NO SELF-RESPECTING CHEF PUTS HIS MEAT IN A BAG AND CALLS IT DRY AGING.
DRY AGING HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT SIDES OF BEEF, OR AT A MINIMUM, PRIMAL CUTS HANGING IN THE WALK IN REFRIGERATOR USUALLY FOR 3 TO 4 WEEKS.
NOW IMAGINE BEING ABLE TO DRY AGE INDIVIDUAL STEAKS AT HOME IN DAYS NOT WEEKS…
HOW???
RDFRESH DRY AGE STEAK BAGS WILL ABSORB 35% OF IT'S WEIGHT IN HUMIDITY, WHICH VASTLY SPEEDS UP THE DRY AGING PROCESS, WHILE GREATLY REDUCING WASTE.
Obviously, by DRY AGING INDIVIDUAL STEAKS you’re dealing with thinner pieces of meat with more surface area exposed thus quicker results!
Let’s take a readily available beautiful $7.99 / pound USDA CHOICE Bone in Rib Eye and with minimal waste, (0 to 15%), which adds an average of only $1.00 to the cost, then factor in RD FRESH will add in a $1.00 a pound for its cost…
So for a maximum of $9.99 per pound, you are getting the very same quality dry age steak that currently costs approximately $60 per pound anywhere else.
*NOTICE THE FOOD FRESH BAG IS IN THE REFRIGERATOR WITH THE RDFRESH DRY AGING BAGS. HIGHLY RECOMENNED! (SEE TIPS BELOW)
Dry Age Steaks At Home Dry Aging Suggestions…
1” Thick Steaks…
1 TO 3 DAYS… REUSE THE RD FRESH DRY AGE BAGS UP TO 10 TIMES BY TAKING THEM OUT OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND PLACING THEM IN A ZIP LOCK BAG EACH TIME UNTIL THEIR NEXT USE
2” + Thick Steaks…
4 TO 7 DAYS… REUSE THE RD FRESH DRY AGE BAGS UP TO 6 TIMES BY TAKING THEM OUT OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND PLACING THEM IN A ZIP LOCK BAG EACH TIME UNTIL THEIR NEXT USE.
4″ + Thick Cut Steaks…
7 TO 14 DAYS+… REUSE THE RD FRESH DRY AGE BAGS UP TO 3 TIMES BY TAKING THEM OUT OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND PLACING THEM IN A ZIP LOCK BAG EACH TIME UNTIL THEIR NEXT USE.
A FEW MORE TIPS:
ALWAYS TRIM AS MUCH OF THE FAT FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE MEAT AS THIS WILL HELP WITH THE AGING PROCESS PLUS YOU’RE ONLY GOING TO TRIM IT OFF LATER!!!
I LIKE TO ELEVATE MY STEAKS ON A COOKIE COOLING RACK OR A UPSIDE DOWN TRAY WITH HOLES TO GET THE MAXIMUM AIRFLOW AROUND THE STEAK.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING OUR FOODFRESH PRODUCT IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR AT ALL TIMES TO KEEP ALL THE EXCESS MOISTURE OUT OF IT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU ARE READY TO DRY AGE YOUR STEAKS. THIS WILL DRAMATICALLY EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR DRY AGE BAGS AS THEY WON’T HAVE TO ABSORB THE EXCESS MOISTURE ALREADY IN THE UNIT WHEN YOU START THE DRY AGING PROCESS AND THE EXCESS MOISTURE EVERY TIME SOMEONE OPENS AND CLOSES THE DOOR WHILE YOUR DRY AGING YOUR STEAKS.
THE LESS YOU OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOORS TO YOUR REFRIGERATOR THE FASTER THE PROCESS WILL WORK.
SOME PEOPLE USE THE REFRIGERATOR IN THE GARAGE SINCE IT USUALLY ISN’T USED AS MUCH AS THE MAIN UNIT IN THE HOME.
OTHERS HAVE REPORTED USING AN APARTMENT SIZE REFRIGERATOR HAS REALLY SPEED UP THE RESULTS.
IN A BIG HURRY… DOUBLE UP YOUR BAGS AND WATCH IT TURBO CHARGE THE PROCESS!
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRY AGE UP TO 25 POUNDS OF STEAKS FOR EACH SET OF BAGS. POUNDS VARY ON NUMEROUS FACTORS INCLUDING EQUIPMENT QUALITY, NUMBER OF TIMES DOOR OPENED AND CLOSED, HUMIDITY IN HOME, USING FOODFRESH OR NOT, RESEALING THE BAGS PROPERLY AFTER EACH USE, TO NAME A FEW.
