I just got back from Costco where I bought a two pack of chuckies - went through them all and picked the ones with the best marbling. I thought the 4th was this coming week, (happens a lot now that I'm retired), but it's still another week away.
So how do I store the chuckies for another week? Do I dry brine and freeze or freeze and dry brine? Any other suggestions?
BTW - they are in a standard styrofoam tray and covered with very thin plastic film.
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
I keep my refer at right around 34 degrees and here are my thoughts. Take them out and season with whatever you like then double wrap the tightly in plastic wrap. then either freeze or leave in the refer. I've never had a problem with leaving them in the refer like this. Good eats!
Or just leave them in the cryo bags for a week (wet aging ). If the "use by" or "freeze by" date is close, pop them in a freezer for a few days then get them out to thaw. You'll be fine. BTW: Since retiring a year ago, I can relate to loosing track of what day it is.... Ain't it great!!!!
