Kosher Dosher...“I am a culinary Heretic"

 I've been writing about and experimenting with Low Temp Aging (Warm-Aging), for a few years. However, years before writing about this method, I used Low-Temp-Aging after reading about it in Modernist Cuisine. In the MC books, which were written in 2011, the Warm-Aging process is not directly addressed but is kind of spread out over the books.  In this post, I will not give you all the background on this method, but if you want  to, you can read about it   HERE  and  HERE .

One's sincerity is not enough, and the notion that there is the only way to do something permeates our sense of right and wrong.  The prompting for this Blog-post comes from a place of annoyance. People will often post suggestions for Time  (I don't care about the temps)   and often never consider the thickness of the protein. Temperature choice is generally not a concer...
