Brisket
Ok, lurking and learning, I smoked my first brisket - packer cut, as you
have taught me well. Two questions: I have about a pint of liquid drippings (not fat). What is a good use for this? It seems it should not be wasted. How should the brisket be sliced? I see I can trim off gobs of fat/collagen from the outside, but at the point end there is a lot "on the inside". I cut that portion sideways and removed it, then had two pieces of meat (top and bottom) which I sliced up for serving. I hope you can picture what I mean. Any thoughts? Oh, it was fabulous!!! |

Or you could chop some of your leftover brisket and make chili and add the liquid. Freeze it if you can't use it right away. Grant |

Keep an eye out to follow the grain as it moves along the way. > I see I can trim off gobs of fat/collagen from the outside, but at the > point end there is a lot "on the inside".

The muscle is joined there and is a cross grain making it difficult to slice any other way. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome/ |
