 So there are several ways to store your meat in the fridge and we're going to kind of go from what is ideal in an unusually perfect scenario to what I do and what I've personally done in the past and I'm going to try to cover every single possible way you could do this on the carnivore diet. So ideal circumstance is you get the animal freshly slaughtered, you bring it home, you cut it up into pieces and if you want to store that you could hang it in the fridge, you could put it on a rack in the fridge like this or you could wrap it in parchment paper. That avoids any negative things of plastic wrap or paper towel or you know just any negative connotations associated with plastic. The cons of that is it dries out a little bit, you need a dedicated meat refrigerator. It needs to be super cold like 33-34 degrees as cold as possible. So if you do have whole cuts and you have a dedicated meat fridge then your best bet just keep it in the fridge on a rack super cold whether you wrap it in parchment paper doesn't really matter. It will dry out a little bit on the outside but that's you know if you cook it that doesn't matter and you could also just wet it a little bit when you go to eat it with some water. So now let me show you what I actually do in most cases. So this is a rib eye primal and this is wrapped in paper towel. I did this yesterday. What this does is it dries out the surface, it forms a very flush tight fit and the only way you will get fresher than this is if you use a cryo bag and even then this forms like the tightest seal possible and then what I do is I just I take it out, I cut through the paper towel, I cut off the steak that I want and then and then I just put the paper towel back on and put this back in the fridge. This is easy in a sense you don't have to keep rewrapping it in plastic, you don't have to keep wasting resources, it keeps it super duper fresh. If the paper towel sticks you just wet it and let it sit for a minute and then take the paper towel off. If you have something small that's chopped up that fits in a bowl of steak tartare, liver, I don't know. You put it in a bowl, you put plastic wrap on top and you press down very flush. Again you don't have to put the plastic wrap on top if you're afraid of plastic but you can definitely it's definitely going to dry out on the top and it will again you need a dedicated meat fridge so it doesn't pick up flavors or give flavors to other foods. Here's the third way of doing it. So I took a steak, I wrapped it up super duper tight in plastic wrap and then I put it in a plastic bag. This is how I would freeze my meat and again you could also use parchment paper to me that's fine. Parchment paper is the alternative if you're afraid of plastic. With plastic it's easier to just get a really tight seal on it as well as a little bit easier to fold it up. This is how I throw things out in the fridge overnight. So I took them out like I had some beef fat wrapped in plastic here and then I had some beef testicles wrapped in plastic and I just put it on a dish in the fridge, sits overnight, it's nice and soft now it's thawed out. I'll try to go through this within a few days. After I eat this you know I'll put the beef out just on a plate in the fridge and I'll wrap a little bit of plastic wrap over the plate. That's not necessarily touching the beef fat just to keep you know other flavors from getting on it, keep flies off of it, things like that. These were my steak leftovers from the night before. What I would either do is you know I just wrap it in plastic completely on top. Sometimes honestly I just drape a paper towel over it and leave it on the counter or you can just put it on a bowl back in the fridge. That's really what I like doing with leftovers. The best way just plastic wrap over so the plastic doesn't touch the meat but it keeps any flies or any kind of like smells from getting on it. Here I have some salmon roe that came vacuum sealed. The reason I am showing this is because this is how we get a lot of our food. If you know most of the time your food is going to come in plastic unless you're getting it directly from the slaughterhouse. So you're trying to avoid package again in plastic but chances are it's touched plastic at some point unless as I said you're doing it yourself. Eggs can go if you buy eggs in the supermarket and they're refrigerated they go back in the fridge if from a farm they can be you know kept out on the counter. So the eggs will last maybe I mean if you get them straight from the farm eggs are good for probably like a month or two and that depends on your histamine tolerance and you guys want to google histamine tolerance that's why we're talking about how long this meat lasts. And just to show my freezer you know and a lot of times I don't necessarily get a tight seal like here I have some lamb heads that are just in a bag that are frozen that then they'll try to use within a week or two. Same thing with marabones, marabones that just keep in a bag. Here I have some more beef fat and the beef testicles just wrapped really tight in plastic. So this is my garage this is my dedicated meat fridge and I'm not using it yet because I haven't bought a whole animal yet but this is just going to be meat. So if you have something like this then you can do what I said earlier. A lot of you guys are asking me about dry aging and stuff I'll do that that's a separate topic I don't want to half ass that that requires certain humidity certain filtration systems so that gets a little complicated. If you want to just hang meat in your fridge you just put it on a rack like I said earlier you get the fridge as cold as possible and just put it on a rack or put it in the fridge that's all you have to do. This is my big freezer. Here I have some this is some cryovac beef fat that I got you know it's not too high quality but this is how it comes so that's that's that my salmon row is in here too you know my salmon like some of the vacuum seals broke and they got some frost all over them but that's just how it is. I got my marabones in here too just a frozen marabones in a bag. So generally speaking if you free something or your refrigerate something and it's not cryovac you want to use it generally as quickly as possible so in the fridge two to three weeks generally for pretty much anything if it's stored properly in a cold fridge if it's cryovac it might last a little longer if you don't open it and in the case of like cryovac stuff in the freezer it'll last you know two three years literally cryovac in the freezer if it's just wrapped nice in the plastic six months to two years and if it's wrapped poorly and already has like free and like it's getting frost in it I would use try to use it within a few months. There's a big difference between like if you go to the supermarket and you buy some ground beef if you're buying meat from the supermarket you know at a week and a half you're kind of pushing it at least in my experience a lot of the meat I buy is directly from purveyors it's sourced frozen cryovac it's super fresh when I get it at least not maybe not super fresh maybe it's technically old but in regards to its exposure to oxygen it's relatively fresh so I'll show you guys you know when I get that animal in the future and other things that I do hopefully but have helped some of you guys out this is from my experience working in a couple different steakhouses in the city as well as just experimenting anecdotally in general here's my daily makeup check for you guys no no my eyebrows are normal you know nothing on them nothing on my face there's nothing on my hands you know you guys are driving crazy my wife and my face like a nut job nothing on my shirt no makeup there's nothing in my hair like I don't have product in my hair like now my hair smells like meat but I don't have any product in my hair if you guys want to support me you know hey follow my youtube channel check out my I'm trying to be more I sorry I didn't post on twitter yesterday I'll make sure to post twice today I'm trying to be more active on twitter and instagram if you guys there's also some like podcasts and some other youtube channels I was on they're in the comments but above all guys if you can just please share my channel with the buddy tell them how hey this Italian guy looks like a clown and he wears makeup and he's crazy he likes meat I don't know tell him something that fits them if they want to follow carnivore tell him hey this guy knows a lot about nutrients if they're if they like Aladdin looking Italian guys tell them hey are you looking to meet a disney prince if they like making fun of people say hey look at this guy's eyebrows you know so anyway thank you guys for watching this is a re-upload I realized I missed a lot of details in my other video and not that I missed them I was playing on answering them in the comments but I just didn't think in hindsight how important it would be to mention those things
