My grandmother used to say that liver should always be cleaned very well. For pork liver, it's good to soak it in milk or water with a bit of vinegar for some time to remove any strong smell. Then you can pan-fry it with simple spices. But for any health concerns, a doctor's advice is always primary.

My friend's mom cooks it for their family. She always says to soak it in buttermilk for like 30 mins to get rid of the gamey smell. Then just pan-fry with lots of onions and garlic, and a bit of red chilli powder. Sounds delish!

I've heard pork liver can have a very strong taste. Did anyone else find it difficult to mask the strong flavor? I'm always worried about preparing it wrong and then not being able to eat it.

I'm new to cooking pork liver. How thin should I slice it, and does it need a long cooking time, or is it quick like chicken liver? I'm worried about making it tough.

I remember panicking the first time I cooked pork liver, thinking I'd mess it up! But it's actually quite simple. Just ensure it's fresh, clean it well, and don't overcook it – it can get rubbery quickly. A quick sauté or pan-fry is best. You'll do great!

While I don't personally consume liver, generally for any meat, it's important to ensure it's sourced ethically and cooked thoroughly to avoid any food-borne illnesses. For liver specifically, moderate consumption is often advised due to its high nutrient content, especially vitamin A.
