FAQ sur le vieillissement à sec des réfrigérateurs
1.What is dry aging?
Dry aging involves placing beef carcasses or large cuts of beef in beef aging cabinets controlled by constant temperature and humidity without any packaging. It uses the natural enzymes of the beef itself and the action of external microorganisms to increase the tenderness, flavor, and juiciness of the beef, so that the beef presents the most perfect taste. The reason why aging can enhance the flavor of beef is because the beef quickly decomposes protein and secretes enzymes when exposed to air, causing the beef to produce a fermented flavor like mellow wine.
2. What cuts of meat can you dry age?
Dry aging cabinets are usually used to mature high-end beef. They can also be used to mature pork, bacon, fish, ham, sausages, cheese and other products. The aging time is determined by personal taste. The aging time of beef ranges from 20 to 45 days. The actual temperature, humidity, and aging time during aging vary depending on the condition of the raw meat, the local climate, and the chef’s personal preference.
3. What is the ideal dry age time?
The optimal dry aging time varies based on personal preference and desired flavor intensity. From the 11th day of aging, the real flavor of beef will begin to develop, and as the aging time increases, the flavor becomes more intense. Usually best at 35-45 days, ranging from subtle nutty flavor to rich blue cheese flavor. But some enthusiasts may extend the process longer to get a more pronounced flavor.
4. What are the optimal conditions for dry aged?
Température: 0-4℃ constant temperature (larger imported compressor) uses a larger compressor to cooperate with the ice water in the evaporator to ensure that the temperature is within an absolutely constant range.
Humidité: 50-80%, unique humidity control system, through three years of research and development, using an extra-large fin evaporator and compressor start-stop time system to achieve precise humidity control.
Wind speed: 0.5-2m/s. The combination of brushless motor fans and complex duct systems ensures that the fans on each floor can operate at 0.5-2m/s.
5. How do I check if my steak is dry-aged correctly?
You can look at the outside of the meat or smell it. After about a week a crust will form on the outside and it should look dry and textured. This is normal and ideal. The meat should have a strong beef aroma without any unpleasant odor. Additionally, the outer color of the meat may become darker, but the texture will become more tender.
