    Dry aging meat in fridge

    I've been playing with sausage maker steak wraps. They are 24"×24" collagen sheets that allow you to use a regular fridge as a drying chamber. I'm on ribeye #3 and have averaged 35-40 days. So far, it has been excellent results. Probably a 1/4" rind that has to be removed. These have me...
