Title: Serving my brisket the day after??????
Post by: UNKYFUNKY on June 25, 2015, 09:14:11 PM
I will be bringing a brisket to a friends the day after I will be smoking. I will be I have to reheat my brisket. Any tips so I don't dry it out?  Should I still FTC after the cook prior to putting it in the refrigerator? I was thinking that I could possibly vacuum seal it and maybe heat it again in hot water? Any tips would be appreciated

You answered your own question - that's the way it's done. FTC before storing and don't slice til you're ready to serve.

Ditto. I recommend you do not let the water boil. Sometimes the bag will loose its seal if the water boils.

Unk, unless you're at high altitude, a gentle simmer has the water at about 200F.  Just under a simmer is a good temp for reheating food sealed in a vacuum bag in order to prevent the seal from getting too warm and opening up.
