Aging Meat?

  1. That's the 'other room' at the crematorium.


    This week I saw an ad for dog meat.

    "Delicious dog meat.
    From our kennels to your freezer."

  2. I don't mind a good aged piece of beef, 12 to 15 days are enough, after that they get a little too beefy for me.

    1. They aged my cow 13 days and it has been perfect. Some of the best beef I have ever had. Grass fed and grain finished for 6 weeks. It was supposed to be 4 weeks but processor was backed up

  3. Back in the day, aged meat would have the outside rotten (often maggot infested) portion cut away.

  6. 14 days or less: Not much change in flavor or tenderness.
    14 to 28 days: Noticeable increase in tenderness, especially towards the higher end of this range.
    28 to 45 days: Distinct notes of blue or cheddar cheese emerge, and the meat becomes more intensely flavored.
    45 to 60 days: Extremely intense flavors develop, with some finding it too strong.
