Here is a simple and quick way to check the quality of meat. To do this, you will need a 10-by-10-centimeter foil and a toothpick. Ask the seller to cut a small piece of meat and put it on the toothpick. Then hold this piece over the foil and light it on fire.

If it's natural meat, it will burn from the edges in about 15 seconds, with light smoke and a characteristic barbecue smell. If it's low-quality meat, it will smell like chemical additives and release dark-colored juice. This juice will bubble and even foam a little.

This process will take about 30 seconds. During this time, you will be able to understand whether you are looking at natural meat or a chemical "dummy". So don't forget to use this simple way to check meat before buying it in the store.
