Watched a line cook save a burnt pan at a diner in Pittsburgh with a pinch of salt
Dude had a bechamel splitting and scorched on the flat top, he threw in a handful of kosher salt and stirred it straight, saved the whole batch. Anyone else got a stupid simple trick that bails you out when everything is going sideways mid-service?

Ha! Meanwhile I'm over here burning garlic for the third time this month and my big rescue move is just standing there saying sorry to the pan. Salt trick is a good one though, the coarse stuff soaks up the burnt bits and pulls the grease out of the mess. My only move that ever works is a splash of cold water into a scorched pot to lift the crust, but that's not exactly genius level stuff. Honestly my best save is just having a backup batch ready because I know I'll screw the first one up.
