Proper storage and thawing are essential to get the most from your Meadowsweet beef box. Freezing preserves flavour and quality, while careful thawing ensures the best experience with every meal. Here’s a quick guide to keep your beef as fresh as the day it arrived.
Freezing Meadowsweet Beef
All Meadowsweet beef is vacuum-sealed for freshness, helping to prevent freezer burn and locking in flavour. Place your beef in the freezer as soon as you receive it, and it will stay in prime condition for up to 6 months—or even longer!
Thawing Meadowsweet Beef
There are two main ways to thaw your beef:
- In the Fridge: Move the beef from freezer to fridge the night before. This slow, 24-hour thaw keeps the meat’s texture and flavor intact.
- Quick-Thaw in Cold Water: For a faster option, submerge the vacuum-sealed beef in a bowl of cold water for a few hours. Avoid hot water, as it can impact texture and safety.
Quick Tips for Success
- Organize by Cut or Size: Makes it easy to grab what you need.
- Plan Thawing Ahead: This allows for even, high-quality results.
- Keep a Consistent Freezer Temperature: Aim for 0°F (-18°C) or lower to preserve freshness.
With these simple freezing and thawing tips, you’ll enjoy the best Meadowsweet beef experience every time you cook. Enjoy!
Small Beef Box
A small beef box takes up about 28 to 42 liters of freezer space—roughly the size of a kitchen freezer drawer or a small freezer section. It’s perfect if you’re short on space but still want the benefits of bulk beef.
Large Beef Box
A large beef box requires around 57 to 71 liters, about two-thirds of a freezer shelf. Even with other frozen items like veggies or ice cream, there’s usually enough room for a large box.
