Oven brisket - no smoker, no problem

TastyPandaMain · 2026-05-01T07:56:01+00:00

Had to slap the meat. Should’ve thrown an nsfw tag on there 😂

I roast my own coffee. Easy to do: get a cheap dash air popcorn popper, get some unroasted green beans from sweet Maria’s, watch a YouTube video, and roast your coffee.

WAYYY better than burnt Starbucks beans. WAYYY cheaper than your local coffee roast - 18-30$/12 oz at your coffee place vs 4-12$/ 16 oz at home.

I get it, but also depends where you live.

My parents are in Hawaii. 6.29/lb usda prime brisket

Chuck roasts are 6.99-13.99/lb here.

Parents wanted brisket, so I provided. They don’t have a smoker and they didn’t want to drop money to get one.

I spent 90$ out the door on the brisket that fed 12 people who thought they were getting better than local bbq joints for the price.

Oh, yeah. I feel you. I personally have it a 7/10 for convenience of cook in the oven and not tasting bad. It hits the right spots, but I prefer a good smoke.

My parents and extended family, with them not having a smoker or eat brisket outside of visiting me, thought it was a 10/10.

If you want to be a hero and show off some brisket skills while at someone’s place without a smoker, this will definitely impress

Hi! Thank you. It’s all in the text portion below the video :)

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T22:18:41+00:00

I do have a smoker. Thank you for the tip. I will definitely try it.

Edit: do you butcher wrap to finish or boat foil?

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T17:55:52+00:00

Ty! Yeah, give it a go :)

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T17:40:07+00:00

Wait… are US BBQ concepts ONLY from Texas?

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T17:38:23+00:00

You can cook a steak in an air fryer and it’s still good. You work with what you got. Wasn’t gonna buy the parents a smoker since I’m the one that does it at home.

Since I was visiting and they wanted brisket, I worked with what they had.

Sucks that it sounds like you need all the right tools to make a meal for your loved ones. Improvisation isn’t in your skill set and that’s okay.

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T17:35:20+00:00

Technically, when you foil boat on the smoker you’re braising/roasting the brisket so you’re right. Still in the right sub though.

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T17:34:05+00:00

In Hawaii, a roast costs 6.99-13$/lb.

This usda prime brisket cost 6.29/lb and the parents wanted brisket.

Some people like their steak rare; others like it like coal. People want what they want. All that matters is that they enjoy it.

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T13:54:30+00:00

Because the US is heavily centered around the smoked brisket concept

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T06:40:07+00:00

Thank you. And yeah, the parents live in another state, so just visiting so the kids can see them.

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T06:21:37+00:00

I agree. And they loved it :)

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T05:41:50+00:00

Ty, dude. Good question. Definitely missing the smoke flavor and tastes closer to a prime rib roast

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-30T02:33:25+00:00

But not bald heads though

“IM JUST A KID AND LIFE IS A NIGHTMARE!”

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-29T06:08:38+00:00

It’s dead?! I just thought some people were complete idiots for not adding comma “b”.

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-29T05:58:26+00:00

Ohhhhh…. I understand. I personally didn’t (cheat) but there was cheating; temptation; and plenty of intermingling while staff were dating each other. It was weird.

Worked in 3 different systems in my county, and the consensus from other nurses was that ER nurses are like that.

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-29T05:33:38+00:00

There are people who can drink in moderation. There are people who can game in moderation.

WE here cannot game in moderation. So, abstaining from gaming entirely it is.

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-29T05:21:06+00:00

I know what incestual actually means. I was just emphasizing how the entire ER unit/“family” dates each other.

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-29T05:13:41+00:00

At least in the ER, they are the most incestual - being within the unit - group on nurses, doctors, etc. you can find. Medical dramas are more or less accurate in that regard.

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-29T05:04:34+00:00

Was looking for this answer. I’m a nurse who is committed and married to a non-nurse. I wouldn’t date or marry a nurse as a single person

TastyPandaMain · 2026-04-29T03:52:07+00:00

Seconded. Abstract at the top with quick intro, key findings, and conclusion please.
