Doing an internet search, I was surprised that many sights (all that I looked at anyway) say the shelf life for cooked Brisket, in a freezer, is only 3 months. One site said wrapped properly, 3 months. Another said 3 months even when vacuum sealed.
That is surprising to me. 3 months seems an awful short amount of time. I've only had a big freezer for a short amount of time (13 ft, self defrosting), and really expected I could keep vacuum sealed meats longer than that. Much longer....
I've still got maybe 10 lbs of pork butt in 1 lb packages out there.... right at the 3 month mark. Maybe 15 lbs of brisket that has only been in freeze for 3 weeks. I'm using the meats in dishes more and more, instead of just eating the meat. Trying to stretch those dollars, ya know. So... the meat is lasting much longer than it used too.
Is that REALLY the limit for keeping the meat stored in a freezer safely?
