Question
after cooking a prime rib how lomg does it stay good for in a walk in cooler
Hi Rhonda,
Prime rib...yum,yum!!!
Cooked meats that are refrigerated should be used within 3-4 days. If you can't use it in that time period, you should freeze the meat.
Once frozen, for best quality, use the frozen cooked meat within 2 months.
