Instructions say to refrigerate after tenderizing if not planning to cook it right away.

I let mine cool down to room temp before cooking. Today I left it out for 1 hr and it was fine.

I always put my meat out to room temperature. It takes a lot longer to cook if you don't. I put the meat tenderizer on just before putting in the oven or grill just because the meat will get mushy if you put it on any sooner. Meat will not spoil unless you have had it out for a very long time. A couple of hours even will not spoil the meat. I have a friend that is a butcher for a living and he said you can even refreeze meat after it has been thawed. Hope this helps. Kathy C. Tampa, Fl

The meat can be tenderized at room temperature and seasoned as well, if it's going to be cooked within an hour or so. Meat should not be cooked coming directly from the refrigerator, it should be at room temperature anyway.

I think it is best to allow meats to get to room temp. for an hour or so, but it is a safety thing not to let things stay out too long although it might be OK. I tend to put the tenderizer on about 20 minutes before. I agree that it can make things too mushy, although I have put it on meat even hours before. It may depend on the meat, the temperature, etc. It takes practice. Less is better & then go from there.

I have never preheated it. On non-frozen meat it takes about two and a half minutes to score the meat, then the other side is almost immediate. I think it actually says you shouldn't put it in empty.

No. It just cools better and longer if you take it out of the fridge, but it also feels cool at room temp. It certainly doesn't "spoil" or anything.

No, it is a cured meat product and does not require refrigeration until it is initially sliced, then it requires refrigeration.

I'm assuming its survival is not too long once it reaches room temperature. Since this is a live organism and needs the cold to stay alive, the organism may die once it gets too warm. I would contact the company and ask them for the correct answer. When I buy it from my local nutrition store, they always put it in a special bag to keep it cold until I get home. Hope this helps.

Yes! Do refrigerate after opening. I warmed it to room temp before feeding (a few seconds in the microwave).

This might help: The instructions say....Microwave re-heating: never transfer the container straight from freezer/refrigerator to microwave; always wait for the container to get to room temperature. Remove lid before placing the container in the microwave; select a medium- low power program(maxtemp +70 C / +158 F) never use the crisp/browning function. The hot container should never be placed on a wet or cold surface: please use a trivet or other protection. Attention: it is recommended not to heat up foods that are high in fat or sugar because they can reach very high temperatures resulting in possible breakage of the glass.

I leave mine at room temperature and have not had a problem. I do keep my house cool though. If it was hot, I would put the ghee in the refrigerator just to be safe.

Refrigerate any unused portion when you need to use your body heat melts it quickly. Or just set some out at room temp ahead of time

It seems to me I recall a "warning" not to use frozen meat. Tio thoroughly thaw prior to putting in the cooker. I've followed that directive.

Hey RD, we live in a warm climate also but cooling chocolate has never been an issue in this house because it all gets eaten too quickly. I would think that chocolate is chocolate and that cooling it in a fridge wouldn't harm it any but I'm no expert.........good luck, Sandy

Yes!!! slice meat at least one pound (I used London Broil) 1/4 inch thick or thinner (no much) place in plactic bag with seasoning shake to distribute on all or most of the meat. let it set in refrigerator 24 - 48 hours. Place strips of beef in dehydrator. 160 deg is best. cook for 8-10 hours. Whah-la...Munchie time...

I seem to get questions, all the time, about this product that I purchased some time ago. I 'm certainly not an expert on it. I can tell you that I refrigerated my bottle and would bring it to room temperature before using it. I had it for quite a while since it is used in small amounts. I never suffered any ill effects from it.

I've never tried meat right out of the freezer. I pop it into the microwave for a minute or two and than slice it with ease.

I grind at room temperature. It sounds like you have a lot of sinew or gristle in the meat you are grinding. If so, try cutting out what you can.

You can store it at room temp if you do not plan to use it for a while (it WILL NOT be solid anymore)...or just put it in the freezer to store....never know when you will need it.

No it does not need to be refrigerated. Actually I find it easier to palate at room temp. It gets very thick in the frige.
