Brisket Flat ,Flat question
Got a full Brisket from costco and it has a thin Flat, thinnest I have seen.
Now, as a person who does not Chase bark, could I fold the flat over on itself to stop it Overshooting or should I trim it Off?

At least you'll have trimmings for chili.

could have ground it up for a burger :) , I would have folded but cutntuck will work the same way. Seen $65 for a few yesterday and thought I'd like to grind for burgers but not at that price per lbs

I am starting to see more and more of these super thin flats. Would love to see and hear how it comes out!

It is getting hard to find a packer with a good flat. If there are none on display I ask the butchers if they have more in the back.
I'm not an expert on meat cutting - is there a more expensive cut that butchers are slimming the flat down to get more of?

Titch we get piles of those thin flats in the catering business when we open up cases of packers, our solution with a cooker full of them is to keep an eye on the IT* of the thin flat end and wrap about 1/3 of it in foil once it reaches 140*.
From there you can finish it any way you like but it preserves the quality of the thin areas keeping it moist and tender.

I still see about the same mix of thin and thick flats at Sam's/Costo....for every one wide thick flat there are 3 or 4 thin ones. Seems about the way it's always been in my neck of the woods. If there's only 5 or 6 in the bin you might not find a good one, but when they're well stocked I can usually find a couple I like.

I have been getting competition briskets from a local meat wholesaler and have been getting nice flats. This is our brisket from a couple of weeks ago. It is sitting in a hotel pan for reference.

Interesting read. I’ve been seeing a rash of thin flat packers too. I either select the best in the cast or more often than not just wait for a better packer. Maybe I’ll try this tip.
