Brisket

To feed 550 people, a general guideline is to allocate about 1/3 to 1/2 pound of cooked brisket per person. This means you would need roughly 183 to 275 pounds of cooked brisket. Since brisket loses about 30% of its weight during cooking, you should start with approximately 260 to 400 pounds of raw brisket. Adjust according to your guests' appetites and any other dishes being served.

This is a very good way to store this food. It will stay good for a year or two. Freezing is the best way to keep meats cooked or raw.

you have to be sure not to leave it on one side for too long

if you do it will just get burnt

you have to keep turning it over every 5 minutes

I make brisket a lot...I eat it for 2 or 3 days. After that, it's pretty dry.

As long as it takes.... and don't believe people when they say you can't eat pork raw. Go for it!!

There are many variables to consider when grilling a brisket. The temperature of the grill is important. The size of the brisket is also a factor. It is best to use a good meat thermometer to make sure it is properly cooked.

first of all if you cook your brisket straight in the oven with out boiling it first, it will be as salty as bacon. This will taste great with a couple of wines ect. So the best way is to bring to the boil in water first,then baste with olive oil, dust with pepper to taste, then roast at 140 degrees celcius for 3 to 5 hours in any type oven , then turn up temperature to 170 for half hour, then turn oven of and let sit forten minutes. then transfer veggies and meat to plate or another tray then let sit in oven to rest. Take the oldtray and put on stove on low add small handfull of flour mix with fork until you make a paste consistancy than add water cook to reduce walla you have the best gravy ever.

Cooked brisket should not be unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. At that point, it should be re-heated or refrigerated.

After browning the brisket (and onions) sufficiently I add vegetables and beef stock to pan. I cover very tightly with aluminum foil and cook at 325 for at least 3 but up to 4 hours. I take out of oven, let pan sit at room temp for 30 minutes and then right to the fridge without removing or opening the foil! Enjoy the next day.

Cooked meat should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. At that point, it should be refrigerated or reheated.

Cooked meat should be cooled at room temperature for an hour then refrigerated. After 2 hours it is not considered safe at room temperature. Food needs to be kept above 140F AFTER being heated to AT LEAST 160F.

It is the chest area of the animal, between the neck and the start of the front 'arms.'

The calorie content of a brisket sandwich depends on what ingredients are used to make the sandwich in addition to the brisket, the type of bread, and the quantities of all ingredients. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more details.

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).

Length of time taken to cook chicken varies depending on type, temperature and size.

The manufacturers of electric roasters say food should take the same length of time as it would in a regular oven at the same temperature.

For a 3 to 4 lb chicken I'd allow an hour and 45 minutes at 350 degrees and add 10 to15 minutes for each additional pound of weight.

The only safe way to tell if it's done is to use a thermometer in the breast. It should be at least 165 degrees.

You wash the beef off.Put the roast in a small roasting pan. Then season roast with seasoning.Fill roaster half way with water. Set oven to 350. Let this slow cook for about an hour an a half. Check roast after this time but may need to add more water , so this does not cover the roast. Let this cook for about another hour and a half or until roast falls apart when fork is placed in it.

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

I would make 15 -16 pounds

The brisket is almost like the breast area of the cow. Following your hand down the nose of the cow you will reach the chin. After the chin comes the front of the neck. As the neck travels down to the front of the cow you will notice that the cow starts to curve as your hand travels toward the bottom of the cow. This area is almost like the breast of the cow but far away from the udder. The brisket is the cut of meat from the breast to right before your hand meets the leg on the under side of the cow. Here are the cuts of meat from the brisket (traveling from brisket to the hind of the cow): # Brisket # Fore Shank # Short Plate # Flank # bottom portion of the Round

I have been paying anywhere from 1.89 to 2.39 a pound at walmart in Florida

For a plate sale, it's generally recommended to allocate about 1/3 to 1/2 pound of cooked brisket per person. Therefore, for 450 people, you would need approximately 150 to 225 pounds of cooked brisket. Keep in mind that brisket shrinks during cooking, so it's advisable to start with a larger raw weight, typically around 60% more, resulting in about 375 to 450 pounds of raw brisket. Adjustments can be made based on the specific appetite of your guests and other menu items.
