UMAi Dry Application Basics:
STEP 1: Transfer moist meat into UMAi Dry membrane bags.
STEP 2: Follow instructions for either vacuum sealer or immersion sealing method.
STEP 3: Rest on open wire rack in a regularly used modern frost free kitchen refrigerator located in a room temperature environment for 4-6 weeks (dry aging) or until 35-40% weight loss is achieved (charcuterie).

Important Note: UMAi Dry provides a customized dry aging environment/ Not a vacuum bag, but a moisture and oxygen permeable membrane. Air pockets pose no risk. Even when loose--the membrane is still protecting your meat crafting treasure.

DAY 1 At least 75% of the meat surface is in contact with the UMAi Dry membrane. And your kitchen might be a mess.

DAY 2 UMAi Dry will relax, and may appear loose as it takes up moisture from the meat. There may be moisture pooling in the corners; let time and your fridge take care of that.

DAY 4-5 Bond begins to form; you may notice color change.

DAY 10 The meat should begin to turn mahogany brown. You may begin to catch an earthy, blue-cheesy, nutty scent.

DAY 21 The bark is firm and dark, mostly even in color, and almost firm enough to “knock” on. There may be softer and firmer spots. Small white dots may be salts, fat or mold, which is OK. Grey, blue, green, or black mold is bad news.

DAY 28-45 The meat is firm and dark, and may begin to pull away from the UMAi Dry membrane. Separation is normal— the meat is still protected in its “custom dry aging space.”
