Will water dissolve meat

Strong bases, such as NaOH (Lye, caustic soda, etc.), KOH, and LiOH are classic digesters of meat. In a less technical sense, strong acids, such as H2SO4, HCl, HBr and so on can also "dissolve" meat.

ALL OF THESE CHEMICALS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, however. TAKE ALL CAUTIONARY MEASURES WHEN USING>
