HOW TO STORE FRESH BEEF MINCE MEAT?
- Do not store fresh mince any longer than necessary. Refer to use-by dates for packaged mince and use well within that time.
- Freeze mince you don’t intend to use. Mince can be frozen for 2 to 3 months. Rather than freezing un-packaged mince in a roundish shape as bought from the butcher, lay it out flat to freeze. This allows the mince to both freeze and thaw evenly.
- Thaw frozen mince (or any meat) slowly in the fridge, away from any ready-to-eat food.
- Use extra care with frozen mince. Its greater exposed surface area of meat means it should be cooked as soon as possible after defrosting.
- Only thaw mince in the microwave if you’re cooking the mince immediately after.
- Never refreeze thawed mince (or any meat).
