Re:Traveling with Dry Aged Roast

Ok but you still need to get to the airport and on. In a car with the windows closed for more than ten minutes is a safety concern with dry ice. Also the airport may have limits on the amount of dry ice you can bring so you are going to need to purchase the ice as close to the departure time as convenient. Most airlines will not let you carry more than 2 kilograms or 4.4 pounds without special arrangements. Dry ice will also sublimate more quickly due to the lower pressure that the airline maintains during flight. It may only last a few hours if your lucky. Plan to get ice as soon as you get off the plane. Lastly I would be worried about continuing with the aging process after bringing the bag to subzero temps. It may loose it’s bond and also may split or crack. If you have to bring it then I would recommend trimming the night before your departure and storing your new 28 day aged beef.

Enjoy!
