Is Brown Kraft Paper OK For Brisket?

104timberwolf · 03-07-2014, 11:07 AM

Found a small roll of butcher paper @ Hobby Lobby but its coated on one side. Really don't have a need for a huge roll of Sam's butcher paper but don't want to screw up the investment of $$$ and time.

Thanks!

You don't want a coated paper.

If it was me, I would smell it. Personally, I don't like the brown paper, it smells bad to me, worse once it gets wet.

Like BD stated, you don't want coated.

I don't have a Sam's in my town, so I asked a friend to buy me a roll in Vegas if he was going past Sams. He texted me that he bought a couple for me. I didn't read it until later that day and about shyte myself. I told him I appreciated him getting it for me, and if he was close by Sam's again he could return one.

He let me know he was joking...funny guy

Kraft is fine if not coated. Most coatings are wax or poly and occasionally aqueous. While okay to store food in these coatings, I wouldn't experiement with cooking.

Brown paper that smalls funky when wet probably came from a recycle mill and is made of post consumer waste (the old corrugated containers you see bundled together behind wal mart). These are mostly FDA approved, but it's a different FDA rating than that given to virgin fiber. The furnish at some recycle mills is pretty suspect and I would't use it. If you see a lot of black and white specks in the sheet, it is probably recycled board.

I purchased brown (food grade) craft paper from amazon.

I tore a piece off the roll and chewed on it a while. No unpleasant taste or odor. Going to taste even better soaked in brisket fat!
