Want to bring your cooking up to the level of professional chefs? It doesn’t mean never making mistakes— it means learning how to fix them! One of the most common and easily made mistakes is over-salting food, but it’s just as easy to balance it out. GeoBeats shows us the tricks!

Did you catch all those tips? Just in case:

• Add some lemon juice to balance the salt. This trick works especially well with sauces!
• Cut up some potatoes and add them to your dish – especially soups – to absorb the salt.
• If you over-salt one element of the dish, don’t add any salt to the other elements.
• If you over-salt meat, use the meat to salt the other elements of the dish. For example, cut up the meat into cubes and add it to a dish of potatoes and broccoli.
