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. Never fear. Even when loose--the membrane is still protecting your dry aging treasure
