Usage Note

Probado is the past participle of probar used as an adjective, meaning demonstrated or verified through evidence or experience. The phrase un método probado means 'a tried-and-tested method'. It can also mean 'tasted' in a culinary context (¿ya has probado el plato?), though in that sense it is more often left as a participle than used as a pure adjective.

"Es un remedio probado y eficaz."
