Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Disagree on low sodium broth. It may seem redundant to use low sodium broth and then add salt, but the reason low sodium is recommended isn't because you're not supposed to salt stuff, it's because a cook can easily control the appropriate amount of salt, but if you add broth with a lot of it you're introducing another variable that you can't control as easily, especially if you want to add more broth later after you've already gotten it salted correctly.

So you can use full salt broth but most "trustworthy" sources recommend low sodium for a reason, and assume you know the basic premise of salting your food without complicating the process.

Can I add more salt? Yes, during cooking or at the table = food is edible

Can I remove too much salt? No, you're stuck with it and possibly ruined your food unless you add a ton more stuff into the pot to try and balance the salt content
