A woman left people gobsmacked at the amount of salt she used while cooking a ‘traditional’ roast dinner for her husband, with some saying it ‘needs more seasoning’
Cooking videos fill up our social media feeds daily, and you’ll likely want to recreate many recipes you see at some point in the future.
A firm favourite meal for plenty of Brits will be a roast dinner, often served on a Sunday, with all the trimmings – from cauliflower cheese, to stuffing – and of course, lashings of gravy.
But when people saw @cookingkatee’s video, they were left horrified at the way she prepared the meal for her husband after his “15 hour shift”. And some even joked he’d be “going back to work” after seeing what she was plating up.
Kate, who is known for her quirky cooking videos, took an Iceland classic chicken and stuffing roast dinner ready meal out of her freezer, and popped the whole thing in a frying pan.
Carrots were stuck to the generous portion of meat as she slammed it in, followed by the potatoes and then an unholy amount of oil. But it didn’t stop there with the crazy amounts of ingredients, as she added salt to the meal – but it just kept coming, and coming, and coming – until there was white salt piled up high on top of the meal, that had begun to cook in the oil.
She then added pepper as she turned the still frozen meat over, and then after she did this, even more salt was added to the meal.
As the peas began to unfreeze from the meat, she separated them and the carrots, then after a while of the meat bubbling away in the oil, she decided it was time to dish out the meal onto a blue plastic plate.
She plonked on the frozen chicken breast, stuffing and potatoes, before slathering on the oily vegetables which had mixed with the gravy – and looked like a soup.
To finish off the meal, she decided to pour even more salt on top, which left people stressing about how much sodium her partner was going to consume. One concerned viewer asked: “Is your husband alive?”
The NHS shared: “Eating too much salt can cause high blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. It’s easy to have too much salt (or sodium).
“Around three quarters of the salt we eat comes from packaged and everyday foods we buy, such as bread, breakfast cereals, meat products and ready meals. It can also be found in takeaways, restaurant or café meals and fast-food outlets.”
The maximum recommended salt intake per day is “no more than 6g (around 1 teaspoon)”.
“I bet he wish he stayed at work,” someone wrote, with another joking: “Not enough salt, not enough oil, more oil more salt.” A TikToker even said they were going to send this video to “Gordon Ramsay” because it was so good.
Other comments included: “Needs more seasoning”, “Not enough salt that”, “Did he not want salt in it?” and “This looks illegal”.
