    My Meat Fridge Is Here!

    So my daughter asked me to make pastrami again. Rather than give up a huge chunk of the usable fridge space for 2 weeks to make pastrami, I just added a meat fridge. It fits 2 of my curing containers perfectly.

    So, now I can:

    1)Store more beer as needed

    2) Cure pastrami easily

    3) Dry brine meat on a rack instead of in a plastic bag

    4) Dry age meat

    What else can I do with a meat fridge?

    I am actually planning on leaving it mostly empty so I have room for the above tasks as needed versus not having room anywhere (e.g main fridge) for anything I’d be keeping in there.

      Are Umai bags still the preferred way to do dry aging? It seems easy enough.

      I realize there have been several of these posts on dry aging of late, but I had started this process almost two months ago so I thought I would go ahead and post this. This is a step

        Cool fridge!

        Umai Bags are all i have used, both for dry aging meat as well as charcuterie. I’ve posted about both on the board, rib primals, pancetta and a variety of charcuterie.

        For meat, they have sampler pack that I feel is the best thing to buy so you can dry age various things.

          I bought this one because it was the only one to fit my large Rubbermaid curing containers (I took one with me to Best Buy). I cure a full packer split into point and flat at the same time. You could get by with smaller ones if your containers fit.

        Congratulations!! I just got a defacto meat fridge as well. My fridge fridge died and this dude held me over until I could pick up a replacement. It is now on standby.

          The pic made it look full sized. Mine is 33” so I can see it is not much bigger.

        I also just realized it will be perfect for defrosting turkeys and prime ribs and other big unwieldy pieces of meat.

            Congrats. I sure get it. I have meat fridges and meat freezers and would not trade them. Enjoy!
