For those of you who trim meat prior to arriving onsite at a contest... how do you package/ transport/ store the meat after you have taken it out of its original packaging?

We wrap it in Plastic Wrap.

we put a bunch of spices on it to keep the juices from leaking out, then plastic wrap.

J/k... We just plastic wrap it.

I use a Food Saver....also, I have discovered these huge 2.5 gallon Ziplok bags that are pretty effective too.

A big zip lock baggy packed in ice. If too for a bag, a plastic container.

You can use your Food Saver to package a brisket?

If you cut it up in real small pieces you'll be fine.

Zip lock bags. Once its inspected, you can dump the marinade right in or season with dry rub, then reseal.

We only trim chicken ahead, b/c it comes from the farm in butcher paper. Harvested on Tuesdays.... Its more sanitary anyway. Everything else comes in cryovac, and is easy enough to do on-site.

what do find to be the big advantage in pre trimming?
is it just a time saver?

Sean, to me, it's more than a time saver, though that's part of it. MOre than that, though, I get to do most of my knife work in my own kitchen, with running water, lots of room, etc. Clean up is SO much easier.
