Responsa for Chullin 221:13
ומנו רב בר שבא אמר להו רב נחמן
Papa once suggested to Raba that the vinegar [in which the liver was dipped] should be forbidden, but Raba answered him thus: If the vinegar is forbidden then it [the liver] too should be forbidden, for just as it exudes [its juice into the vinegar] it will later on absorb it.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In truth, however, the effect of the vinegar is to harden the liver and close up its pores so that nothing at all can exude from it; this being so, the vinegar is also permitted. tehka');"><sup>8</sup></span>
Teshuvot Maharam
You have rendered unfit for eating purposes meat that was not rinsed before it was salted and cooked. Your decision in this case, however, is not correct since the talmudic law requiring that meat be rinsed before salting is a requirement previous to the act (לכתחלה) which law does not render unfit for eating purposes meat that was already salted without a previous rinsing (בדיעבד).
