Making Salami in a House Fridge - Is it even worth it?

Welcome back everyone. We get lots of requests for videos that show the procfess of making salami in a house fridge. Normally this isn't possible but Umai Dry makes a product that claims it can do that very thing. Today we are testing this product and pitting it against the traditional way of making salami to see if the end result is even worth the trouble.

@jeromemartucci111 4 жыл бұрын

Some advice I can offer you and your audience. After you Salumi (Or other Charcuterie) reaches the desired weight loss, remove it from the UMAi bag and vacuum seal it using a traditional vacuum sealer. By doing so the finished product will maintain its moist consistency. Thanks Again for the Posts.

Thanks Eric. I have seen the UMAI product and use it for dry aging roasts, If not for this video I wasn't prepared to venture into this. Made my first batch of the Salami, kept a weekly weight log and tasted my first sample today. Fantastic. Results were better than I expected. Again, thank you.

I totally agree to your comments that the spice blends are surprisingly good. As you now know a Curing Chamber Isn’t needed to creat some great Charcuterie using UMAi products. I was tempted to try the Salumi (using the UMAi Kit) and now your video just sealed the deal for me, I’m definitely gonna make some Salumi along with a Bresaola using the UMAi Kits. You guys are the Best! Thanks again for your comment to this art, keep the posts coming...

I have tried to get the UMAI bags but, it would cost me about $150 to get them to try. I live in the Philippines and right now the post office is shut down so no deliveries. Have you or anybody watching this video tried regular plastic bags for this? I re-made a refrigerator into a curing chamber but, here the only controllers come from China and are not accurate at all. I had 2, one for a humidifier and 1 for a de-humidifier and the controls never kept the humidity correct. Here the humidity is very high so it is extremely difficult to try to get it under control.

Especially as a complete beginner.

Interesting video! So salami doesn’t need the right humidity level of chamber to Come out well as the salami in the fridge you did didn’t have humidity control. Obviously the right humidity makes it better but seems ok in the fridge. I’ve done salami in the shed and I’ve cured small cuts of steaks in the fridge and I have a theory, if the meat is in the fridge a short time it can come out ok, if takes longer it really needs a chamber or in the shed in winter. Thicker pieces of meat can struggle in the fridge to dry all the way in the centre. Obviously chamber is better but fridge definitely can definitely do the job on some level. What’s your thoughts on this?

I don't really want to have to buy multiple gadgets and all this specialized stuff. Is there any change you could do a video (or videos) on how it was done in the old days? Let's face it, our ancestors preserved meat this way because they didn't have refrigeration, etc. I'd like to learn those skills.

@2guysandacooler Жыл бұрын

Hey Paul, curing meat like this was traditionally only done in the winter months and in places of the world where the conditions were appropriate for drying. It's the reason Hawaii or Costa Rica doesn't have salami. So unless you live in an area that has a decent winter and you have a basement or cellar that has moderate temps (around 55f) and a high humidity (75%), you will need special equipment.

Am I the only one wondering who keeps their house at 75.5'F??? Even 70 is too hot for me.

To be fair, I’ve been making salami in my basement and, before that, my fridge. It is absolutely possible to make all types of cured meats without any special equipment, starter cultures or nitrates.

Of course it's possible, but you are playing with fire when it comes to safety. Being cavalier with this process is very irresponsible. There are many people who are learning how to cure meats at home for the first time and there's a decent chance they will be sharing their cured meats with friends, neighbors, and family. It is much better to instruct someone on how to cure meats at home safely and correctly so that the product they produce will be 100% safe to eat.

@@2guysandacooler I know the risks, but my family has been curing meats for generations. None of us have been harmed in any way by it. I appreciate your commitment to safety, though for those that haven’t had the same level of experience.
