How long to keep pork butt in refrigerator?
Question for the experts. Pork butt is .98 a pound here Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday. If I buy it Tuesday and don't use it until Saturday is it alright to keep it in the refrigerator instead of freezing? How long would you keep a pork butt refrgerated instead of freezing? Does store wrapping versus cryo-packing make a difference in your decision? Thank you, Ric in Rock Hill |

Food service rules here in TX says that thawed food must be consumed or discarded in 1 week. |

I've kept those meats for weeks with no adverse affects. The regular wrapping is good for 5 to 7 days. Maybe more, but I don't go beyond that. I'd buy on Tuesday and not worry at all. |

Is there any way to cook one day and serve 2-3 days later and still have it taste as good? seattlepitboss |

Anything longer I'd freeze in a Foodsaver bag. |

The sell-by date was Feb 7th. I just cooked them last night and they were just fine. Only applies to Cryovaced pork. -sw |
