That is not fair,we don't have Krogers here in Socal only Ralphs and their Camel does'nt dry age well.Good luck on the meat it will be good!!
GOOD EATS AND GOOD FRIENDS
DALE -
Camel??? :laugh: You ain't rite!Thanks for the well wishes.
-
That is the mentality of the Ralphs butchers,they have a hard time with their cuts.

I would be happy to send you one,but I ain't sure the shipping would be worth it. :(
-
Our Kroger (King Sooper) has it on "Sale" for $5.99 when I was there yesterday.
-
Our Kroger has it on sale from Wednesday til next Tuesday for $4.97.Their name is Kroger,I'm not sure of other chains or other names for the Kroger chain.This is in the MidSouth,near Memphis.
-
Appreciate it,I shop at Resturant Depot and love their product! I have to say that if I hope to build their other stores. They do have a great meat buyer.

Thanks for the heads-up! For some reason I didn't get the ad in the newspaper, but Kroger in AZ (Fry's) has 'em for $3.97. Gonna have to get me some
-
LOAD UP!!! ;)Make sure you check the "tail" the hard meat at the back.I went through about 30 before I found 2 good ones.

Dale:
Ralphs IS Kroger, at least here in San Diego, as is Food 4 Less, the economy version of Ralphs, and the latter's "store" brand is Kroger.

Hoss, I said it before, and I'll say it again...You Da Man! Momeo has to know that only the world's best Dadeo would think of an aged prime rib roast for Valentine's Day dinner. And he does the cooking, too...right? And the dishes, I hope.
Miss JudyJudy in San Diego -
You got THAT right Miss J!
-
Wish we had a Kroger's!
-
Looks great. Excuse my ignorance. Can you please explain dry aging I've heard of it but don't know how it works. Thanks
-
Hey Hoss, Sounds like you got $449.98 value. It looks like you got around 62 pounds of beef. Looks like around $7.18 a pound off sale. All around a great deal.
Someone you know left some ribeyes on the searing grid last night and made some coal.
You stay up late. The sand man calls me at least by 10:pm or i'll turn into a fat cap for a Boston Butt. :unsure:
Looks like we my have a couple more snow events coming our way. Possibly over night tonight and next Wednesday. Don't look too bad. -
No Kroger here, but when I find one I always stock up on their powdered worcestershire sauce. Great on steaks and chex party mix as well as in rubs.
-
hoss, it will be good. my observation is the steaks definitly cook faster so watch em. they seem to be more tender and the flavor is richer. the only thing i dont like is the dry hard edge. some folk like it though. when i do the next one, i'll age it for only 2 weeks. let us know...
-
Stupid question, but what should one be looking for, when looking at the tail, that you had to go through so many to find two that you were happy with?BJ (Powhatan, VA)

i'm putting on my broken record to play just for you:
i always recommend buying dry aged beef before dry aging yourself....
just don't ruin it by trimming. the best part is the outer rind.ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
my suggestion is to wet age....
same flavors added by the enzyme action, same tenderness, just not the condensing of the beef and fat thru water loss.
it's ok not to like dry aged beef. sounds like you prefer aged, but WET aged. just keep it in the package.ed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
I need to make a trip down to Krogers
-
Curious how the dry aging goes. I have never tried it myself but love the flavor of dry aged beef.
-
i may try that sometime. something about leaving it closed up in a package just kinda makes me think it's growing unwanted bacteria.
-
let me ask you a question, and i don't mean this to be antagonistic... what does taking it out of the package do?
if bacteria's there, it's there whether it is in the package or out of the package. what keeps it from growing in both cases is the temperature.
funny thing is, there are as many people afraid to take it OUT of the package because they think bacteria will grow if it is unwrapped.
despite the hundreds of threads dry aging has had here, and the painful in-depth explanation, it always amazes me when folks do it without knowing why/what/how. no one should be guessing when it comes to bacteria and meated egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -
It is the HARD fat on the thin side of the roast.Some if them have up to 1/3 hard fat.
-
I just put a large piece of the roast in the fridge and leave it 21-??? however many days to age.Some use dryage bags.I do not.It lets some of the water evaporate and supposedly concentrates the beef flavor.This is my first one so that's all I know.
-
That's why I have the small one as a guinnea pig.It was leftover from christmas.If it is good,I'll do one of these,if not I'll cut n freeze.
-
well....
might be nice to have had something to compare too.
how are you gonna know whether it turned out correctly?
