I would love some advice from those that have done something like this before.
I’m going to cook two full packer briskets on the RT700 this weekend. Let them rest, cool down, etc. like I was going to eat them that day. I plan on freezing them fully cooked and whole (not sliced). I have a few 5 gallon zip lock bags that I am going to freeze them in. Next week I was going to take them up to Michigan for vacation and reheat them in the oven (like the Aaron Franklin) video. My plan is to put them in the oven at 225 till the briskets are about 165 and tender.
I wrap typically in butcher paper - obviously I’ll unwrap them before I freeze them. I am planning on trying to keep the leftover juice in the butcher paper - freezing that and putting that on the briskets in the oven. I’ve had some success freezing pulled pork (saving the fat and recooking that into when I heat it up).
Any advice on this plan would be welcome. Anyone have experience cooking/freezing/reheating a whole brisket??
FYI - I’ll be in a cottage so I can only use an oven or crockpot. I don’t have a vacuum sealer.
thank you ahead of time!!
