None of that is necessary. You need to leave the anchovies you aren't using
in the oil and salt that are preseving them. Don't heat them until you are
using them. These bottles are not cheap, but they will happily sit in the
fridge door for months as you use the anchovies filet by filet, which opened
tins will not.
Remove the amount you need and within moments it will be as you expect it to
be. If cooking with them, toss them into the pan and they will dissolve and
disappear just like any other anchovy.
