reheating a brisket, no oven or smoker.

boogiesnap · 11-22-2011, 09:01 AM

hi guys, i have a brisket i smoked over the week-end, un-sliced. i would like to reheat it and serve it warm for sammiches.

where i will be i will have either a crockpot/slowcooker thing or a microwave as options.

any suggestions?

The microwave would be a no no,it would cook the meat internally, I would put it in the slow cooker until it warms up to temp, and add a little broth or other liquid. like , let's see....maybe a beer?

I always vacuum seal then throw in boiling water or microwave

When my wife takes our comp leftovers to work we cube the brisket and put it in a crock pot. It's not traditional sliced brisket, but everyone loves it.

Twinsfan was warned not use a slow cooker to reheat pulled pork for a fundraiser (http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=118245), why are people suggesting that it is OK to do it here?

I have just sliced it up put in a pot with beef stock and if one likes sauce some of that. Kind of like what they do with Italian beef.

I have heated a piece or 2 in the microwave and it tasted good. Whole bunches may be different.

This. By far the best way. I find that if I slice and then seal, when i finally re-heat in water, there is virtually no quality degradation. However, I don't boil the water, I bring it up to just under a boil (any bubbles and I turn it down), just until the meat is heated through.

ehhh ya know what... everyone is against el microwavo, but in reality... sometimes my BBQ tastes even better and is more juicy out of hte mico. i slice up my brisket and throw some slices in the micro and even dry brisket comes out juicy for some reason.

i reheat my pulled pork all the time in hte micro. always juicy as ever. i dont do a lot. i grab a handful, microwave it for 20-30 seconds tops, and then just throw it on a bun. tastes amazing.

+1 for slicing cold. Then portion and vacusuck. To reheat, just placed portioned, sealed pouches in boiling water for a bit to reheat. All the moisture is contained in the bag and it heats at 212*

can a slow cooker heat the food quick enough to get it out of the danger zone?

stephan · 11-22-2011, 11:55 AM

I have always had my left overs vacuum sealed, frozen and when its time to heat up just throw the bag in the boiling water for a while till its warm

For those that say it's not ok to reheat in a slow cooker, I have a question. Why is it ok for me to pull a roast out of the fridge in the morning, put it in my slow cooker on low and go to work; and come back 9 hours later and be fine; but it's not ok to reheat something in it?

I'm genuinely curious what the difference is.

Perhaps the issue was that he was going to be cooking for the general public, not just his family at home. Get your family sick, no lawsuit. Get the public sick, big trouble.
