    Been watching UA-cam Food Videos for a long time. Not sure how many I've watched. A LOT. Can't tell you enough how much I enjoy your videos. They're superbly entertaining, informative, educational, the filming and music are terrific. I hope you make many many more in the years to come. A real pleasure to watch. This may be the first comment I've made on UA-cam expressing this kind of praise. Seriously, the vids are great great great!

  • @TerenceHorsman
    @TerenceHorsman 7 років тому +686

    Alex, I think you should work together with some product designers to come up with a commercial version of your box. Can you image a DIY Dry Aging set anyone can use at home? Complete with swappable silica gel modules and a fan. Heck, you can even make it Bluetooth enabled and link it to a smartphone app to make the monitoring easier! I'd buy it for sure.

    • @nicholasdresser

    • @rodrigoboaventura6004
      @rodrigoboaventura6004 7 років тому +36

      Try to buy it in a 3rd word country like mine and see what happens :'( Having a commercial version will not help too much also. But the method and techniches can be reproduced here at home, and that's gold to me!

    • @nicholasdresser
      @nicholasdresser 7 років тому +9

      Specifically for that one their website says "International Flat Rate Shipping $74.99." Not cheap and you could probably recreate at home as you say.

    What a fabulous experiment! The husband and I just caught up with the last 3 dry aged project episodes and found it incredibly interesting how everything was thought out and periodically adjusted. And that the final product ended up being two wonderful pieces of rib steak was a great reward for you and your friends. Thanks Alex!

  • @LbAnubio
    @LbAnubio 7 років тому +109

    I replicated this with argentinian rib-eye in a big freezer set as refrigerator (1-4ºC) and it worked out perfectly :) I put two cuts, a smaller one of 2.5 kg for 16 days and a bigger one of 3.5 kg for 35 days (still few days to go). Used a small fan, carbon for absorbing smells, and rock salt (1-2 kg) for managing humidity. I also followed guidelines for US dry-aged beef for international markets. Good stuff for trying out.

    Hey Alex! Love your videos.
    Just a heads up, many dessicant packets can be dried in a microwave when they get saturated. In that way you can get a few bigger packs and calculate the amount of water it would need to absorb and you can also calculate the amount of water already absorbed by weighing the packets before and after drying.
    There are even dessicant packs with a patch that changes color when they are saturated making it easier for you to see when that happens.
    Would love to see an updated version of this drier.

  • @emilew176
    @emilew176 4 роки тому

    Alex, very interesting! I think you can use a copper or steel tube put it in your freezer and blow very small quantity of air through to create an air circulation in your aging box. Of course you have to clean the tube from time to time because of water condensation. This cold and dry air can help you to regulate your aging box humidity. Another possibility is to seal your meat in a dry age beef steak vacuum bag (10 bags for 30 euros shipped from UK).

      @Firstname Lastname You're still thinking of it as meat; it's not. At this point, it's a bacteria-covered rind. It's responsible for concentrating the flavour of the meat encased in it, so it's a worthwhile process, but the part they trimmed away isn't edible.

    I get it finally, you are ageing it, not curing it. Great compliments from the butcher but going on your past performances, I didn't expect anything less. Great vids, I certainly learned a lot about the process of ageing meat. I often wondered how it never went rancid.

    I like these older videos so much more, they have a vibe to it, something unique, not that much drama as the new ones, and the music. Bon.

    I left both a pork loin and a beef eye of round (different names outside of the US?) hanging in my closet for about 3 months to dry. They were both brined in the refrigerator first so I was absolutely confident that they were safe. :)
