yeah, I rinsed the slab and let it stand for 10 minutes and the smell was still there. Like a newbie, I took it for granted that the package date code that fell on my cook date would be good, you know like beef, but read online, you should look for those that fresher than what I got,"sigh" live and learn. The stink stuck to my hand and knife after washing, Yikes! it stunk up our kitchen pretty much and it kept me smelling my hands for some time and to get it out of my mind. lol
this morning I went to the local store, asked the butcher of the smell, he confirmed those cryavac'd ribs or butts do sometimes have that smell and if you let it sit for awhile, the smell should dissipate and if not... . Once in the past I got ribs from Sam's in the cryavac wrap and it had a little smell to it, I rinsed it and didn't think much of it and cooked it, it was a mistake on my part, after it was done and I tasted it the experience of the smell still made me 2nd guess it. lol, another live and learn
any thoughts on my choices of pork to make pulled pork, I'm gonna do it but if anyone has done it, I'm all eyes and ears
