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.
Ever wonder why dry aged steaks cost so much more? Itâs because dry aging is much more expensive and takes longer than wet aging. Fun Meat Fact #3: Meat which is dry aged is hung in a very clean, temperature and humidity controlled cooler for a period of two to four weeks. An inedible crust forms on the outside from moisture being lost and it often includes mold which must be trimmed off and discarded.
