Thawing Product
For best results, thaw all meat in the refrigerator. Remove meat from the box and place in a single layer on a tray. Always leave the wrapper on while thawing. Good results can also be obtained in less time by thawing steaks in cold water. Following is a timetable for defrosting meats in the refrigerator
Meat Time in Refrigerator to Defrost (36 to 40 degrees F)
   
1 inch Steak
12 to 14 hours
   
Pork Products 1 day per 1 to 2 pounds
   
Poultry/Chicken 1 day per 1 to 2 pounds
 

Storing Product
FIRST, keep your freezer as cold as possible. Even a small increase in temperature can shorten the storage life of all frozen foods. SECOND, it is best to leave your steaks in their box to protect quality and freshness. If you do not have room for this, it's OK to remove your steaks from the box and store them in their vacuum package.


Kitchen Thermometers
We always recommend that a thermometer be used when testing for doneness. It is a quick simple way to test that your product is properly cooked.
Meats to the proper degree of doneness:
Beef: 150 to 155 F degree internal
Pork: 155 – 160 F degree internal
