Content: Tip
To get your white dish towels clean soak them in cold water overnight. Then soak them in cold salted water for 2 to 3 hours. This will get out any blood stains. Then just wash them like you normally would. Check your thermometer daily to make sure the temperature isn't above 36 degrees F. If it is any warmer it could cause the meat to spoil. Use only USDA Prime or USDA Choice that is yield grade 1 or 2 only cuts of meat when dry aging beef. The reason for this is that these have a thick layer of fat that will prevent your beef from spoiling while you dry age it. Warning
If you see anything on your beef that looks like it could harm you if you ate it at any time, be sure and cut it off right away, so there is little to any chance that you accidentally give yourself food poisoning. One thing to bear in mind before you decide to dry age beef at home is that The National Cattleman's Beef Association does not endorse dry aging beef at home because of concerns about beef spoiling and people getting food poisoning. Only get into your refrigerator when you really need to.
