That sounds like an easily conducted experiment though you will have to develop a metric for **** taking

But I do wonder, how is this different than a small fridge like:



Which I already have.

With certain precations, you can dry age meat in your fridge (or at least Alton Brown said so). But I think only for a few days safely. While this improves flavor, it is nothing compared to the real time used in proper aging- 21 to 70 days. If you put a steak on a plate uncovered in your fridge, what would it look like in almost 3 months? Yeah, a fuzzy meat cake.

So, to answer your question, this is what they say:

Quote:

Some people dry age steaks inside their regular fridge. This is not recommended (in fact, it is illegal in a commercial environment) as the environment in your fridge is not suitable for dry aging. Even popular dry bag short term dry aging can be dangerous. In the main this is due to the high humidity and highly fluctuating temperature in your household fridge that promotes bacterial growth which in turn can cause foodbourne illnesses and ruin your meat. In addition to high humidity, it lacks a germicidal inhibitor such a Spectrum UVC lamp.

I've tried the "Alton Brown" method. It's bunk. It made the steak worse.

In the article I linked to, The "Fuzzy meat cake" hypothesis is shown to be unfounded.

That was a very interesting article! Thanks!

But what I was talking about was to put a cut steak on a plate for three months, which I'm pretty sure would rot- and this guy said as much. What I didn't realize until reading this article, is that you must age whole primal cuts with the fat cap intact, creating the protective layer that protects the meat from rotting. This makes since, but I'm still worried about bacteria at the start of the project....

Oh, and at least this articles agrees with Alton Brown that you can do it in your home fridge, and buying this expensive piece of equipment is unessisary. But I never did try Alton's method, and likey never will now.

Interesting "Disneyland Paper Mosaics" but aren't we dealing with a few copyright issues here?

I think it will get shut down if Disney catches wind of it...

Kickstarter does seem to be a hot bed for copyright/patent infringement.

RStar 07-02-2014 06:53 AM

I understand free enterprize, and helping people get started. But does no one check Kick Starter for infringements?

With Moonie Jr. at College and Headliner heading that way soon, I can really use this Kickstarter:
