Vacuum Marinating Brisket?

[Jibberish]

After reading Meathead's Texas Brisket novella I wonder if putting my smallish brisket in a Seal-a-meal Container with Beef Broth would infuse the brisket with the broth. Maybe sticking some skewers "parallel to the grain" to create holes for the broth to get in would help? I read that I could inject broth too, I was just thinking to get more liquid in the meat, then slathering it with oil to keep the juices in?

Anyone ever try this? Would anyone want to?
Cheers

Vacuum marination is nonsense.

Marination is not a substitution for injecting.,

Amen to that!

Ok I admit ( I'm not a food scientist) but the skewers idea is kind of interesting? I understand that the liquid wont penetrate the meat but if there is already a hole being kept open by the wooden skewers? why wouldn't it seep in? especially if the hole has been relaxed by the vacuum? Yep that is an interesting idea.

yeah some of the liquid will go into the hole but just like the surface of the meat you will have a tunnel with the broth but very little penetration. it really wouldn't affect much.

Your Right DeusDingo I'm just always looking for something to do on my YouTube channel (that's not been done many times before) Therefore I do a lot of grasping at straws lol

1. Why does beef need more processed beef flavor?

2. You pretty much cook all the water out cause moist brisket ain't got nothin' to do with water

3. I would interweave strips of bacon fat

Reminds me, I shopped on the edges of the store the other night where all the healthy stuff is, came home with bacon and raspberry stuffed donuts.

About that OptiGrill... what's the sear temp like?

[GadjetGriller]

Potkettleblack I have not checked?? The problem also is it has the raised and lower sections so that only half the meat is in contact with the hot metal. Makes great looking grill marks!! and the center is cooked to 135ish when it beeps for med. (its 1800Watt) I'll check next time I use it.

The Plus claims that sear goes from 491-527. I think it's adequate, but I wouldn't want to finish sous vide product on it.
