Most effective ways of storing meat
Those who are in the food business, especially those serving non-vegetarian food have an additional responsibility on their hands. Storing meat, freezing it and at the same time keeping it fresh can be a challenge. With industrial freezers available however this task has become a lot easier. Restaurants and food truck owners either have to regularly buy meat to be made into delicious dishes or they must buy in bulk and deep freeze it so that it lasts them at least a few months. Most business owners choose the latter. This is because buying meat for commercial purposes every day or every week is quite a time taking task. Secondly, if they buy in retail and not in bulk (wholesale), they end up paying exorbitant amounts which will eventually affect their returns.
However, when storing meats at home we may have a number of questions such as how to store raw meat in fridge? How to store meat in a freezer, what are the challenges while storing beef, how to you procure and preserve Halal frozen food? Let’s try to find some answers below.
In order to freeze pre-cut meats, the meat is wrapped as tightly as possible in a freezer paper or a plastic wrap. Make sure there is no space between the meat and the plastic wrapping. After this, another layer of aluminium foil is used to wrap the meat so that it does not leak any of the juices outside and contaminate other foods in the freezer. You can also use a zip-lock bag instead of the aluminium. Once completely sealed, this meat can be preserved up to three months. While thawing make sure to use a vessel to collect the water as it may contaminate other foods. Also, ensure you store the wrapped up meats at the bottom of the refrigerator or at the bottom of the freezer so that the liquid does not drip into other foods. Since this is un-marinated meat these are some of the precautions that need to be taken. Proper packing will ensure the meat is fresh for a long time and does not get a freezer burn. The larger the cuts of meat, the longer they will be durable in the freezer.
