Brisket questions

Costco has brisket on sale thanks to Passover.  Can this be smoked then frozen?  How best to rewarm from frozen.
Slice or seal whole?

Yes you can cook it then freeze it.

Divide it in 1/3's or 1/2 or whole depending if you plan on eating it all when you warm it up.

Warm up in oven in alum foil on about 250* till you get the brisket warm.

You may want to add a splash of apple juice to top of brisket.

... which is by way of saying, "Don't slice leftovers before putting away or freezing."  Sliced meat can dry out more easily (both in the freezer and when reheating) than unsliced.

Thanks.
No Slicing
Cut into family size portions
rewarm in a gentle oven w/apple juice

By Jove! I think he's got it!

I do slice/pkg and freeze brisket for my daughter that I send to her,

but I spritz the slices before pkging them and she warm them in the freezer bag.

Not to disagree, but I will a little..   ;)

I did about 60-something pounds of brisket a couple weekends ago, and each one was sliced and immediately stuffed into a foodsaver bag...  Multiple seals, and into the freezer.

The ones that were served were heated up to almost serving temps in the bag, then cut open and arranged in a roaster w/ some of the leftover drippings/juice.  They turned out great.  Nice and moist.

I see CRG snuck in ahead of my reply with the same advice.
