Studio Edition
Steak Locker Studio
Compact Dry Aging Refrigerator — Countertop
The most compact way into real dry aging — the same obsessive build in a countertop footprint. Single-zone, 304 stainless steel, dedicated to doing one job properly: dry aging beef, poultry, pork, and fish.
Smaller footprint. Same craft. Not a compromise — just less of it.

The Craft, Made Compact
Studio is the entry point into controlled dry aging — and it earns the name. The same 304 stainless build and the same obsession over the environment, in a single-zone countertop cabinet that fits practically any space.
It holds a stable, controlled climate for the life of every program — the difference between aging a steak in the back of a fridge and aging it in a machine built for the job. Temperature and humidity stay where you set them, so pellicle forms cleanly and moisture loss stays predictable, cut after cut.
Half the size. All the Steak Locker.
Real Aging — in a Countertop Footprint
One Controlled Zone, 34–50°F
A single, precisely-held temperature zone across the full 34–50°F range — built for one job: dry aging. Charcuterie, curing, and cheese need their own dedicated humidity and airflow settings and belong on the Home or Professional Edition G5.
Controlled Humidity & Airflow
Managed humidity and steady circulation keep the environment even across the cabinet — no stagnant pockets, no guesswork. The conditions that make safe, repeatable dry aging possible, held for you around the clock.
304 Stainless, Chef-Built
The same food-grade 304 stainless steel and the same build standard as every Steak Locker. Compact doesn’t mean cheap — it means considered.
Real Savings
Studio safely holds your favourite premium cuts and delivers savings of up to 75% versus dry-aged product from a restaurant or butcher. The craft pays for itself.
Monitoring — Your Way
Studio runs its aging environment on its own, no app required. When you want eyes on it from your phone, the companion monitoring app (our legacy G4 system) is available separately — live temperature and humidity, wherever you are.
Want the full built-in G5 Smart App with active remote control of every parameter? That lives on the Home and Professional Edition G5.
Ready for more range?
The Home Edition G5 opens the full 34–72°F range, adds the built-in G5 Smart App with active remote control, a 3-year warranty, and 65 lb capacity.
The Real Story
We invented this category — US Patent 11,006,657, the first smart connected dry aging system, built by chefs for people who take aging seriously.
Early units had real problems. The hardware aged protein reliably; the software connecting it didn’t. Those reviews are accurate — and they’re about machines we no longer build. We reengineered the platform from the ground up, informed by ten years and 8,500 units of real aging data.
We built the first decade on invention. We’re building the next one on obsession — the same one that started this in a kitchen, not a boardroom.

Questions people actually ask
Does Studio need an app to run?
No. Studio holds its aging environment on its own. If you want to check temperature and humidity from your phone, the legacy G4 monitoring app is available separately — it's monitoring only, not the active remote control the G5 Smart App gives Home and Pro.
What's the difference between Studio and Home Edition G5?
Studio tops out at 50°F with no built-in app; Home Edition G5 runs the full 34–72°F range with the built-in G5 Smart App, humidity control up to 98% RH, and a 3-year warranty versus Studio's 1-year.
How much meat does it hold?
30 lbs in a 2.65 cu. ft. countertop footprint — sized for a serious home cook running one or two programs at a time, not a full-scale operation.
What's the warranty and who do I call if something's wrong?
1 year, parts and labour. Call or text Chef Rick or Chef Claus directly at 619-888-9108 — not a phone tree.
