Tips & Notes

  • Meat-Buying Tips:
  • Make sure that packaged meat isn't past its "sell-by" date and that there's not much moisture in the packaging.
  • Touch it if possible—it should be firm and not soft.
  • Look for bright red (not gray) meat. Vacuum-packed meat will be darker looking and should turn red as soon as it's exposed to air.
