Local Wallyworld had select briskets for 1.67$ /pound yesterday. Got 4 of them and in the freezer they went
I'd be interested on how they turn out. I just may have gotten a poor cut of meat, but a few years ago I purchased a select whole packer, and the cook did not turn out well. It had a very heavy fat cap, heavy vein of fat, and very little marbling. The end result was a very dry brisket.
That's a big price difference between stores rexster, my wallyworld up here in North Texas had the select brisket's for 1.97/lb and they didn't look very good so I passed on them.
Cooked ungraded wallyworld briskets in the past - actually don't see them much at most of our wallyworlds nowdays - no problem worked fine - maybe a bigger fat cap. At $1.67, I'd have stocked up also.
