Is Brown Kraft Paper OK For Brisket?

[104timberwolf]

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.

Bludawg,

In a pinch.

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:becky:

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!
