Storing Pork

I generally arrange things so that I buy fresh pork on the day in which I will begin to prepare it and find that this approach leads to superior food. If I must refrigerate pork overnight, I discard the butcher’s wrap or plastic in which it came and rewrap it in plastic film, then stow it airtight in a plastic bag. Air is the enemy in pork’s deterioration, so airtight means fresher longer.

I don’t like to freeze pork, finding that much of its sweet goodness pales.
