Pork and beef oh my

[col klink]

D'oh! I'm sorry about not answering your question earlier Marlene (and for forgetting to delay your shipment, the day I shipped was also the day I was driving up to Canada and very hectic).

I think the pork is best reheated in the oven wrapped in tinfoil. I haven't tried the microwave since I don't have one. My future in-laws however love it cold. But I think you get more flavor and more juiciness if you heat it up as Nightscotsman found out.

The brisket on the other hand can be eaten cold, room temperature and warmed up, I suggest all three at some point.

After you've tried the meats straight, then you can play around and cook with them though my imagination is rather limited since I rarely have leftovers. But, thinly sliced brisket makes for great sandwiches and diced brisket is a wonderful addition to hash. The diced pork would be excellent in a stir though I haven't tried that personally.

That's ok. I don't know what day they actually received the package, so I'm not sure how long they sat at room temp even though they are vacumn sealed. I'm thinking this time, I'll heat both of them, just in case!

Thanks so much. I can't wait to try them!

Good question, I don't rightly know since it's always been eaten within a couple of days but I suppose two weeks isn't out of the question.
