If the meat is raw without being put in the freezer, the durability it has is only about one or two days. If you don’t cook it right away, then the meat should be put in the freezer to make it last longer.
Meanwhile, meat in a state that has been processed, its shelf life can reach one week.
Tips for Storing Sacrificial Meat so it Lasts
You got the first tip in the previous section, which is to put it in the freezer. But there are several other tips that can be used, as presented in the points below.
1. Do Not Wash
When you want to store, try not to wash the beef or goat. Washing the sacrificial meat can increase the water content in the meat. This can trigger oxidation because there is air entering.
Clean with a cloth or tissue paper to reduce dirt and residual water that sticks.
2. Save in Small Pieces
Keep the sacrificial meat small. After cleaning, cut the sacrificial meat into small pieces. This method can help the freezing process. In addition, small meat also thaws faster when it is ready to be used and saves more space in the freezer.
3. Wrap Meetings
Place the pieces of meat in a plastic or airtight container. Make sure the container is tightly closed, so that no air can enter and affect the condition of the stored meat.
When you are about to consume it, move the meat from the freezer to the bottom of the freezer first so that the defrosting process runs ideally.
