Fresh Meat
Technology has solved one of our meatiest dilemmas: If you bought fresh steaks on Wednesday, how do you know if they’re still good on Saturday? A few quick sniffs might give you an answer. Or you could test it with the new SensorfreshQ Meat/Poultry Freshness Detector, a battery-operated, hand-held device that tells you without a doubt – and within seconds – if your raw meat or poultry is safe to eat. After a few short steps, the device’s electronic “nose”, or sensor, will calculate the level of “bacteriological activity” in the meat or poultry. If it’s low, a green light will tell you it’s safe. Yellow means the meat is OK but should be eaten soon, and red means it’s bad and should be thrown out. At $89.95, the SensorfreshQ is on par with a price-club size package of beef tenderloin. But if it saves you from getting sick - or throwing out said package of still-good beef tenderloin – it will be money well spent. Sauce pick: SensorfreshQ Meat/Poultry Freshness Detector Cost: $89.95 Where to get it: Sur La Table, Plaza Frontenac, 314.993.0566, www.surlatable.com, or at the manufacturer’s Web site: www.fqsinternational.com/qstore/ |
