Don’t Wash the Pork Right After Buying, Do This to Keep It Fresh for a Month

Step 1: When bringing home pork, avoid washing it immediately. Instead, divide the meat into small portions and only clean the portion you will use right away. The rest can be dried with a paper towel. The most important thing is not to wash the meat, as this can remove the layer of fat on the surface, leading to quick spoilage. Step 2: Use a knife to cut the meat into small pieces, preferably cutting the amount you need for each cooking session. Avoid putting all the meat in the freezer, because after thawing, if you need to cook and refreeze multiple times, it can create favorable conditions for bacterial growth and make the meat lose quality and spoil quickly. Step 3: Disinfect the pork by brushing a layer of white wine evenly on the surface of the meat. Don’t worry, the white wine won’t affect the meat, just a thin layer and after thawing and preparing, you can rinse the meat to completely remove the wine smell.

Should you eat or discard the fat on chicken belly?

In rural areas, chickens are typically fed with grains (corn, millet, rice…) so the meat is very firm, rich in fat and carotene, which creates the shiny yellow color of the chicken fat in the stomach. In general, only naturally raised chickens in gardens or mountains have fat deposits in their stomachs, artificially raised chickens in farms do not have them. This can be explained by two reasons: – The feed for farm chickens is generally high in protein, low in fat, mainly for rapid growth. – The growth cycle of farm chickens is very short, usually around 42 days, so it is difficult for them to accumulate fat in their stomachs. Should you eat chicken fat or discard it? Like pork fat, chicken fat is not only fragrant but also contains a lot of protein, fat and other nutrients. Chicken fat cannot be eaten directly, but must be refined into liquid fat before consumption. Cut the chicken fat into small pieces and put them in a pot, add minced purple onion and ginger, heat it to melt

If the fish is stored above 60 degrees after being caught, the fresh fish can release toxin, a deadly toxin that cannot be destroyed by cooking. 4.
