How Does a Dry Aging Refrigerator Work?
A dry-aging refrigerator is essentially a sophisticated microclimate control chamber: by maintaining a constant low temperature (to inhibit spoilage bacteria), a specific humidity level (usually around 80% to concentrate flavor), and continuous air circulation (to prevent mold and form a protective outer layer), it creates a perfect "safe fermentation" environment. This allows the meat's own enzymes to break down muscle fibers over several weeks, tenderizing the meat, while moisture evaporation intensifies the flavor.
