Frozen Brisket with freezer burn

[Paul H]

Hey guys, just pulled a brisket out of the freezer and it has freezer burn on it. Should I just toss it? It's been in my freezer for awhile.

I'd cook it, I'm sure there would be some quality loss but I don't believe there would be food safety issues.

I would cook it up and use it in another recipe. Maybe beans or chili.

Is it past the point of just trimming the burnt area up a bit?? If so I'd buy another brisket and cook them together just incase the burnt one turns out not so good.....

That's a great idea Larry. That way you don't waste a cook and have nothing to show for it.

Larry, it looks pretty bad. There is a lot of brown on the meat.
