What is more important to take into consideration when resting brisket - or any meat for that matter: the actual temperature of the meat when you slice, or the time you let it rest?
Let's say we have two roasts and both were pulled off at 190 degrees. One has settled down to 150 degrees in about 30 minutes and I slice. The other is in a preheated cooler and takes 3 hours to settle down to 150 and I slice it. Which loses the most moisture?
I guess what I'm saying is, should I really care about how long it rests, as long as it is sufficient time, or should I care more that the temperature of the meat drops, and in so doing, it reabsorbs the juice...
