For example, most golf cart batteries are rated for about 550 cycles to 50% discharge-which equates to about 2 years. Battery life is directly related to how deep the battery is cycled each time. If a battery is discharged to 50% every day, it will last about twice as long as if it is cycled to 80% DOD.
It's hard to reproduce the taste and texture of a dry-aged meat, perfectly grilled by a great steak house. The steak house has three advantages over the home cook. They have access to well-marbled meat that few butchers stock. They sear the steak above 800F, much higher than available in a typical kitchen oven or on most grills. And the steak is aged for two to four weeks, drying the meat, concentrating juices and most importantly, allowing controlled decay to produce deep, iconic flavors. But with a little work, we can match 2 1/2 of these 3 advantages. First, start with the steak.
Once upon a time you could go to your corner butcher and buy an aged USDA prime cut of beef. If you have had a good, aged steak, you know it is more tender and flavorful than what you typically buy in the store.The reason for this is that aging allows natural enzymes to break down the hard connective tissue in meats and for water to evaporate away concentrating the flavor.Dry Aging.ctually only a few of the finest restaurants buy aged beef. Many in fact, have taken to aging their own beef. This can be a risky job if you don't know what you are doing and I strongly suggest a good sense of smell to anyone who tries it. If your aged meat doesn't smell right, throw it out.
