I cook 6 - 8 lbs of chicken breasts whole and cube them after cooking, store in tupperware. I also cook a 3 - 4 lb thick cut of top round steak and slice it into 7-10 oz portions and store in tupperware. I’ve never had a problem eating any of this meat up to 7 days after cooking. I do tend to put the containers in the bottom, rear of the refrigerator, which is probably one of the coldest spots.[/quote]
I went to Northeastern Thailand once and they let beef strips hang outside drying in the open sun for a while. They deep fried it and served it with a pungent spicy sauce that gets my nose runny.
I think that the whole 3-4 days is for old fridges and those who have a weak immune system, i will give a shot at cooking twice a week on sundays and thursdays instead of rushing to the store daily. Thanks you everyone.
