Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
