Over - salting, what to do?

You were cooking, and while putting salt on the food, the lid of salt bottle went off. You now accidentally over-salted a dish while it's still cooking.

What can you do?

1. You can drop in a peeled potato-it absorbs the excess salt for an instant "fix me up."

2. If the salt is too much - add more water, drain it by half, and add peeled potato to absorbs the excess salt.

That is it.
