Using Umai Bags to Dry Age Without Ruining The Bag + Tips and Tricks

[@filterdecay]

best video for these bags. Thanks

[@robertblanchard9570]

Thanks for the tips. I wasted my first bag but nailed it with the second one after watching your video

[@kali_kid566]

You saved my Christmas with the buffer lol Thank you very much

[@elliotkamper]

Thank you so much for this video! Love learning from those with hands-on experience.

[@IvoninTuretsky]

Dude thank you so much for going through the buffer. I've had the same issues and I was tearing my hair out trying to fix it.

[@lindsayburrows9272]

I was a bit worried about the wrinkles and little bit of air left in the bag after I used the immersion method.But I would say its probably about spot on with what you have achieved with that vac sealer anyway. My vac sealer is just beyond hopeless with the umai bags. As soon as you apply any pressure onto the bag to try and pull a vacuum it just seals it immediatly runing the end of the bag.

[@rlvlr]

Thank you Zac. The buffers the trick...

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Thanks for the buffer tip! Umai needs to include those strips with their kit. That plastic 'melts like butter' in my VacMaster.

[@rickbledsoe8748]

XX Just angle seal with no buffer ,then vacuum seal and burn hole in angle section 12 $ lost in production, , have lost 4-5 bags trying my dry aging costly, live and learn thinks for the help!,

[@1bertski]

I have used the same bag over and over for at least 5 times so far. I clean the bag very well and before I hang it out to dry ,I spray it with a half water half Vinegar mix. And I found out you don’t have to vacuum seal it. No meat was spoiled when I use the bag over.

[@KevinMphotography]

Interesting tip. I’ll give that a shot although I’ve already cut mine down like six times because it doesn’t vacuum seal. I just got done just putting it in the fridge as is and we’ll see how it goes

[@josephrabor222]

Thank you, a very well done vid.

[@eugenekorotkov3758]

I've always found that the strongest vacuum is always pulled if you lift the entire device on its side such that the meat and bag is upright. Probably not the best idea on this size of meat that you're dry-ageing though

[@BrofessorDG]

OK so, I'm confused, how much is the bag supposed to stick to the meat?

[@alexolivares1972]

how to re-use the bag? is that possible? once the aging process complete?

[@mymountainlife69]

So if you have a chamber vac sealer the mouse it not necessary?

[@Sami-om6vb]

Have you tried the same bag a second time? I’m wondering if I can seal the rack, cut 2 steaks after 30 days and then 2 other 15 days later, etc. Resealing the bag every time.

[@ZacOzzie]

I cant see why not as long as the fresh cut of meat is making appropriate contact with the bag. Im about to upload a new video too.

[@ZacOzzie]

Ive finally uploaded the video, I hope I adequately answer your question. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHSagYmHoLGKp7c

[@son_gogeto9128]

These bags are garbage! I've used them multiple times, and get a seal sometimes and sometimes not. Would NOT recommend.

[@cornbaby1982]

how do you remove the liquid? i tried a few times but liquid was always an issue

[@kevindunn6962]

My sealer isn’t wide enough for the bag. Should I just let it bunch up at the ends or fold it onto Itself at the corners and seal together?

[@ZacOzzie]

what you can do is angle the corners and do them in stages. I wouldn't bunch up the bag

[@49eddieg]

I have a Vacuum sealer and want to know if you use the vacuum cycle or do you just seal the bag

[@ZacOzzie]

49eddieg Hi. thanks for your query. Definitely vacuum.

[@MrAbbottWins]

Was it any good? Worth the money?

[@ZacOzzie]

Shannon Abbott - you'll have to watch the follow up video where all is revealed ☺ I aged it for 100 days. I'm about to make another and experiment recycling the umai bag.

[@bear_bailey1483]

WHAT THE FUCK!!! 5kg ribeye for 150 Aussie dollars. In the UK Costco’s 2.4 kg ribeye will cost £90 or $162. For half of what this guy got. I need to move to Australia sharpish 🤣

[@chookchack]

You exposed the inside of the umai bag with the meat’s wrap. Did i miss you washing the original plastic?

[@elliotkamper]

Sounds like a good idea , just to be safe. I'll do that with my meat wrap (what a weird word)

[@chookchack]

@@elliotkamper wth 😂😂😂

[@allglasstinting]

Did you say you used that bag before? I.e. over and over with the same bag?

[@ZacOzzie]

no i didnt, turns out its not a good idea

[@allglasstinting]

@@ZacOzzie no worries.. enjoy your videos

[@yisroelleibowitz3136]

did touching your first one ruin it?

[@ZacOzzie]

not at all

[@touacheng9936]

can you use a mini fridge instead of a big fridge?

[@ZacOzzie]

toua cheng Yes that shouldn't be a problem as long as it's at or under 4 degrees Celsius. The fridge requires it to be opened regularly though (according to umai) to allow fresh air to exchange.

[@cryptoaddict9410]

There website says not to.

[@yeahnahyeah7872]

@@ZacOzzie yeah im unclear on the whole open or dont open the fridge... some say do, some say dont 🤷‍♂️ ive just started and would be handy to know. Also do you set the seal time on your machine or preset?

[@ZacOzzie]

@@yeahnahyeah7872 you can open and close the fridge. With umai bags it's expected to open and close the fridge so that's fine. seal was preset.

[@timcrytzer7794]

No

[@aldolorenzo5199]

Guys whats the warranty of the umai vac sealer?

[@ZacOzzie]

Not sure on that but I beleive its a sunbeam sealer which would be typically 12 months. You dont need to get the Umai sealer, you can purchase your own.

[@nicklachey9949]

Hey can u tell me where to buy the meat at?.....

[@ZacOzzie]

I get mine from Costco

[@irushz5899]

Do you need the umai vacuum sealer or can you just use your own

[@ZacOzzie]

You can use any vacuum sealer. I don't have the umai sealer.

[@irushz5899]

Ok thank you

[@Kampylakos]

Can I seal the bag properly if I dont have that white fabric like thingy?

[@ZacOzzie]

Unlikely as the bag may collapse on itself. You can always try but the UMAI always comes with the vac mouse

[@Kampylakos]

@@ZacOzzie i see, thank you. I got a different dry age bag, not umai. I received them just today and im not sure if it includes the vac mouse, ill have to check!

[@ZacOzzie]

Try this stuff www.ebay.com.au/i/273457066479?chn=ps its very similar (if not the same)

[@neverica]

Go to the Umai website and they show a different method that requires no vacuum sealer.

[@angrycharlie]

Thanks mate but you could have made this video 2 minute long

[@Treblaholland]

I second both. 🙂

[@loresanchez2513]

Very bad diccion
