A 45-pound brisket typically yields about 30-35% of its weight in cooked meat after trimming and cooking. This means you can expect approximately 13 to 16 pounds of cooked brisket. As a general guideline, cooked brisket serves about 0.5 pounds per person, so a 45-pound brisket can feed approximately 26 to 32 people, depending on portion sizes and whether other dishes are served.
Twenty.
On an average of 1/2 lb per person, you would need 100 lbs of brisket.
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?
hi my name is jill. i like to eat poo. :)
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.
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 69 lbs of meat.
Well, for an average person the answer is 5,589 lbs of meat.
For a gathering of 10 people, you'll typically need about 1 pound of raw brisket per person, accounting for shrinkage during cooking. Therefore, you should plan on purchasing approximately 10 pounds of brisket. If you want to ensure leftovers or if your guests are big eaters, consider increasing the amount to about 12-15 pounds.
After searing the meat in a frying pan for 3-4 minutes to seal in juices, cook for 7-8 hours on low in a slow cooker.
about 2 lbs give or take... depending on how much fat is in the meat
