Would this work for aging beef in one container without effecting the other containers?

Asked by: Lamplighter1
Regrettably, we are not experts on the process of aging beef and recommend that you look up aging beef guides online for assistance. The ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 7.6 cu. ft. Capacity Kimchi/Specialty Food Refrigerator Chest, LKIM08121V does have a storage button that you can use for Meat/Fish storage which is designed to keep meat and fish fresh at your desired temperature. It will work as well as any other refrigerator in that regard...^IFV
