You can only refreeze chicken if it has been defrosting in the fridge.
Chicken will have a weird smell if it has sat in a plastic bag with all its juices. Rinse the product and give it a bath of cold water and salt or vinegar.
Chicken is best kept frozen unless you’re using it that day.
You can only refreeze meat if it has been defrosting in the fridge.
We are low on veal due to the drought earlier on.
Every animal comes with spare ribs, we have veal south Africa, beef south African, lamb ribs and chicken ribs.
We recommend you freeze any meat left in the fridge after 24 hours.
The brown/grey areas come from the meat touching or sitting on top of each other.
The red juice that comes out of any meat or chicken is called myoglobin. Its when the protein loses the ability to hold onto water and it releases a red/pinkish liquid. It’s totally normal and perfectly fine to use. It could also be some pigmentation leaking from bone marrow.
Do not defrost the burgers, put them on the grill/BBQ frozen.
The hotdogs are made from beef and veal, they are already cooked. The sausages are made from lamb mostly, they need to be cooked.
Our small good do not contain any gluten.
Our meat is Kosher for Passover all year round. Our small goods, pickled meats and minces are not kosher for Passover all year round, only a couple weeks before Passover.
To minimise deterioration, we recommend to defrost chicken or meat in the fridge overnight. However, for a faster result, you can defrost chicken or meat in cold water, and change the water every 30 minutes.
