Hey there! We're in a bit on a pickle here. We bought a 10lb rib roast for this weekend only to find out half the people can't make it. So we wanted to keep it ice cold or freeze it for next Saturday.

It was bought fresh, we've had it in the fridge for a day to so. It's been brined. We rubbed and tied it about 12 hours ago. And it was air drying overnight. This pup was meant to be on the grill today, but we want to hold off for 7 days now.

Do you think we can freeze it?
Or do you think keeping in an ice bath in our industrial cooler will be better for 7 days?

My logic is that the ice bath is better as it won't break the meat down as much as freezing it.

Whole thing is less than ideal, but I'd love to hear your opinions. Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum and I would freeze it but this is a tough one.    Maybe someone else will jump in with a more definitive answer.
