<human>:  Can I cook the smell of rot out of rotten meat?
<bot>: Cooking meat will usually kill off the bacteria that cause spoilage. However as the meat cooks, there will be a release of liquid, which can make the odors more intense. You can try lightly cooking the meat to destroy any bacteria, then simmering it with some aromatics like onions and carrots along with plenty of water to make a flavorful broth. You can then remove the meat and reserve the broth for a soup or sauce. This way you will get rid of the bad smell and make a tasty meal.
