Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Dear Sheila, Soak the pig kidneys in enough water to cover along with 2 tablespoons of salt overnight. Even if they are not soaked I don't believe there is a pee taste, but they sure can smell while cooking if they are not soaked. LOL!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 I love kidneys, fried with bacon - yummy! I also like them in steak and kidney pie. I would say that they really don't taste of pee when fried, and I wouldn't bother to soak if one is going to cook them that way. However, they DO taste a bit pee-like in the S & K pies that I've sampled. Cheers, , and Sheba (who like their kidneys RAW!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Thanks to everyone who replied to my question about soaking the pork kidneys. Now I feel educated enough to give them a try.
