I HATE friggin plastic containers

tortaboy said:

I go through all the efforts to use great rubs, cook meat to perfect temps, and get really juicy and great tasting que.

Then....

I let the leftovers cool and put them in plastic containers in the fridge.

So....

When I want a little late night snack, I open the container only to have all
the condensation from the plastic lid get water all over (Food, table, etc):evil:.

If....

I wanted my meat to be rained on, I'd just put it under the farking sprinkler
before I put it in the fridge.

What say brethen? What are some better short term storage options?

Haha...stop the rain. I like that.

I'm thinking that may not work so well with meat. The "Rain" would probably get the paper towels to stick to the meat. :tsk:

Maybe I should burglarize a KFC joint (JK for those that think I'm serious) and get a bunch of cardboard containers....at least I don't see "Rain" when stuff is stored in them.

How does your wife store leftover meat (short term)?

Do you actually vacuum suck meat that you will eat the next day? Or even meat that you want to snack on that night?

The ziploc bag is rolled removing as much air as possible.

Good luck,

True that...but I'm talking about more meat than would reasonably fit in a ziplock bag.

Anyone ever try wrapping in butcher paper in the fridge? Would it asbsorb too much moisture and fall apart or would it hold up?
