brian j said:i bought a brisket to use next weekend (9/28-9/29) and found after getting it home that the cryovac leaks. should i cook it this weekend and get another for next weekend?
CarolinaQue said:I would freeze it over the weekend, and the dry age it for 5 or 6 days as it thaws. But that's just me.
I think that leaving it in a punctured cryovac could be a bit of trouble with bacteria clinging to the wet exterior.
