Want this question answered?
I put about a half a pound on my plate. I like brisket... a lot... therefore, a lot of brisket, please.
When deciding how much meat to include in a meal, consider other side dishes. For the average serving, you'll need 4oz for a sandwich, 6 oz for a plate. For 300 people, that is 75 pounds cooked. Because of a 40-50% shrinkage depending on cooking time (and fat trimmed), you would need up to half the weight again--which adds up to about 112 lbs.
1/4 lb. per person 100lb. should be enough
hi my name is jill. i like to eat poo. :)
Depends on what you serve them, how much you serve them, and where you purchase the beverage.
I am going to barbeque a brisket this weekend. Around 20 lbs. There is always a lot of fat on brisket . I want to trim some fat off but am afraid it will affect the tecture and taist. Is there a guide?
because the rune plate is cheaper and some people think it looks better.
Estimate approximately 4oz per (Adult) guest. So that's 4 guests per pound of cooked meat or about 25 pounds of cooked brisket. Remember a brisket looses approximately 20% of it raw weight when cooked. Average brisket weights 9-12lbs lets call it 10lbs for easy math. when cooked it will serve at about 8 lbs and so you would buy 3 briskets that each weigh slightly more than 10 lbs. Brisket is a very fatty coarse meat that shrinks markedly when cooked; when smoking, experienced grill masters expect 40-50% shrinkage. Even cooked low and slow in the oven, you lose at least 1/3. In addition, unless you are just making sandwiches, 1 pound cooked only serves 3 people in party type situations. I allow 1 pound raw for each 2 persons. ellenskitchen.com
if you have 50 people you have to make like 100 briskets cause some people might want extras Actually there are a few unknowns that the question does not explain - I will usually purchase 1 lb (trimmed) brisket per person. So if I am having 8 to 10 people to feed, I will prepare around 10 lbs. brisket - this might be two 5 lb. briskets as long as it adds up to roughly one pound per person (before cooking).
about 25 gallons
depending on how much you give it can serve up to 20 people
about 60-70 pounds
