"Buying good brisket may cost around $5 per pound, but quality matters; avoid low-priced options that may compromise flavor. Aim for one pound per person."
"Purchase brisket from quality sources, as low-priced options may indicate poor quality; expect about 30-50% shrinkage during cooking, so adjust amounts accordingly."
Beef brisket is popular for barbecues and family feasts, making it crucial to gauge how much to purchase. Chef Robbie Shoults emphasizes buying quality brisket priced around $5 per pound but warns against low-priced options which may lack quality. To accommodate cooking shrinkage, it's advisable to buy one pound per person, ensuring guests receive half a pound of cooked brisket. He suggests looking for USDA-graded beef to guarantee flavor and quality, especially when investing significant cooking time.
