soup and removing some liquid and then adding back a corresponding amount of unsalted liquid.
There is no need for the potato sponge.
Unless the potato somehow magically discerns the components in the liquid and only absorbs the NaCl, it does nothing but remove liquid which, IMO, is more simply and efficiently done mechanically with a cup or by pouring some off. If the dish was thick, like chili, a strainer or colander would be faster and more effective than a potato, IMO.
Editing to add that I believe Harold McGee has also written on this topic, but I'm not sure.
re: C. Hamster
"With all due respect, you could have achieved the same result by simply dipping a measuring cup in the soup and removing some liquid and then adding back a corresponding amount of unsalted liquid."
Yes, you can. And that's exactly what I said. With a thin soup you can do that. With something like a fairly thick chili or stew you cannot.
add some sugar to counteract with the salt,theres not much more you can do with it..especially since beans soak up the flavors around them
I never thought of this as a salt removing or neutralizing method, but I have observed with soups, stews, and chili that the longer you refrigerate them, the less salty they seem. I have no idea why this is the case, but you might want to try refrigerating the black bean soup for a couple of days and then reheating it.
Since the salt isn't going anywhere, I can only conclude that some sort of chemical operation occurs which degrades the salt or surrounds it with starch, making it less noticeable . . . or something. Where's a chemist when you need one?
re: gfr1111
This link explains why potatoes work...
Instead of wondering whether a potato will work, why not just add more black beans! Put your overly salted soup in the fridge. Cook some black beans and add to your salty soup along with whatever else is needed (maybe a bit more onion, garlic, spices). (If there are canned black beans without salt, there's your answer. I always cook beans from scratch, so I don't know.) I think it is better to have some extra soup (which you can freeze) than to screw around experimenting with potatoes!
for no more than a potato or two costs, why not chunk them up and add them and see if it works?
It's cheap, it's dead easy, it won't change the flavor, and if it doesn't work, you've lost 50 cents' worth of potatoes and a half hour to 45 minutes of your time.
If it works...hey, it worked!
(My grandmother taught me this when I was a little girl and it's worked every time I've tried it.)
re: sunshine842
A few times this has happened to me and I added dry rice or pasta to the pot...it will change the end result a bit, but at least it's edible.
The potato thing and adding sugar won't yield the best results. Salt and acidity are recieved on the same part of the palate. Like how drinking wine with dinner makes your food taste less salty. So try adding an acidic element to your soup. Tomatoes, for example. Also you can also add some lemon juice to your soup, not only will it reduce the salt taste but it will open a lot of other flavors up.
re: dontcallmethefword
You beat me too it DCMTFW. Acid is the key and is a important ingredient in my black beans if for no other reason than taste. But it can help with over salting up to a point.
the thread is an old one, and the op's soup sure isn't around anymore, though maybe the op still is! :)
i would do a different approach and strain the liquids out of the soup, and then puree the solids into a dip. dips can have all the same flavor profile as the original soup but get away w being a little salty and strong-flavored.
re: soupkitten
See, I'd take a whole 'nother approach....
I'd get Nancy Crater from Star Trek, aka The Salt Monster. She could attack the salty soup for a a second or so, bringing the soup to near perfection. Then I'd throw the weird salt block I received as a gift out the door. It's just collecting dust anyway.
I'd attach a note to the salt block with Ina's address on it, cause she probably has many and various salts. Enough anyway to appease Nancy Crater while Ina implements her own escape.
re: MplsM ary
One yellow tribble and one blue tribble will soak up anything.
re: sunshine842
No. Use boiled Lutefisk with a dash paprika. Green tribbles would add too much sodium and iodine.
re: MplsM ary
But the bean stock is vegetarian. Also, if you've seen the 1956 "Pod People", movie, it could be very possible the tribbles were soy-based as opposed to carbon-based.
re: soupkitten
I'm still around! It's always funny to see your old threads popping up.
re: soupkitten
This is a great idea... for the soup, I like adding big chunks of avocado (unsalted of course :P)
re: nasv
@ Nasv-- ooh the avocado addition sounds delicious!
@ Aimee-- i'm glad you're still around! i agree that old threads can be fun, even though sometimes i'm like "what did i even say, 3 years ago?"
@M ary-- LMAO! i love your wacky post-- i think maybe it's over my head though and i'm missing a key hilarious element. anyways tyvm for the off the wall humor, i needed that.

The food is fresh - it's different from other 'fast food' places - the staff is friendly and it is very affordable.
Great food and great staff, we love it here!
Service was great and the taste of the food is wonderful.
They are always so friendly and nice here. They even recognize me and my daughter when we return.
LOVE your excellent servers and their helpful recommendations.
Your restaurant is always clean and staff are always looking presentable – keep it up!
A colleague told me about Paramount, but it exceeded my expectations; the food (mixed shawarma plate) was delicious, and the service was friendly and very fast. I only spend a few minutes from ordering to walking out the door. We're only 2 blocks away, I'll definitely recommend your restaurant to co-workers.
The selection of foods is always great and I Truly appreciate how the staff checks up on my meal to make sure everything is okay.
I've been going to the first location when there was only one for many years, it's a family tradition so I tell others to go there and share my culture's food!
Its my favourite restaurant! i dine there at least 2-3 times a week, for lunch/dinner! Everyone is extremely friendly and the food is delicious!
You're a hidden gem. I always get excited when I find good Lebanese food. It's rare.
Everyone in the restaurant is extremely polite. Lebanese food is new to me and I really enjoy it. It's a whole new dining experience for us. The restaurant is very clean.
I love the just baked bread and the fact you can buy good baklava to take home. I am also impressed with how clean the restaurant appears to be. The service is great as well.
I love Paramount, it is my absolute favourite place to get Shawarma plate and I come here multiple times a week when I am visiting London. Before I moved away from London I was here every single week, and now when I come home to visit every one in my family knows right away I go to Paramount before I even go home. It is amazing, I love it.
You take time to make the customer feel at home. Your food is fresh and delicious and the price is very good. You make us want to come back again.
I would definitely recommend it. Because, the food is awesome, Service is excellent and its a fun place to hang out and eat. I would not regret recommending Paramount to anyone. And in face i have recommended a few friends and relatives.
Omg! this was my first visit and the beef shawarma was spectacular! Never had better!

track the flow of funds into and out of the health care system, providing information on payer type (e.g., Medicare, out of pocket) and services purchased (e.g., hospital care, pharmaceuticals) in a series of standardized tables published annually on the CMS website. A typical NHEAs table forms a "sources and uses" matrix, imposing a specific set of accounting principles for who pays and how much, ensuring that all subtotals add up in a consistent manner.
While providing essential information on health care spending trends, the NHEAs have historically revealed little about the output of the sector—what is being bought—in terms that are meaningful for assessing medical care productivity and the impact on population health. The highly aggregated NHEAs data leave gaps that need filling if a number of critical health policy questions are to be resolved. Does an expensive new medical technology provide enough added health benefit to justify its use when compared with less costly alternatives? How do the public and private sectors encourage or limit adoption and diffusion of new technologies? And, more generally, which medical treatments are the most productive in terms of generating improved population health, and which are the least?
With the NHEAs alone, it is not possible to determine whether medical costs are increasing more because of cardiovascular disease treatments or because of cancer prevention activities. It is also largely unknown who is affected, and how, by the spending. Are vulnerable populations benefiting or suffering from current resource allocation strategies? Simply put, health care cost containment strategies in the United States are debated and pursued with inadequate information about what (or on whom) money is being spent (Triplett, 2001; Triplett and Bosworth, 2008). Addressing critical health policy questions requires more disaggregated data. Recognizing this need, there have been strong arguments for integrating cost-of-illness (COI) data into the NHEAs (Thorpe, 1999; Rosen and Cutler, 2007), linking microdata from national expenditure surveys to the macrodata in these accounts.
A similar deficiency limits the value of the medical care information in the NIPAs. Output estimates exist for the medical care sector and subsectors (for example, the ambulatory care subsector), but nowhere in the NIPAs is information presented on the products that the medical care sectors produce. Adding COI estimates to the NHEAs and the NIPAs can provide this critical information. Thus, a central issue in expanding either account of medical care is adding the disaggregated microdata needed to estimate treatment of disease costs.
As discussed in Chapter 2, linking health care spending to the treatment of specific diseases is useful in several respects. It provides a framework for understanding changes in the cost and quantity of health care, and it makes it possible to distinguish the effects of increasing prices for health care from the effects of increasing provision of services. Disease-based accounts also provide useful indicators of the economic burden individual diseases place on society; they can also be used to help identify how health resources are currently allocated, including across different population subgroups (informing questions of

HIGH FIVE/low five
Daily Fantasy can be quite the grind ! Let us do the grinding for you with "High Five/Low Five". Each day, we help put you in the money by presenting you with FIVE of the "top tier" plays, as well as a quick list of FIVE "value plays". Use our picks to help with the tough decisions or make a roster straight from our picks. Thursday's games are led by Cleveland Cavaliers PG Kyrie Irving; for a look at how last night's picks fared scroll to the bottom of the article.
Shake it up !
Point Guard: Kyrie Irving, CLE ($8,100): Uncle Drew was fantastic against the Knicks last time out, totaling 37 points and 11 assists, albeit with no Tyson Chandler patrolling the paint. Nevertheless, lines of this nature have become par for the course versus them, regardless of whether Chandler plays or not. In his last four games against the Knicks, Irving has averaged 32.7 points and seven assists. Look for him to continue that success tonight, and provide the best value among today's top PGs.
Also consider: Stephen Curry, GS ($10,100)
Shooting Guard: Lance Stephenson, IND ($7,800): There's been no stopping this miniature LeBron as of late. Having totaled over 40 FPs in each of his last three games, and in six out of the eight games, there is a definite chance that he and his Pacers teammates avenge their poor performances from their last meeting against Phoenix. The only thing that should stop you from rostering Stephenson tonight is the blowout factor. Blow out or not, I think "Sir Lance-a-little of everything" gets his and gives you yours.
Small Forward: Paul George, IND ($9,100): There's just no denying that George is far and away the top SF play of the night. Not only does Phoenix rank a lowly 23rd against opposing SFs in recent weeks, but all the factors we mentioned with Lance Stephenson are in play here against a Suns team that embarrassed the Pacers on national television not too long ago. Given the blowout factor and his performance of late, George may not reach value on his salary, but he's the only SF on tonight's slate that can guarantee you 30-35 FPs. If you feel you need that, George needs to be in your roster.
Also consider: Luol Deng, CLE ($6,900)
Power Forward: Blake Griffin, LAC ($9,900): Though Melo and his recent hot streak linger, I like Blake in a higher scoring game (212 O/U) with a better matchup against a Warriors team that ranks 29th versus the PF position. The fact that he's topped 40 FPs in seven of his last 10 also bodes well, especially against a team whom he's had success against before. On a short slate, he's my top PF play, though I would not fault anyone for playing Carmelo Anthony.
Center: DeAndre Jordan, LAC ($7,500): Nothing but crickets among the top centers today. That said, with Anderson Varejao's status for tonight still in question, and Tyson Chandler more of a value play, Jordan is the top play if you're looking to spend at C. My advice though, would be to wait and see what happens with Varejao and play either Tyler Zeller or Chandler and spend your scratch at the other positions.
low five:
Point Guard: George Hill, IND ($5,100): With a value threshold of just 25.5 FPs, Hill has a good chance at being at or near that tonight, regardless of whether this game ends up as a blowout or not. Phoenix is ranked 26th against the PG over the past 15 days and last time out against the Suns, Hill was able to post 24.3 FPs in a blowout loss. Add in that he's been right around value in each of the last five games, he's almost a must-play.
Shooting Guard: Tim Hardaway Jr., NY ($3,700): With Iman Shumpert questionable for tonight's game, Hardaway Jr. is definitely in play. He's played close to 30 minutes in each of the last three games and has nearly met or exceeded value in all of them. Monitor the Shumpert situation as game time approaches and jump on Hardaway if the situation warrants it.
Small Forward: J.R. Smith, NY ($5,100): It appears that someone recently screwed J.R.'s head on straight with him having met or exceeded value in five of the past six games. I'm liking his chances against a weak Cleveland defense tonight.
Power Forward: Luis Scola, IND ($3,700): I'm thinking Scola gets some extra run tonight in a blowout and throws up somewhere between the 15-20 FPs — just as he's done in seven of his last 10 games — and on a salary that allows you to spend big elsewhere. If you want to go cheap at one of the PF spots, Scola is the choice.
Center: Tyson Chandler, NY ($5,100)/ Tyler Zeller, CLE ($3,500): If Varejao is out tonight, I love either of these guys. What it really will come down to though, is how well you can spend the difference between their two salaries. If spending the $1,600 elsewhere inspires confidence, go with Zeller. Otherwise, Chandler is probably the better performer of the two tonight.
Thank you and good luck tonight !!!
About Last Night:
Typically, in your cash games on FanDuel.com you're going to want to shoot for a score of approximately 300 FPs, as a score in this range will put you in the money in cash games such as Double Ups and 50/50s on almost any given night. Using this number as our goal, we are able to establish the "value threshold" (VT) or # of FPs a player needs to "reach value" for their salary on any given day in order to achieve the ideal score of 300. If we then compare their VT with their "actual FPs" (AFP) and illustrate that as a %, we are able to grade each player or pick. Just as in winning, 1.000 is optimal.
Mike Conley, MEM ($7,500): VT: 37.5 AFP: 45.6 %: 1.216
Bradley Beal, WAS ($6,800): VT: 34.0 AFP: 28.5 %: .838
LeBron James, MIA ($10,400): VT: 52.0 AFP: 39.1 %: .752
Dirk Nowitzki, DAL ($8,000): VT:40.0 AFP: 60.9 %: 1.523
Dwight Howard, HOU ($8,800): VT: 44.0 AFP: 28.5 %: .648
Overall %: .976
low five:
Jerryd Bayless, BOS ($3,800): VT: 19.0 AFP: 20.3 %: 1.068
Gerald Henderson, CHA ($5,700): VT: 28.5 AFP: 36.1 %: 1.267
Corey Brewer, MIN ($4,800): VT: 24.0 AFP: 9.4 %: .392
Boris Diaw ($3,900): VT: 19.5 AFP: 8.6 %: .441
Jonas Valanciunas, TOR ($5,000): VT: 25.0 AFP: 33.0 %: 1.320
Overall %: .934
Yesterday's HIGH FIVE/low five absolutely killed it. Among the winning combinations was a roster made straight from the HIGH FIVE/low five that had of Mike Conley, Jerryd Bayless, Bradley Beal, Gerald Henderson, Lebron James, Corey Brewer, Dirk Nowitzki, Boris Diaw, and Jonas Valanciunas that scored 281.5 and cashed in EVERY cash game in the one to 10 dollar range, including the Triple Up games. Winning: all day, everyday.

Somebody left a suggestion to post Antigone, daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta from the incestuous Greek tragedy Oedipus. But, Oedipus was a little heavy for a Wednesday morning, wouldn't you say? For those readers who haven't hit Greek mythology in their required high school reading, just you wait—it's awesome. As a compromise for this suggestion, I'm posting Calliope, one of the eight muses. She's the muse of epic poetry and most famous for being the inspiration behind The Odyssey. Well, if you're going to inspire some of the greatest stories of all time…you better have the style to back it up, can I get some Proenza up in here? Yes, yes I can.

Shop Calliope's Look:
Folk tales and Fairy tales aren't what they used to be, I suppose we have Disney to thank for that. The original stories, as I've said time and time again, are for more entertaining. One of my favorites is the tale of Bluebeard. Bluebeard was an enormously wealthy man feared for his ugliness and blue beard and because his wives seemed to all mysteriously disappear. Intent on marrying again, he visited a neighbor to petition for one of their daughters to be his bride. The girls desist but after the younger sister agrees to attend an impressive banquet at his home, she marries him. Shortly after they're married, Bluebeard leaves the castle on business (or something) and gives his new bride all the keys and instructs her to spend as she wishes, entertain as she likes and generally have a good time. Before heading out he tells her not to unlock a room in the dungeon with a certain key. Naturally, the girl can't resist and with her sister is horrified to find the bloodied corpses of his former wives in the room. She drops the key in a pool of blood and in an oh-so-macbeth fashion, the stain will not come off the key. HORROR! HOMEGIRL IS GONNA GET TROLLED. When her husband suddenly returns and finds the tell tale key, he threatens to behead for her insolence but she bargains for time to pray before her death. The sisters lock themselves in the highest room of the tallest tower (as per usual) in an attempt to escape. Sidenote: what is it about the tallest tower that screams "freedom?" Moving on, just before Bluebeard murders the pair, their brothers come in and rescue them in heroic style and then they all live off Bluebeard's money. So, the moral of the story is—don't trust people with beards. Thanks, here's the younger sister, bye.

A couple weeks ago I asked for some suggestions of Asian folklore for Textbook and got tons of responses, so thanks for that. The first one up is Ameonna, a Japanese rain spirit.

So this past weekend I was boning up on my Greek Mythology, you know by watching Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief because I'm 13 and I thought I'd give Persephone a try. Traditionally she is known as queen of Hades but before that she was just a goddess who was chillin. One day she was hanging out with her nymph friends and Hades kidnapped her. TWIST! Meanwhile, back at Chez Olympus, her mother started flipping out and demanded that she be returned. Hades bowed to the gods' will but before she left, Persephone ate some pomegranate seeds. As fate would have it, those who eat or drink in the Underworld must stay there FOREVER. However, Persephone was able to spend one season of the year in Hades and live the rest above. The Greeks believed this to be the reason behind the four season—when Persephone is in Hades, her mother's sadness keeps us in winter. Fun.

Black Widow Solo Movie Goes from Casual Mention to Fake Confirmation
- Written by Jeremy Shane on Thursday, February 13 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
So, recently in an interview with Total Film magazine, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige talked a bit about Black Widow's role in Captain America: Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Thanks to ComicBookMovie, portions of the interview have made it online, even if they don't know how to hotlink their source (you should still hotlink the homepage of the source even if you can't link a specific article guys).
We wanted Cap and really the entire cinematic universe to be very different at the end of Winter Solider than it is at the beginning. Therefore when we meet the Avengers at the top of Age of Ultron, it's a very different landscape than we left them at the end of the film film. Partially that's because we love the rhythm that the comic books have developed - each of the characters appear in their runs, occasionally they get together for a big event or crossover series, they part again, and then they come back together again.
[Black] Widow's part in that is very big. We learn more about her past and learn more about where she came from and how she became in that film. The notion of exploring that even further in her own film would be great, and we have some development work with that.
Now, that last sentence was too much for some to handle, with a "notion of exploration" turning into full-blown confirmation.
Granted, they go on to contradict their own title as they wrap the article, but this is how the circle jerk of rumors gets rolling. Is it something they are considering? Probably -- I'm sure they consider all types of ideas. It is confirmed? No. Is it being worked on? I highly doubt it at this time. Is it even unofficially slotted for phase three? Again, at this time, I doubt it.
UPDATE: Now MTV.com is joining the party, running the same "confirmed" story off the same quote. Stop people. Just stop.
