If you want to make dried meat at home, but you don't know how to store it, then you've come to the right place. We'll briefly explain how you can store dried meat at home.
What is dried meat?
Dried meat is meat that has been treated with salt, nitrates, or other preservatives.
Drying meat can also prevent it from spoiling because the process itself kills all the bacteria in the meat. The meat is salted to preserve it for longer.
How to store dried meat?
Most often, this type of meat is stored in a refrigerator or freezer, where it can last for quite a long time. Wherever you decide to store your dried meat, you should make sure that there are no products around it that have a very strong odor, such as onions.
To keep your dried meat for longer, you should store it in a cool, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight or other heat sources.
This will prevent it from spoiling and drying out too quickly. If you decide to freeze the dried meat, it can last no more than a year in the freezer.
In the refrigerator, dried meat can last no more than two weeks. Before you put the meat in the refrigerator, you should wrap it well or put it in a plastic bag. This will prevent moisture from entering the meat, as well as mold.
