Slathered Brisket - night before or right before cooking

[Brian H.]

I have never used a mustard slather before. I am going to use one ofPaul Kirk's on my brisket and then I will throw together a rub. I normally rub my ribs/butts overnight.

My questions is when using a slather, should I apply it the night before I cook it or should I apply the slather and rub right before I cook it? In his book he says he applies the slather right before cooking.

I'm not sure it matters, but you might try one of each and see if you can tell a difference or have a preference.

It's certainly easier and less messy to do it Chef Paul's way, immediately before cooking.

Regards,
Chris

Thanks Chris. I slathered and rubbed the brisket last night - only have one. I read on another board where someone recommended to slather and rub the night before and then again the next morning. Thinking aout that....
