OH, but I DO love salt. in every way you can. to cook on it, in it, with it. I am more of a pork person myself. So, while I come by my cowboy Boots honestly, I am not that experienced with brisket. aside from corned beef, anyway. and I DO love some corned beef, slow cooked till it falls apart. yup. I think I like the second day reubens as much or more. I am going to try putting the reuben in a meat pie crust next time we do Corned beef.
I don't know if anyone has seen the Will it waffle stuff online. one cooking appliance and you are a chef!! I have, in the past, made my reubens in the waffle iron. nice white bread, nicely and generously buttered, I preheat the meat and kraut so it doesn't get soggy. yum.
Anyway. Back to salt. So, has anyone tried a salt Crust for your Texas Crutch? It is a simple enough dough, just flour and salt. same dough for making home made playdoh. and, of course any other herbs you would care to include. Since salt is such a great heat conductor, you can use it similarly to the Sous Vide. Nice and slow, then it can sit and hold temp for quite a while till you crack it.
I have used this method for chicken in the past. but, It seems like it would make a fine change for the Texas Crutch. and any time you can bring more flavor to the party, that's always a plus.
Thoughts?
