Suzie's Tips ... Delicious Food and Keeping it Safe

Marinating and Storage Times For Lamb Meat Marinate lamb in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Boil used marinade before brushing on cooked lamb. Discard any uncooked leftover marinade. Since product dates aren't a guide for safe use of a product, how long can the consumer store the food and still use it at top quality? Follow these tips: Purchase the product before the date expires. Follow handling recommendations on product. Keep lamb in its package until ready to use. Refrigerate lamb roasts and chops 3 to 5 days (ground lamb, 1 to 2 days); and 3 to 4 days after cooking. If product has a "Use-By" Date, follow that date. If product has a "Sell-By" Date or no date, cook or freeze the product by the times recommended above. For best quality, use frozen lamb roasts and chops within 6 to 9 months; ground lamb, 3 to 4 months. Hope that helps. See you all later on.
