Here’s how much liquid each roast lost after different resting times: Resting TimeĪmerica’s Test Kitchen Radio, “A New Manifesto for School Lunch”, March 23, 2012 How much moisture is lost when meat is not rested? America’s Test Kitchen Radio did an experiment in which they cooked pork loin roasts at 400☏ to an internal temperature of 140☏. And since our perception of tenderness is greatly affected by moisture content-moist meat is softer and perceived as being more tender than dry meat-the result is more succulent, tender meat. Rested meat holds on to more of its natural juices-they don’t flood the cutting board when you slice into the meat. As the meat fibers begin to relax, moisture that was driven out is redistributed and reabsorbed by some of the dissolved proteins. When meat is allowed to rest after cooking, this process is partially reversed. You’ll also lose moisture in the form of steam that wafts away from the very hot meat as you cut into it. But for large, fatty cuts of meat that cook to 200-205☏ internal temp, like a brisket or a pork butt, there’s lots of liquid under pressure that will flow out onto the cutting board if you don’t allow the meat to rest. For very lean cuts of meat, like a chicken breast or a pork chop, by the time they reach 170☏ internal temp, most of the moisture has been squeezed out, rendering them tough and dry. Corriher says that up to 120☏ internal temperature, meat proteins shrink in diameter only and there is little moisture loss, but above 120☏ the proteins also begin to shrink in length-up to half their original length-which forces moisture into the spaces between the muscle fibers and toward the surface and center of the meat. When meat is cooked, muscle fibers begin to compress and contract, which really puts the squeeze on water. According to The Science of Good Cooking, raw beef is about 75 percent water. Meat is muscle, and muscle consists of proteins, fat, vitamins & minerals, and water-lots of water. Allowing almost any meat to rest-whether thick steaks, thick chops, whole turkeys, briskets or pork butts-helps keep meat more moist and improves the texture & tenderness of meat. My experience was an example of why it’s important to let meat rest after cooking. I was surprised to see a flood of juices run out across the cutting board, and when I ate the meat it seemed very dry. In one of my earliest barbecue experiences, I took a brisket out of the Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker after it was cooked and sliced into it immediately. Why You Should Let Meat Rest After Cooking

Cover Loosely With Foil…And When Not To.

A 2-4 Hour Rest Makes Briskets & Pork Butts Better.

Why You Should Let Meat Rest After Cooking.

When ready to serve, cut against the grain into 1/4” slices.

Once you remove the brisket from the smoker, continue to cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Cook the brisket for an additional 2 hours or until the internal temp of the thickest section has reached 190 degrees F.

Drizzle the glaze over top of the brisket and cover with foil. Once the brisket hits an internal temperature of 170 degrees, remove it from the grill and place it in a metal baking dish.

Right before the 5 hours is up, combine the glaze ingredients of brown sugar and apple juice.

Put your brisket on the smoker and let smoke for 5 hours or until the internal temp reaches 170 degrees F.

Once the grill comes to a steady temperature for at least 15 minutes, add the wood chips.

Set the meat out and allow it to come to room temperature. Place it in a shallow dish, cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours.

In a small bowl, combine the garlic salt, pepper, chili powder, brown sugar and smoked paprika and generously massage it over all sides of the brisket.

The night before you cook your brisket removed the thick fatty areas and score the meat so that it can absorb the rub.
