Should cooked meat be above raw meat?

No, cooked meat should never be placed above raw meat. This is because raw meat can contain harmful bacteria that can contaminate cooked meat.

Here's why:

* Cross-contamination: Juices from raw meat can drip onto cooked meat, transferring bacteria.

* Food safety: Even if you thoroughly cook the meat, the bacteria from raw meat can survive on the cooked meat and cause food poisoning.

Always store cooked meat above raw meat to prevent cross-contamination. This ensures that raw meat juices don't drip onto cooked meat and potentially contaminate it.
