- You should choose pieces of meat that have a dry surface, with soft skin, a distinct texture of meat and fat, but they must be tightly connected, with a characteristic smell of pork.
- When buying, you can press the meat with your hand to check. If, when you withdraw your hand, the meat returns to its original shape without any dent, it is fresh meat.
- Absolutely do not buy if the meat shows the following signs: There are bruises, pale or overly dark color, glossy surface, when touched it feels slightly slimy on the fingertips, has a foul smell or a rotten odor.
- If you buy meat at the market, you can ask the seller to grind it for you, or you can buy the meat home and grind it yourself with a meat grinder.
