Is it better to wash the newly bought meat and put it in the refrigerator or put it in the refrigerator without washing it?

Generally speaking, fresh meat does not need to be cleaned after it is bought. It can be frozen directly in the refrigerator, and then cleaned after thawing if necessary.

Mainly because: after meat is washed, the surface will be covered with a certain amount of water, which is not conducive to food preservation in the refrigerator and may accelerate deterioration.

Isn't the water sterile in the process of washing meat? Water can only wash away blood and stains. There are bacteria in the water that will attach to the meat. You put it in the refrigerator after washing, which is equivalent to giving bacteria a breeding environment.

PS: Pay attention to the following points when putting meat food in the refrigerator:

1. Buy in moderation. If a lot of meat needs to be preserved, it is recommended to cut it into small pieces and pack it in fresh-keeping bags or boxes. When you eat it later, you can also take it out piece by piece.

2. If you don't eat meat for a short time, it is recommended to put it directly in the refrigerator for quick freezing, which can quickly crystallize and reduce the loss of nutritional value;

3. When thawing, it is suggested to put the quick-frozen meat into the cold room one day in advance, which can reduce the contact with room temperature air and preserve the nutritional components of meat food to a higher degree;

4. Many microorganisms still have the possibility of survival at low temperature, so the preservation time should not be too long. Generally, livestock meat can be stored for 3 days in the cold room and for a long time in the freezing room, usually 1~2 months. It is suggested that the temperature of cold storage room should not be lower than 4℃ and that of freezing room should not be lower than-17.5℃.
