Yeah, it can be a good move. It adds more substance. Often some juices from the rested meat are sufficient in terms of flavor. But sometimes one wants more body to the sauce. Adding a little of the cooked meat keeps the sauce simple - the point of the No. 5 - but boosts the body while also adding cooked meat and cooked rub flavors. One can use some meat off the end of a rub slab, or for pork spares that one has trimmed, some of the trimmings. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Key technique and so obvious in hindsight. Same kind of "tactic" to me as adding in foil liquids, rub, etc as essentials before you add other notes like fruit, etc. Another reason to "keep everything" in a sense.
For example I pulled some previous vac sealed dinner brisket and periphery out of the freezer this week I had saved all of the vegetables (in puree) along with all juices, etc.
I turned it all into several very good (by review, but my audience was Marianne) Indian meals easily and it was fantastic.
That seemingly minor technique you added is a small detail in your post, but is now part of a permanent short list or map for me now moving forward. Makes so much sense. Especially if there's a bit of fat or marbling in there. Flavor nuggets as well as texture opportunity!
Thanks a gain and this to me is an example of what an MVP post is
