  • @karlkrasnowsky3895
    @karlkrasnowsky3895 2 роки тому +7

    Thanks for the tips. Still a question. The rule of thumb is the grain of the flat runs in relatively the opposite direction of the point. So you slice the flat in one direction, turn the point portion 90°, and continue slicing.
    However, there's no delineation where the flat ends and point begins, as the flat runs over the top of the point.
    So without removing the flat from the point and slicing separately, is it possible to technically following this rule?

  • @transam4555

    I seperate the point from the flat, scrape off ALL the inter muscular fat, and then slice them individually. This leaves the outside fat on the flat that you trimmed to thickness before cooking. And of course the point has all the fat in it you could possibly want anyway .Then serve a little of each to the guests and tell them to take a small bite of point with each bite of flat. Try it once.

    Many or most "brisket" slicing knives have straight cut edges. I have the Dalstrong Gladiator 12" and it's nice for "smooth" meats like hams, turkey, commercial cooked meats but I find the straight edge, even though razor sharp, crumbles the bark on brisket and pork. I have since gotten a couple of 12" serrated knives and they work better. The 12" serrated Victorinox was too flexible for my liking although it cut brisket fine. The cheap Mercer 12" serrated knife from the local restaurant supply store seamed more ideal to me. Works great for cutting ribs too. I love working with the right tools for the job.

    Your brisket looks so yummy! My husband smokes a really good brisket too. I also use a bread knife to slice brisket and cut both of the ends and trim that fatty piece like you do. I never thought to turn the point portion to slice it. I always separate the layers and slice. Next time we smoke a brisket I will definitely try out your point slicing method. Thank you!

    I have never understood why people, essentially, cut the brisket in half at the start of the point and turn it 90° to cut against the grain of the point, *which is still cutting at about a 45° angle with respect to the grain of the flat that still exists beneath the point*. The grain of the flat runs at about a 45° degree angle across the brisket's long axis, so cutting straight across is never fully against the grain, yet it is a common practice. Furthermore, because the flat runs beneath the point, instead of cutting the brisket in half, I separate the point from the flat by inserting my knife into the brisket at the start of the point and gliding it through the deckle until the point and flat are separated. To perform this cut, I rotate my knife to about -20° to -30° and let the jelly like resistance of the deckle guide my knife as it slices down and across (through the deckle) the brisket. I never see anyone do this, and I was wondering why? To me, it has proven to be a superior way to slice brisket; however, if that were true, I figured more people would do it. Any input would be very helpful.

    • @FreeFlyFreak69
      @FreeFlyFreak69 3 роки тому +1

      That is the way I do it.
      Find the fat seam, separate the true muscle groups slice both against the grain.
      I'm not sure why it is not common practice, maybe more work? Maybe because you end up with some pieces of flat under the point that have no meat bark only fat bark on one side?
      I dunno but it just makes more sense to me.
