Holding pork belly burnt ends??

[ETOH]

Afternoon plans changed.... brisket and burnt ends are done, but friends aren’t coming for another 5 hours.

I’m not worried about holding the brisket, but what is best to do with pork belly burnt ends? Haven’t glazed/sauced them yet.

I’d rather not cool and reheat, thinking of covered foil pan at 160 in the warmer of my oven... Just didn’t know if they’d dry out.

At 160 I don't THINK you'd have a problem with them drying out, but I could be wrong. That's a long time to hold.

I was mainly going to add that I'm glad you haven't sauced them yet. That's usually the part where I see them go from 'amazing' to 'lump charcoal' when I cook for family events, I always get it right up to that stage, and tell them I'll need to finish in their oven/grill. So, good call on waiting on that part.

Thanks, I’ve got em in the warmer... I have unfortunately been performing routine quality checks to ensure they are still good. I may have a new problem... at the rate the wife, kids and I are checking quality, they may not last long enough for company to have any :icon_blush:

That sounds like a 'them' problem, and not a 'you' problem!

If I REALLY needed to hold pork belly burnt ends for 5 hours, I'd need someone to lock them in a safe that I didn't know the combination for!

I like to hold them between my thumb and forefinger.

I cooked pb burnt ends today. Hurried the cook because rain was coming. Got done 2 hours early. I think I ate a 3rd before dinner.

A third (as in your third one) or 1/3rd?

mmmmm, pork-belly burnt ends. Just made some yesterday. Am I the only one who does these just with salt and pepper? I'm watching my waistline and can do without all those extra calories from the sauce. :laugh:

I've never eaten just 3. I meant 1/3 or .33. :doh:

They hold fine. I've done it many times.
