Boy, does that look fantastic Rick. Well done.

Point for sure

BTW: What's the difference between an Umai bag and a regular vacuum sealer bag. Asking for a friend.
The UMAI bag is porous and lets the meat dry in a controlled manner.

Thanks Chris . It;s hard to stop eating it once you start .

The Umai bags are for making a dry cured product in the fridge . They let the moisture escape and keep the air out . No need for a curing chamber . They sell the sausage casings too .

So then it's not actually vacuum sealed?
Yes and no . Air is sucked out and the end of the bag is sealed . Just not for the same reason as you would for storage . The bags are a different material and thinner .

So it's porous, but maintains the vacuum somehow?

Looks amazing chop.
Thanks bud .
My tight-A$$ might have to break down and get some cushions and UMAI bags.
It's fun , give it a shot . I checked Gordon's last Thursday . Cushions are up to $1.99 a pound . Average bag size is 15 pounds . 5 per bag . I use it for sausage and makes a good roast too .
 
Some Tillamook aged vintage white cheddar with that would be a very happy place. Very nice work!
Thank you sir . My Son is the Dairy manager at a local grocery . I just happen to have some Tillamook on hand .

Yup . Nesco FS-250 . I bought it after Pop's recommended it . Hollow ground serrated blade makes a paper thin slice .
Thanks for the comments .

As usual looks fantastic Rich! If you want an idea, how about side by side UMAI bag VS 2 layers pink BP.
