What's For Breakfast This Morning :)

I just realized that I made a huge mistake on these briskets. Could be why the flats dried out as much as they did. After wrapping and bringing them to temp, I immediately dropped them both into a small cooler that fit them perfectly. The idea was to rest them for 5 or 6 hours before slicing them up. After doing some reading, this is apparently "holding" and not resting. Makes a lot of sense now that the briskets just kept cooking in a 275 degree oven for five straight hours. That's what the outside temp of the meat would have been at. Apparently what you're supposed to do is rest them at room temp until they come down to an internal temp of at most 185 and then hold them in a cooler. What an idiot.
Try making Corn Beef out of the flat, just a suggestion, good on the hash browns.
