Umai steak aging bags

I've used them on several whole rib roasts and they all turned out great!

I highly recommend Umai bags.

Just stick it in the fridge on a cooling rack. Should be fine. I've done some research that indicates the aging bags provide no benefit over just aging in the open air in your fridge.

TLDR: In a fridge with a fan for a minimum of 21 days. Keep it on a rack, don't need to wrap, and the bigger the piece of meat you start with, the less you'll lose % wise. Also, the longer you wait, the more the flavors change.

For the last two years I have organized a BBQ event for Broil King Keg owners that was held in north Alabama. Last year we had the owner/owners of Umai Dry Bag join us and do a demonstration. Below are a few pictures of the demo that I took.

Igor explaining the process with a primal cut that was aged for I forget how long but something like 49 days.



Showing us the trimming process.



Trimmed and cut steaks ready for the grill.



You see how dense the meat is after the drying and trimming.



Not a great job happening on the grilling and this was the rep. from Broil King doing the grilling. I wanted to slap him, take the tongs from him, heat up the grill a LOT more and do those steaks right!



Overall, it's a great product(Dry Bags)and they have some for doing home process charduterie. If done exactly how the instructions say to you get a great piece of meat. BTW, if you do buy the bags and use them IF you run into a problem don't hesitate to call Thea or Igor for help. If you would you might drop my name so they know I appreciate their coming to Kegtoberfest 2015. I hope this helps a little.

Thanks for the replies. I had already ordered them before I started the thread. Will try and take pics and start thread for the process and the results.

Just put them in your fridge till they turn greenish black.

Yes, you can use them with a regular vacuum sealer. Email Thea and or Igor and talk to them first if you'd like. Tell them Cajunate from the Kegtoberfest 2015 referred you. LINK / They're good people!
