How to get rid of the unpleasant smell of meat with improvised means

Every housewife at least once in her life reflected on how to get rid of the unpleasant smell of meat. It is necessary to deal with the problem before the start of the processing process, otherwise the taste of the dish will be definitely ruined. And for this, the first thing you need to determine the cause of the unpleasant darling.

Possible reasons

There are a number of reasons why meat loses its natural flavor. In some cases, it was not originally. This happens when the meat:

• completely rotten;
• a little spoiled;
• lay in the refrigerator in a plastic bag and had an unpleasant odor;
• a rabbit who was feeding incorrectly or was slaughtered illiterate;
• boar pork;
• lamb with a peculiar smell.

A spoiled product in the form of rotten meat will have to be ruthlessly thrown away, since its use, even after heat treatment, will lead to poisoning of the body. In other cases, you can successfully remove this flaw and prepare decent food.

The smell is slightly rotten

If you leave in a warm room even for a short period of time, various microbes and bacteria will gladly get to work, having received a nutrient medium in the form of a delicious meat cut.

The smell appears very quickly. You can remove it by the following methods.

• Soak in cold water with a spoon of vinegar for an hour, then rinse.
• Soak in lemon juice or wine for an hour. If the piece is large, it should be cut into pieces. Then rinse.
• Smudge small pieces in mustard and leave for an hour. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.
• Soak in salt water (there should be plenty of salt), then rinse thoroughly.
• Soak in a weak, barely pink, potassium permanganate solution, then rinse in running water and leave it in cold for 15 minutes.
• Chop onion, garlic in a bowl of meat, add herbs and leave for an hour.

If during this time the desired effect does not occur, the meat can be considered completely spoiled. In addition, if the smell returns during cooking, you should not spare the effort and money spent - you must throw the product away immediately.

Cellophane bag - cause of unrest

If you leave the meat in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, an unpleasant odor cannot be avoided. And the point is not that it has deteriorated, but that the chemical elements of cellophane provoke the appearance of a strange "artificial" aroma.

Refrigerated storage is a delicate matter. Instead of cellophane, there are parchment and paper towels. And only as a second layer it is wise to use cling film to protect the space in the refrigerator from easily perishable product.

If an error has occurred, you can use any of the methods that are suitable for spoiled meat. There are others of a milder effect.

• For 1 liter of water - 2 tablespoons of salt and a piece of charcoal. They will present an original aroma that gives the specific taste of a bonfire, forest, nature. Soak 3-4 hours.
• Broth 1 tbsp. tablespoons of chamomile per 1 liter of water.
• We use any herbs with a strong aroma (basil, cardamom, rosemary, nutmeg, and even better - their mixture) for rubbing and leave for 1 hour.
• Sprinkle small pieces with pomegranate juice, rub and leave for an hour.

In any case, this will help not only to get rid of the unpleasant odor, but also to give a new, unique and very tasty.

Lamb specificity

If not a sheep, but a real ram falls into the hands of the hostess, an unpleasant odor spreads throughout the kitchen.However, this does not mean that the selected dish will be spoiled.

Lambs do not deliver such trouble up to a year. In the future, you need to take some action.

1. Completely cut fat inclusions, which to a greater extent create a problem.
2. Grated with spices, herbs and garlic, small pieces are infused in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
3. Instead, you can boil lamb for a couple of hours with spices, onions and carrots, and then use the finished product for its intended purpose.
4. Any marinade along with garlic and a decent amount of spices in 2 hours will turn a piece of meat into a flavorful workpiece.
5. Leave to soak for several hours in salted water diluted in boiling water adjika, dry mustard, allspice, garlic, and then rinse.
6. Pour cold water, boil, drain the water and repeat the process 3-4 times. With hot water, the smell will go away.

Choose one and the options should be depending on the future method of use.

Fragrant rabbit

If the rabbit is not properly slaughtered or does not eat properly, its meat will have a specific smell and taste. There are several ways specifically for this type of meat.

• Soak in cold water for 10-12 hours. If there is time, it is best to do just that, gaining freedom in future use. The meat will be completely neutral and ready for any processing method.
• Pickle. For this purpose, you can use kefir, olives with tomatoes, a mixture of wine, sour cream and juniper. The meat will be ready in an hour and will acquire a flavoring shade of spices and bases used in the marinade.

Tip

If the rabbit is old enough, its meat can be tough. Using kefir marinade will help soften it.

Boar meat - a challenge to the point

It is best to prevent such a catastrophe by choosing meat more carefully. It is enough to fry a slice of fat with a lighter, and the truth about the state of the goods on the market becomes absolutely clear.

If you are unlucky and the problem is already in the refrigerator or on the cutting table, the only way to get rid of the smell is to soak the meat for 10-12 hours in milk, changing it every 2 hours for fresh. In this case, the meat should be cut into thin slices, without fat. Spices when cooking excess can not be in principle. And even in this case, a strange shade of aroma and taste may remain.

The most reasonable and effective way not to encounter the problem of pleasant smell is prevention. You need to buy fresh meat of even color, elastic, with a pleasant smell. Store in a freezer or refrigerator wrapped in parchment or paper towel soaked in salted water. Relatives will be grateful for a tasty and fragrant dish. The decoration of the table will be a nutritious, healthy and attractive product in every sense - meat.
