HELP
by: Anonymous

Staying in a house where one of the ladies brought in chitterlings that were cooked in another residence. She heated them up in the microwave. I've never smelled anything so revolting. How do I get the smell out of the microwave? HELP!

Getting rid of (Chitterling) chitlin smell
by: A lil old school

The way I help eliminate the chitin odor is, I clean and soak them in vinegar, plus the vinegar helps to cut a little of that grease away.

Try cooking chitterlings outside
by: etcetera

Clean, clean, clean is excellent advise. BUT remember chitterlings just smell when they cook. Just to keep smell out of house cook them outside on the grill. Of course in a pot of water with the same ingredients you would normally use, the only difference your cooking outside.

Cut the smell of Chitterlings
by: Diahann

First things First- Please Clean Them and Clean Them and Clean Them--enough said. Cut 4" Celery (2 pieces) and add some carrots (baby carrots). Add this to a 10 lbs portion of Chitterlings. This is to cut the smell. I think, the reason why they can smell so bad is if they are not cleaned well enough.
