Nuking Brisket Question

[Potkettleblack]

That’s odd. No time cook function?

Potkettleblack I have the biggest baddest latest Science Oven you can get, and as far as I can tell it will only do things in 30 second increments. They don't tell you that on the box...

I've made brisket and PP leftover cottage pie with great results.

SV on my list of want to have's.

[holehogg]

I do and love it cold.

I do the same, paper-towel covered. I bring Texas Juice that's bottled in the fridge back to a simmer and trust that to warm things up to eat leftovers. Love it for breakfast with scrambled eggs and salsa roja.

I'll also chop it up and make brisket refried rice in the wok at a hugely high temp, for 30 seconds. I add what I have, like a smoked corn cob's kernels or shrimp. You can put that straight into 'street size' soft tortillas heated from a hot griddle for the same 30 seconds.

Isn't it hard to screw up smoked brisket leftovers?

bag the brisket with the pan juices and reheat in a SV

But if its just me and my bride I nuke

[Mosca]

This. I've reheated almost everything in the microwave. There's nothing bad, nor good about the machine itself, it's how it's used that makes it work or not work. Put stuff in and leave it? Bad. Watch what you're doing? Good.

I'd eat it cold.

In Kenji's book The Food Lab he has a whole section on cooking food in the microwave. I've done tons of veggies that way and they come out surprisingly good. I do brisket, pastrami, really all kinds of left over meats that way as well. Like PKB says, just don't overdue it, a little goes a long way.

I may add a splash of beef broth and cover with a moist paper towel.

I've had better experience with reheating meat in an air fryer than in the microwave.

If I have food from a cook that is going to be stored more than a day it goes into a FoodSaver vacuum sealed bag. More than a few days and into the freezer. To reheat either way the bags are gently simmered in hot water.

I think this is the best way to keep leftovers from tasting like leftovers.

[Potkettleblack]

I do everything in stages in the Science Oven. If I think something needs a minute, I go 30 seconds, check, 20 seconds, check, and maybe 10 or more seconds more. Staging is important.

going light on the microwave definitely results in a better experience than trying to get it super hot. the microwave does horrible things to meat in a short amount of time. i like to try to catch it right when it's just getting hot enough for me to enjoy eating it.
