If it's ground beef it should be in a sealed container in your fridge and used within four days. Turkey, subtract a day. Always use your eyes and nose, too. If it has any weird discolorations or mold or smells the least bit "funny" don't take a chance. It's MUCH better to settle for something else than end up sick or dead.
It's not that cooked meat should go on the top it's that raw meat should go below it to prevent raw juices landing on the cooked meat without you knowing potentialy leading to you getting ill when eating the cooked meat with raw meat juice on.
not really just when you defrosting make sure you dont mix it with cooked and uncooked meat and dont defrost above room temperature
Bacteria can easily infest meat if it is left out too long at room temperature. The meat will spoil. Spoiled meat will usually be a grayish-pink color, and will feel slimy. It will also smell rancid or unpleasant. Do not eat spoiled meat, as it is dangerous to your health.
when meat is cooked it is a chemical reaction because you make it go back to its raw form hope that helps if not sorry
With meat kebabs your meat should be fully cooked and no pink or pinkish flesh colour should be present, juices from the meat should be clear and have no traces of blood in. Meat should also be very hot to ensure there is no nasty bacteria present. If you buy a kebab from kebab outlets make sure they go through a two step process of cooking the meat. Meat being cooked on the spit should be finally cooked on a hot plate before being put in your pita bread or wrap. If you go to an establishment that carries this process out your kebab meat should be fully cooked and safe. This will eliminate the problems mentioned earlier with uncooked kebab meat.
The taco moists up and grows moldy and gross.
The meat.
24 hours in the 'fridge is pushing it.
No. Supposedly modern refrigerators can handle hot food without allowing other food to go bad. Personally, I'd allow it to cool so that the meat is not steaming hot, which should take no longer than 30 minutes. Then refrigerate it.
Yes. Many small farms feed cooked meat scraps from the kitchen to the flock. This would include meat and vegetables. Cooked meat would not transfer any possible pathogen from poultry meat fed to the flock. You are safe to do this.
After a few hours the meat begins to go bad.
Seasoning meat is no more "bad for you" than eating the meat itself. If you're concerned about healthy eating, look for meat with a low percentage of fat, and go easy on the salt when seasoning.
