A simple alternative to RPP’s fantastic raft to ease the job of drawing the air out and getting sufficient contact between the meat and DrybagSteak material is to take a small straw (think coffee stirrer), cut off two one inch pieces with an angle on one end, insert the angled end into each side of the retractable snorkel, when the snorkel retracts after you’ve drawn out the air and sealed the opening, these two assists will stay inside while you age and you can discard them with the material afterward. Just one more little trick to try.
