I may have to rethink my New year's Eve menu. Was planning on a 12# brisket, but I haven't done a PR in a few weeks.
Got a 14lb'er in the freezer, now to convince the wife. She loves brisket. Lol
Mowin, I'm guessing your wife is gonna be thrilled either way as long as you are the one donning the oven mitts. I'm a pretty good cook (I "man" the smoker at our house) but brisket is my Achilles heel. No one can ruin a beef brisket faster than I. I should just set fire to a fifty dollar bill instead -- it requires less effort and the outcome is the same.
I love my husband but I can forget about him partaking in this manly art. His IQ hovers around 170 but he repeatedly feigns ignorance when it comes to operating the microwave. "Methinks he doth protest too much".
Lol. Thanks for the confidence in my brisket abilities. Wife likes things cooked. AKA, over done. Brisket is one cut that has to be "overdone", well kinda, to come out juice and tender. PM me and I'll walk you through a fool proof brisket.
