Guys
Another question what is the differences between a brisket flat and a brisket. Why is a brisket flat used for braised brisket and what is a braised brisket.
( Repaired cast iron by using brass rod and flux) never braised a brisket, still time to learn.
It's a wasted day if we don't learn something new.
Thanks
A full packer brisket that is usually smoked contains the point (which is the super tender part) and the flat which is a bit less tender and can be dry). The flat is sold separately in supermarkets and is commonly used for braised brisket which I mention below.
When you braise your brisket you have to set your torch just right.
Just joking! Braised brisket is cooked in the oven in a deep pan with liquid and vegetables.
Here is a video on how to braise a brisket. https://youtu.be/5zZB302gyfo
He used a full packer brisket, usually you use the flat from the supermarket which is usually around 4 to 6 lb.
