Since 2017, the DRY AGER has been an essential tool in my kitchen. From water buffalo, beef, and pork to ham and salami – I’ve aged a wide variety of meats to perfection. Switching to SmartAging technology further increased my satisfaction, as it offers even more precise control and delivers top-tier results. For me, a DRY AGER isn’t just a piece of equipment – it’s a guarantee of flavor and quality at the highest level.

For me, the DRY AGER Aging Cabinet is the perfect finisher for high-quality meat. Dry aging delivers outstanding results for my grilling recipes. My personal favorites in the DRY AGER include Boston butt from pork and beef cuts from the loin, such as porterhouse or club steak. Wild game sausages are also among my top highlights.

The DRY AGER is the only way to make our meat even better. We age our Schergengruber Wagyu in these top-tier units and have found: there’s no alternative! We’re proud to have found a partner in Landig who shares our commitment to quality and delivers exactly what we’ve always envisioned.

I’ve already aged several (half) beef loins. The handling is incredibly easy – the unit takes care of everything on its own. The meat becomes exceptionally tender and fully meets my expectations.

My DRY AGER Aging Cabinet has been in use for nearly a year now and has exceeded all expectations. The best result so far was with roast beef aged for 75 days. I always follow the recommended programs from the “Bible” and have never been disappointed. Even though it’s a significant investment, I would choose to buy it again without hesitation. Thank you for this outstanding piece of equipment.

  • DRY AGER® is the world’s leading brand in professional aging cabinets, with a service and distribution network in over 50 countries.
  • The Landig Group, owner of the DRY AGER brand, brings over 40 years of experience in meat processing, storage, and refrigeration.
  • German-made, handcrafted quality at an excellent price-performance ratio.
  • The integrated SmartAging® technology offers a completely new level of dry aging – no prior knowledge required.

    Beef: After 4 weeks only approx. 8–10% | After 6 weeks only approx. 12%
    Pork: After 3 weeks only approx. 8–10%
  • Other dry aging units, based on internal tests, can have up to 3x higher moisture loss, which makes a noticeable difference in cost.
2. Is a DRY AGER Aging Cabinet Really Worth It for Home Use?

Yes, absolutely – especially for meat lovers and ambitious home chefs. If you regularly enjoy high-quality dry-aged beef or homemade cured meats, you’ll save a significant amount over time compared to buying from the butcher. Dry-aged steaks can cost up to three times more than conventional cuts. With the DRY AGER Aging Cabinet, you stay in full control of the aging level, quality, and hygiene – all from the comfort of your home.

3. What Types of Food Can I Age at Home in the DRY AGER Aging Cabinet?

The DRY AGER Aging Cabinet is highly versatile. In addition to beef, you can also age pork, game, poultry, fish, sausage, ham, and even cheese – all under perfect conditions. Thanks to SmartAging® technology and fully automated aging programs, operation is incredibly easy – even for beginners.

4. Is Dry Aging in the DRY AGER Aging Cabinet Suitable for Beginners?
  • Yes – thanks to SmartAging® technology, getting started is easy. Our units are intentionally designed to be user-friendly, featuring an intuitive control panel.
  • Detailed, step-by-step guidance is provided in The Dry Aging Bible, which explains the entire dry aging process down to the last detail. It also includes helpful information on program selection and aging recipes.
  • And if any questions remain, our knowledgeable customer support team – made up of dry aging experts – is always happy to help.
5. How Time-Consuming Are Cleaning and Maintenance?

The DRY AGER Aging Cabinet is designed with easy cleaning in mind. Its geometry allows for effortless hygiene, and the integrated SmartAging® pre-cleaning program automatically runs after each aging cycle – ensuring optimal conditions for your next batch.

When it comes to maintenance, the DRY AGER also stands out:
Only once a year (with continuous use), the activated carbon filter and UVC bulb need to be replaced to maintain full sterilization efficiency. The unit will notify you via display when service is due. Both components can be quickly and easily replaced by the user. More details can be found in the user manual.

6. Which Cabinet Size Is Right for Me?

For home use, we recommend the DX 500 Premium S – our best-selling model for private households. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for smaller spaces, and it can even be seamlessly integrated into a kitchen cabinet as a built-in unit.

If you plan to age larger quantities on a regular basis, the DX 1000 Premium S might be the better choice. With a capacity of up to 100 kg, it offers maximum flexibility – while still allowing you to age smaller batches when needed.

7. Can the Unit Be Operated Without the Dry Aging Bible?
  • Absolutely – the DRY AGER Premium S models can be used without the Dry Aging Bible. All essential information about the aging programs is included in the supplied user manual.
  • However, we strongly recommend using the book. It presents all key information in a clear and accessible way, and offers a wealth of inspiration to help you get more creative with your aging projects.
  • The Dry Aging Bible includes an impressive collection of aging recipes for beef, pork, game, goat, poultry, fish, salami, sausage, ham, special programs, and even matching cooking recipes. There’s something for everyone – it’s truly not to be missed.
  • With over 300 pages, the Dry Aging Bible is the definitive global reference on dry aging. Covering everything from fundamentals and product knowledge to hands-on practice, SmartAging® recipes, chef creations, and scientific insights – it answers all your questions in one comprehensive volume.
8. Do I Need a High-Voltage Power Connection?

No, the DRY AGER Aging Cabinet does not require a high-voltage power connection. Both the DX 500 Premium S and the DX 1000 Premium S run on a standard 220–240 V / 50 Hz outlet – just like any household appliance. Simply plug it in and start aging!
