Why is it recommended to take meat out of plastic when storing in the fridge (as opposed to freezer)?
A. Plastic will make the meat sweat. If you intend to cook meat the day it’s purchased, there isn’t any need to take it out of the plastic wrap. However, if you are planning to store it for longer, the meat should be transferred to a non-plastic dish and covered with foil or loosely covered with plastic to allow some air flow.
