How much brisket to serve 100 people?
Brisket is a very fatty coarse meat that shrinks markedly when cooked; when smoking, experienced grill masters expect 40-50% shrinkage. Even cooked low and slow in the oven, you lose at least 1/3. In addition, unless you are just making sandwiches, 1 pound cooked only serves 3 people in party type situations. I allow 1 pound raw for each 2 persons. ellenskitchen.
