Strange, the difference between flash and not.

No Flash

Flash used here

Those are some great looking briskets there, Joe. And that flash is very color revealing! So do they look more brown or more red to the naked eye?

Thanks Arlin, Actually I 'd say to the eye it is right in between the two.

Way to go Joe, Briskets are looking very good.

Joe, your making me very hungry and I just finished lunch.

 

[bbqjoe]

Just for fun, decided to do a weigh out. 82 lbs uncooked.
60 lbs cooked. appx 1/4 loss in weight.
I knew it was somewhere around there, but never took the time to really see.

Don't forget to take into account the trimmed fat.

Those are some very nice briskets.

Like Mista, I find the shrinkage to be higher once you start trimming to server. I've found 40-50% normal and have had some big/fat briskets to go as high as 60% shrinkage/waste.

Brisket is good eats but not especially cheap. $.99 per pound raw can become $1.98 per pound at the table real quick. I haven't seen brisket around here (packers) under $1.49-1.69 in a long time.

That's why some places will sell it at a premium AND call it 'extra moist'. Did I mention they charge extra for it too?

You don't want to know what I get for it.
But people love it so much they don't even flinch at the price.
