Dear all,
I received the dry bags weeks ago, but I did not check the package carefully until yesterday I started to dry age sirloin that I purchased from Costco.
( 1x Sampler packet UMAi DrybagSteak + VacMouse (8 pc.) + 1x Combo Packet UMAi DrybagSteak + VacMouse Item #: CMBVMRTL)
Two problems I have encountered during the sealing process, I hope someone can give me some advice.
1) I’m using FoodSaver 2450 with the UMAi Dry bag, but the seal seems very loose and unsecured comparing to the ordinary FoodSaver vacuum bag. The sealer can be easy opened just simply move the meat a little bit. Is it normal? I did fallow the steps as shown in the instruction video. How do I know I got a good seal ?
Also, someone suggested in other thread that should let seal rest for more couple more second on the sealing bar.
2) I could not find VacMouse anywhere in the deliver package. 🙁 Since I have already started the dry age process, and put the meat in the bag, is there other anyway to vacuum without using the VacMouse?
I tried last night without a VacMouse, I was not able to get good seals and many air pocket in the bag. I tried to let the meat to have much contact with the dry bag as possible. I am kind of worry that I would waste beef. Therefore, I will try to re-do the sealing again tonight after you guys suggestions. Hope everything will go smooth this time.
Thank you
