Title: dry aging - sticky, slimy meat,
Post by: avada on September 08, 2022, 10:36:21 pm
Hello, do any of you know why my meat becomes sticky, slimy and does not lose much moisture? I have a gastronomic cabinet, there is a gentle fan. the temperature varies from 1 to 4 degrees (i.e. when it reaches 4, it turns on until it reaches 1 and turns off) excess water is removed by the evaporator. unfortunately, I did not have a hygrometer, so I do not know what the humidity was. However, I wonder if it's a matter of humidity or maybe the fact that before I put the meat in, the animal hung in the skin in the refrigerator for 5 days (it's wild game)?

Why don't you get a frost free fridge? You can set it between 1-4°C and the humidity will be pretty dry on its own. No needs for fan etc. I do this myself. I don't think it will be because of the skin, it should eventually dry. So, I would say your humidity is higher than 75%. Hope this helps
