How to Properly Store Meat in the Freezer: A Practical Guide to Our Natural Products
When it comes to preserving fresh meat safely and for a long time, the freezer is a valuable ally. However, it is important to follow some simple rules to ensure that the quality and flavor of the meat remain intact. Our products, being free of preservatives and artificial colorings, require special attention in storage. Here is a guide to make the most of the freezer and keep the meat tasty and natural.
1. Preparing Meat for the Freezer
Before putting the meat in the freezer, it is essential to prepare it correctly to avoid loss of quality:
- Use airtight packaging : Wrap the meat in plastic wrap or place it in freezer-safe food bags. Make sure the packaging is tightly closed to prevent contact with air, which can cause freezer burn and affect the flavor of the meat.
- Portion the meat : Dividing the meat into smaller portions makes freezing easier and allows you to defrost only the amount you need, avoiding waste.
- Clear Labeling : Clearly write the freezing date on each package. Although freezing slows down spoilage, it is best to consume meat within 3-6 months to maintain optimal freshness.
2. Set the Ideal Freezer Temperature
To best preserve meat, your freezer should be set to -18°C or lower. This stops the growth of bacteria and helps preserve the quality and flavor of the meat over time.
3. Defrost Meat Safely
For safe thawing, move meat from the freezer to the refrigerator at least 24 hours before using it. This gradual method allows the meat to thaw evenly, preventing it from reaching unsafe temperatures where bacteria can grow. Avoid thawing meat at room temperature, as this can compromise food safety.
4. Avoid Refreezing Raw Meat
It is best not to refreeze meat once it has been thawed, as this process reduces the quality of the product. When meat is thawed, it releases some of its natural juices, which can affect its texture when re-frozen. If you have thawed more meat than you can use, consider cooking it and then refreezing the cooked product.
5. Why Our Products Are Different
Our products are made with completely natural meat, without the addition of preservatives or artificial colors.
