[Costco] $25 off Kingsway Wagyu Ribeye (Lip-on) or Waygu Striploin (GTA?)

Retailer:: Costco

Instore only. Confirmed at Richmond Hill and Yorktech, probably all stores that stock Kingsway Wagyu.

Regular price $84/kg for striploin and $89/kg for ribeye.

Typical packaging 1.5kg-2kg. I was able to find a ribeye package for $130, so it ended up being almost 20% off

Tons of things for sale!

If frozen properly (vacuum sealed) it should have minimal impact. See here:

no, it still taste much worse with a vacuum seal, especially home cook stuff and not a proper vacuum sealer. the only way to get a good freeze is with those commercial machines that can freeze something fully in less than 1 minute which i think commercial fishing boats use for high value fish. the real problem is with the duration of time it takes for the thing to fully freeze.

what if you put in kitchen paper towels in there to absorb the extra water while it is being frozen? The water content is part of the problem.

The water is within the cells of the meat, the paper towel has little effect. It physically damages the cells in the meat to do a slow freeze. It's why commercial stuff is "flash frozen".

Love the tech behind this and want to know more. I am no expert but have been in several meat processing and freezing facilities so follow some of this and have seen the rapid freezing in action. From what I recall the meat is sent into freeze first and is then packaged and processors can even legally spray water onto the meat before to counteract the moisture evaporation from freezing.

My guess is that for simple home freezers you should first vacuum seal then freeze not the other way around?

Maybe silly question. Just be wondering as the big processors I have seen freeze first.
