Avoid keeping meat anywhere at room temperature and above. There is a few types of method used to extend its freshness. Just make sure that the meats you purchased are of good quality, fresh, and in good condition. (<a href=\"https:\/\/3thanwong.com\/tips-cooking-meats\/\">Learn about cooking meat here<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h2>Storing Meat in Refrigerator\/Chiller<\/h2>\n<p>Generally, a temperature that falls to 40 \u00a0<strong>\u00b0F<\/strong> or below will slow down the growth of bacteria. Take note, it does not stop the growth of bacterial. In a common household, there will be a mixture of greens, meats, poultry, etc kept in the same fridge. If all are not kept properly, this would lead to cross-contamination. Hence, as a prevention, it is recommended that the meat you purchase from your local butcher, pat dry with a paper towel. Use a cling wrap to wrap it up or simply keep in a container before storing in the refrigerator. The method will keep the meat fresh for up to 2 days.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Inline Ads&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.4&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.4&#8243;][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.4&#8243;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.4&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     style=&#8221;display:block; text-align:center;&#8221;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     data-ad-layout=&#8221;in-article&#8221;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     data-ad-format=&#8221;fluid&#8221;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     data-ad-client=&#8221;ca-pub-4912741701448662&#8243;<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     data-ad-slot=&#8221;6755995054&#8243;><\/ins><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><script><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><\/script>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.4&#8243;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.9&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.9&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Smoking Meat<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_9452\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9452\" class=\"wp-image-9452 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/3thanwong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/smoked-meat.jpg\" alt=\"smoked meat\" width=\"610\" height=\"458\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/3thanwong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/smoked-meat.jpg 610w, https:\/\/3thanwong.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/smoked-meat-480x360.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 610px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 610px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 610\/458;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9452\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source : Seriouseats<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This method would dry the meat of its moist, hence removing the important factor which promotes the growth of bacteria and gives an end result of darker color and smoky flavor.
