Frequently Asked Questions
How long can I keep cooked meat in the fridge?
Cooked meat can typically be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, provided it’s kept in an airtight container or tightly wrapped. Make sure your fridge is set to 4°C or colder. Label containers with the date so you can track freshness. Reheat leftovers thoroughly to at least 75°C before eating. Avoid leaving cooked meat out at room temperature for more than two hours. If you won’t eat it within the recommended time, it’s best to freeze it. Frozen cooked meat can last for 2 to 3 months while still maintaining quality and flavour.
What does marbling mean in meat?
Marbling refers to the small flecks or streaks of fat within a cut of meat, especially noticeable in beef. These fat deposits are found within the muscle rather than on the outer edges and are a key indicator of tenderness, flavour and juiciness. More marbling generally means a more premium cut of meat, as it melts during cooking and enhances the meat’s overall texture and taste. Marbled meat is often preferred for grilling and roasting because of its rich flavour. However, leaner cuts may be chosen for those watching fat intake, so it depends on cooking style and dietary preference.
How do I know when meat is fully cooked?
The most reliable way to check if meat is cooked is by using a meat thermometer. Each type of meat has a recommended internal temperature to ensure safety. For example, poultry should reach 75°C, beef and lamb steaks around 63°C (medium rare) to 77°C (well done), and pork to at least 70°C. Visually, cooked meat often changes colour, but this alone isn’t enough to guarantee it’s safe to eat. Juices should run clear in poultry, and there should be no pink inside minced meat. Always avoid guessing — a thermometer ensures the right balance of safety and ideal doneness.
