    What I like about Eric and this channel is they show you what and why it can go wrong, and how it should look and how to understand why, I have seen some cheffy channels that do this that and this and this is what you get, not with 2 guys and a cooler you get the pro's and the cons, the why's and the what's. Great usable informative content.

    Based on another post it’s been said that many restaurants will take the crust, simmer in fat and cook other steaks to infuse the dry aged flavor and pass the serving off as dry aged. Perhaps true. If so, you can still use these trimmings as a value added ingredient, or in a worst case situation a pet treat ❤

    Finding your channel is a Carnivores heaven. I will be trying some of your recipes and I found your discussions on salts very informative. I was recently in Italy and found it very easy to stay Carnivore ordering things like Carpaccio and Peposo, deep rich flavors that satisfy. I will be exploring your channel more fully, especially the dried cured meats.

    This looked really great, it formed a pellicle like any dry aged steak, maybe it was harder because of the size? Do you think it would come out different if it were in a regular chamber with a humidifier?
    Great project 🙏🏽

    I'm brazilian and really, the thing you got right is that you have to throw away the ends, the foreigners never eat to the end. And no, here we never use picanha on our bbq, it's hard, too expensive, too fat and it's just junk, you can only eat that on expensive restaurants that don't really do what we love, like chicken hearts, chicken breast wrapped in bacon, acém, some wings and such. And the only seasoning is coarse salt, anything else will get eyebrows rising at the bbq.... even black pepper.

    I don't mind simplicity, after all it's about the meat and sometimes less is more. Especially when it comes to spices.

  • @roughneckrhino

  • @johnec0042
    @johnec0042 Місяць тому

    Did you happen to put one of your Govee recorders into the chamber with only a couple of pounds of product? I have an itch to get one of these chambers, but the need to have a significant amount of product puts me off. I frequently only do small quantities and a need to futz around to maintain humidity is off-putting.

  • @umbraone
    @umbraone 4 місяці тому

    I was thinking when you were setting this up that you might want to add a pan of water. As I didn't think the small amount of meat would increase the humidity enough. Be interesting to conduct some more experiments adjusting the variables. I'm thinking about buying the curing chamber just for salami, pepperoni, snack sticks, etc. What are your current thoughts on this chamber?

    Hello, I'm new to curing meat and am interested in the traditional curing and aging, salt box method. I am struggling to find a consistent recommendation on how long meat should be left in the salt when covered fully. Some suggest up to 5 days and longer for larger pieces of meat. Others state between two and two and a half days for hanging hams to cure. Is there a recommendation that I could apply to any size meat to know how long to cure in the salt box method without making it completely unedible due to saltiness. Thanks

  • @bradleyferdinand9192

    Hi Eric,
    Thank you for the great instructional videos! I am making 10 lb of pancetta and 5 lb of dry aged ribeye. I cured the pancetta for two weeks in a vacuum bag. I am using a dry aging chamber. But, the temperature stays at 36 degrees Fahrenheit. I used insta cure #2. Will the low temperature of my dry age chamber prevent the conversion of nitrate to nitrite? Will my cured meat be safe to eat after 30 days? I am also using curing sheets for the pancetta.

    Dude, nothing is unusable. Just think of it as a jerky. The longer you chew it the more flavor it releases. Also cut into small cubes or slice as thin as you did the rest and cook with eggs in the morning,... Heaven.
    But seriously don't cut it in small pieces. Just smoke the whole thing. You'll get a lot less crust if you don't like it. No need for collagen wrap
    Also smoking is a feel ( gently squeeze that sucker every few days) and not just percentage of weight lost.
    Not a fan of nitrates on as you say 'low risk sterile meat' not for sale to public.
    If and when you do over-dry, vacuum, fridge for a couple of weeks, should soften it up (after opening paper towel wrap and in the fridge overnight to dry outer surface)
