Brisket Price PSA

[celis]

My Kroger in Garland has brisket at 97 cents/lb.

They on the large size. Smallest I saw was 14 lbs. The biggest was 23 lbs.

It's here in Houston, too, at least at the new Kroger on Rayford in Spring.

$0.99 / lb in Dallas proper--- had them dig out a 9.5 lb'er from the back.

Throwing it on the pit tonight.

Alas, the nearest store to Austin is in Collie Station.

Brisket question.

Last year I did a brisket for Memorial Day.
Problem was, I started it the night before Memorial Day. So when the festivities were "kicking off," I was tired as hell.

Let's just say I do it a day early. What's the best way to do that. Let it cool and then stick it in the fridge?

Memorial Day, heat it up in the oven?

Thanks

 

[celis]

Yes, it will warm up in the oven just fine.

New flyer says Tom Thumb in Dallas will have Rancher's Reserve untrimmed briskets on sale for $0.99/lb for Memorial Day weekend.

Randall's has the Ranchers Reserve for $0.99/lb here in Austin with a Randall's Card. Saw it in their flyer this morning in the paper.

That's what you get for living in New York City... !

 

[Math Mudrat]

Well, Long Island, a couple hours away from New York ******.

They do have lots of corned beef briskets that are up to 5 pounds, but they are all pre-marinated in some crap and supposed to be pot roast (the traditional Jewish dish).

You know how to choose one? Pick it up and bend it. If it bends easily then it probably does not have a 3" fat layer. You do want them to have fat, but you don't want to buy 6# of fat on a 12# brisket.

I went to the store to pick one up the other night -- "Angus cut" briskets were $3.49/lb. I bought the $1.49/lb version.

WTH is Angus cut?

[celis]

It means it came from a black cow.

 

[NCAAFBALLROX]

CostCo @ MoPac / William Cannon last night: $ 1.78 per lb. & averaging 13 to 14 lbs. each.

 

[BNB]
