Cooking Meat - brisket


Expert: Keith Patton - 7/24/2009

Question
I'M COOKING A 19LB. BRISKET IN THE OVEN. WHAT TEMP SHOULD I USE AND ABOUT HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE?

Answer
Considering that you don't know anything about I-net ettiquette (typing in all caps it considered yelling or screaming) you are lucking I answered at all.  Sorry if I didn't answer within the time frame you expected, but my life does not revolve around answering simpletons questions.  I do it as a favor, not as a vocation.


I generally use 200F and cook it for a good 6 hours or longer, until a fork goes in effortlessly.
Place in a foil or baking pan and cover tightly with foil.  Make sure you use a good brisket rub and coat generously.  After cooking, you can finish on a smoker if you like.  I generally cook mine over night at the temperature above, they will stay moist as they produce a lot of fat and juice that the meat will be sitting in.  Be sure to trim a little of the heavy fat off the outside.  Leave about 1/2 inch of fat. Place the meat fat side up in the pan.
