You should store meat on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator in either a sealed container or in a dish that can contain any leaking fluids. Once thawed, meat should be cooked within 48 hours for best quality and flavor.

Can you store marinated meats next to raw chicen?
Cooked meat should be stored away from raw meat. If stored in the same fridge, have the cooked meat on a shelf about the raw meat. This is to prevent juices and blood from dripping onto cooked meat should the raw meat be on a higher shelf.
What is most important before putting raw meat in the fridge?
Always keep raw meat at the bottom of your fridge and covered. This ensures that should the meat leak, it doesn't leak over other foods.
Why store raw chicken on the bottom of the fridge?
Because raw meat has the potential to drip blood onto anything stored below it. If you store raw and cooked meats in the same fridge, you always store tyhe cooked meats at the top, and the raw meats on the bottom (with no food below it !)
Where do you store raw and cooked meats?
You can store most raw meats safely in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days, depending on the type of meat. I wouldn't store raw chicken over 1 day, beef for 2 to 3 days, and ham for up to 4 or 5 days. If you need to store it for longer before cooking, your best bet is to freeze it.
Is it safe to store cooked and fresh meat in the same plate in the fridge as long as it is covered?

Is it safe to eat ground beef if it was left uncooked in the fridge with the door accidentally open?
Absolutely Not! I would never keep anything in a fridge without a seal or tight cover. You are risking the transfer of smells and odors to everything else in your fridge and the odors of the other things in the fridge into your beef. That beef will never taste the same and you are risking yourself food poison and e-coli poisoning from the raw meat contaminating other things. You should be consuming or freezing raw beef immediately after purchase.
