Don't Throw Away Wine Corks, Put Them in the Pot, It Will Solve 1 Problem
From today, instead of throwing a wine cork in the bin, put it in a pot and see what happens. Especially if your food is burnt.
TL;DR
- Wine corks can be used to absorb the burnt smell from dishes.
- To save a burnt dish, transfer it to a clean pot, add a wine cork, and simmer.
- The wood is expected to absorb the burnt odor, restoring the dish's original flavor.
- For overly sour dishes, consider adding sweet cabbage, dried plums, sugar, honey, or baking soda.
- Raw potatoes can be added to overly salty soups or dishes to absorb excess salt.
