I have a brisket in cryovac that has a sell by date of 4/28/08. It was supposed to get smoked last weekend, but plans got changed. So, I was going to do it this weekend, but plans are possibly going awry yet again. So, how long can I keep this thing in my fridge before it goes bad? I have it in a meat locker drawer which has an adjustable thermostat, and I checked the temp - right around 33 degrees. Can I safely put this off 1 more weekend, cooking it 5/10 (12 days past sell by date)? I don't want to freeze it, but can if that is necessary.
Thanks
