Meat question

[Banded Drake Calls]

If I bought some pork meat (pastor) from our local market tomorrow and kept it on ice, would it be good til Monday?

Depends on how fresh it is when you buy it. Id lean towards yes

Yep

[Banded Drake Calls]

They usually make it fresh each morning

I’d say yes as long as you kept the ice fresh and water drained off

There are a few yes answers up there but I would be sure I know the market and when it was processed before I just went with keeping it on ice.

I do a lot of feeds, safety cooks and golf events with my company. In a few cases, we have to buy on Friday to cook on Monday mornings. I have had bad luck on two events with opening up my coolers on Monday and have a funky smell. At that point, it's off to HEB for a pile of chicken and all hands on deck processing it to be ready to feed.

If you can freeze it, I would do that, take it out on Sunday and thaw in the fridge overnight. I would hate to make someone sick with sketchy meat.

Uhm I wouldn’t trust a Latin meat market, they have way different standards than other places , and way different digestive systems that they are used to bacteria wise
Not worth risk of food poisoning

If they've already marinated it, it may be falling apart by then. I have kept some a few days in the fridge after buying it and it was still good.

if any doubt freeze and then thaw

I’d say your good. I’ll bring the tortillas, cilantro and onion!

Sweet. I'll have fajitas marinated for Sunday and the pastor for Monday. I'll probably freeze it tomorrow night
