While the directions for preparing beef using the hot pack method have not changed, things are a little bit different for the raw pack method, which I have always favored. As has been my experience, and as the Guide notes, "[t]he natural amount of fat and juices in today’s leaner meat cuts are usually not enough to cover most of the meat in raw packs." If using the raw pack method, which is still safe and acceptable, the meat at the top of the jar may not be covered by the meat juices. As such, it's going to turn dark and may appear less appetizing. Some may think it has spoiled and is unsafe to eat. And that may be reason enough to start using the hot pack method. It's certainly something worth considering.
