Enjoy the ride and I both happened to mention this in another thread and I got to thinking, it'd be good to hear what other people do to salvage things on the stove when something you're cooking goes terribly, terribly wrong.
Like, saving what you made in small batches and adding them to other soups/stews/sauces/whatevers.
Or, cook several peeled chunked potatoes into an overly salty soup or stew to absorb some of the salt. (Potatoes can then be used for another purpose).
Or, if meat turns out really tough, mince it really really fine and either add it back to something else like a soup or mix it with sauce and maybe some beans and use it for burrito filling.
Of course chickens are the ultimate last-ditch measure in getting some benefit out of a kitchen disaster
but IME *most* problems, short of severe scorching, seem to be reusable in some form for human consumption 
So what do y'all do?
