Dry-aging cabinets and bags, compared

Cabinets for aging steak at home, from countertop units to full-height ones, and membrane bags that work in a regular refrigerator. Each cabinet lists the maker’s stated meat capacity, its temperature range, how it handles humidity, and the voltage it runs on; each bag pack lists its price per bag and the largest cut it takes.

Every cabinet and bag in the catalog

Filter by maker, type, price, how humidity is handled, where it can be installed and whether the maker states a US voltage.

Lists built from the catalog, each saying what it ranks on

Dry-aging cabinets with active humidity control

17 qualifying

Included when the maker describes hardware that holds a humidity set-point the owner chooses. A salt block, a water tray or a hygrometer readout does not count. Ordered by price.

Dry-aging cabinets that can be built in

18 qualifying

Included when the maker says the cabinet may be built in. How it vents differs: some are rated zero-clearance, others need ventilation shafts or an open plinth, and each page quotes the maker's install note. Ordered by price.

Dry-aging cabinets under $2,000

6 qualifying

Cabinets with a maker or US-distributor list price under $2,000. Ordered by price. Prices are approximate.

Dry-aging cabinets with the largest meat capacity

20 qualifying

Ordered by the maker's own stated maximum meat load in pounds, largest first. Interior litres are not used: two cabinets of the same volume can hold very different loads. Cabinets with no stated load are left out.
