How to Refrigerate Lamb or Mutton

Newly purchased lamb or mutton should be wrapped loosely in waxed paper or foil and stored as soon as possible in the coldest part of the refrigerator.

Lamb and mutton chops and lamb steaks (cut from the leg) will keep for 2 to 3 days; roasts and large joints, even longer. Diced or minced meat and offal should be used a day or two after being bought.
