I know that wet aging a brisket or beef ribs that are still in their cryovac bag is the way to go. Once you open the bag, all bets are off - even if re-bagging in a home vacuum sealer.
I was in my local butcher shop and asked for some full plate (4 bone) beef ribs. The butcher came out with a nicely cryovac'ed bag that had 4 plates. I wanted to cook up just 2 for some friends this weekend. No problem, nice butcher cut open the bag and we picked out two.
What I really would have wanted was to purchase all 4. Cut the bag open at home, vacuum seal 2 ribs and cook the other two. I realized what I really wanted was a way to re-sterilize the vacuum bagged ones so I could wet age them.
So, came across this UV-C tube on Amazon:
I could mount it in a spare cooler or large insulated box (like Crowd Cow boxes) and UV blast the just sealed bags.
According to my research, maybe 10 minutes of exposure.
Then I could wet age for a few weeks!
Anyone have any experience in UV-C sanitizing. Maybe Jerod Broussard ?
