TIL that hanging a dry aged ribeye for 28 days in my home fridge actually works, but you need way more airflow than you think.

What about the smell in your fridge from the aging process? I tried a smaller cut once and the odor got into everything else, even sealed containers. It made me rethink the whole idea of using a shared fridge.

Nah, that's just a sign you didn't prep it right. You gotta wrap that thing up tight. I use a double layer of cheesecloth and then vacuum seal it. Zero smell. If it's leaking smell, it's probably drying out anyway. A good seal protects the meat and your butter.

Vacuum sealing still smells up the whole fridge.
