Keeping brisket
Will be serving a Turkey and a brisket on Saturaday afternoon. The wife
always insists on pulling the bird when the folks arrive. So tha means cooking the brisket first. If I elect to do it a few days a head, do I slice it up and store in bags or keep it whole in the fridge. I'd certainly wrap it tight in lots of plastic in the fridge. Reheating seems to be real issue. H E L P !! |

Reheating seems to be real issue. I would wrap it in plastic as you describe, the a few hours before you want to serve it, remove the plastic and wrap it in foil, then heat it in a roaster oven on low. |

Keep it whole and slice it after reheating, which should be done slowly on a low power in the microwave, I guess. You could cut it into smaller sized pieces so the reheating might not take as long, but if you slice it all up and then reheat it its gonna dry out way to much. If you started cookin' it on Friday, ya could pull it on Sat mornin' and wrap it in foil and a towel and stick it in a cooler until dinner time. This would keep it not only moist but hot, too, until you are ready to slice it. -- Fosco Gamgee Whitfurrows and his 6" boner |

Looking at anywhere from 7 to 14 pounds of brisket to reheat. I suspect a restaurant would heat a platter and then placed freshly sliced brisket on it and place under infra red lights for awhile. I'd guess you could get the same effect with a broiler, but I wouldn't try it for the first time with guests pounding up the driveway. How do restaurants reheat rib roast? They sure don't cook it from scratch after a customer orders it. I've had some pretty good 'Prime' ribs, but I don't know how they do it and still be able to serve it pink in the middle. It ain't PC, but pray. -- Brick(DL5BF, WA7ERO, HS4ADI) ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =----- |

Love my foodsaver..Discovered you can use the bags in boiling water or microwave (but in the micro you have to be careful as the bag will blow up) I have been using my foodsaver for years and wouldn't be without it.

We buy beef by the 1/2 and pork by the side. I'd be lost without the Tilia. Or I probably should say, our meat would be lost without it. For warming up things like meats I usually use the water method. For me, it's easier to just warm it rather than continuing to cook it. -- Steve Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dogs face they get mad at you but when you take them for a ride in the car they stick their head out of the window? |

I'll just add that when I want to re-heat I'll package in vacuum bags and just re-heat in the bags in boiling water. Even if I don't freeze. Simple, fairly quick and the meat won't dry out. BOB |
