Butcher Paper

[martyj]

Question on butcher paper. Looking to switch over from foiling brisket to using butcher paper. Gordon's seems to be the only place local to pick any up. I was looking for pink butcher paper but they only seem to have peach or white. Is the peach actually the same thing as pink? Also, all the pink options say it's treated. What does treated refer to? The white that's available is not treated. What's my best option here?
Thanks for the help

Purchase ONLY Made in USA paper that is USDA certified... Places like China used recycled paper from all over the world.. Who know where recycled paper has been ??

Amazon has USDA butcher paper.... click on the picture.... There are many sizes and roll lengths...

Our Gordon's around here only carry Waxed or freezer paper. I'm going in a GFS right now as a matter of fact.

Pink also refereed to as peach, are all types of steak paper. Yes they are treated internally to make them stronger than regular butcher paper. The treatment is FDA approved for cooking. As dave metnioned buy only USA made.

The white butcher paper is not as strong and is bleached to make it white.

I buy mine from Oren at amazon, cheaper than the link Dave provided.

 

[daveomak]

Yep, it's cheaper... The roll is smaller....

That's why you don't find it here. That style of BBQ has only just recently been noticed here. Nobody uses that paper.

I have used parchment paper to wrap briskets, all I could find at the time. I did end up getting butcher paper at my supplier I get csg's and some spice from. Living in Canada I can usually get the same stuff from amazon that you guys get but the shipping kills us and makes it not worth it. So now we make a list and order it, send it to a cross border shipper and we take a holiday south and bring back stuff then. I don't know why but there are a lot of things we can't get shipped here but we can bring it if we are coming from there. And I buy everything I can that is made in Canada or USA. Just better quality and support to our countries.

I had not thought about the China connection and recycled paper. Good to know!

I have a roll of the pink/peach butcher paper in my "save for later" file at Amazon. $17 for 18"x150' roll. FDA approved, made in USA. Whew.

Some very nasty/sick/disgusting images just flashed inside my head.

While we're here on the subject, any suggestions on how to properly wrap a brisket. I don't think I wrap mine as tight as it should be.

 

[daveomak]

I think, wrap around the meat, fold over the ends, on each other, several times, making a tube of sorts... then tuck under the ends of the tube under the meat so it will stay in position...
Does that make sense ???

 

[bigsyd]

Yes, I'm thinking kind of like wrapping a package/gift. Tuck those ends under the brisket and let the brisket weight keep the flaps down. I'm always leaking juice when I pick mine up. I will try a new twist as described.

I read how Franklin buys a smaller diameter roll and prefers to use 2 sheets. Can't remember where I had read that.

Pops,
I was looking at an older thread you had posted. The thread had a pic of this bag of cure#1 and the bags label had the name and address of the packer supply place in Detroit that used to be at our Eastern Market area, famous for its food supply shops and warehouses. Well I looked it up, That place moved a few years ago. 2011 I think.. They have a bunch of meat stuff there still.. It's just a new building in another city not far from me..
Just thought of it when I saw this post..
