Tender and Delicious
After corning the deckel with my own selection of spices, I made corned beef and cabbage in the Instant Pot for the traditional Irish-American feast on St. Patrick’s Day. It was tender and delicious, and eliminated any need to skim away the flavor with the fat. I would never choose to make the dish with brisket again. Yes, I !!! LOVED!!! it!

This was a wonderful cut of brisket! Tender and moist, I delved into many receipes to find the "right one" for preparation! It worked out fine! My husband and I both enjoyed it! Will order again!
My first time making a Brisket! I agonized over preparation, but finally did it and it turned out delicious!

Perfect brisket type cut for a better price
This cut is consistently excellent. I cook it in brisket sauce for 3 hours on the stove top, cut against the grain, perfect every time.

Bought two pieces, total about 3.3 pounds, for shabbat chanukkah dinner. Cooked in the crock pot with Greek spices. It was spectacular and gobbled down by our guests and us. Thought it was a lot of meat when I was slicing it, but there was barely enough for my wife and I to have for dinner on Monday night.
How Many Pieces Will I Receive?
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packages. Most packages contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packages will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packages of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
For red meat items and multi-pack poultry items, vacuum-sealed packages may be packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packages you'd like in the box, you'll make that selection under "Customize Your Order." Then you'll choose your preferred weight (that is, the combined weight of all the the packages in that box.) If only one choice is showing in a green box, you do not need to make any selection.
Example: Lamb Chops
Let's say you're ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
You've chosen: 2 packages, ~1.1 lb, and the price shows $39.99.
You’ll receive 1 box, with 2 packages of lamb chops inside.
Each package will contain 2 lamb chops. You’ll have 4 lamb chops in total. We always try to pack similar-sized items, but you may find that some chops are slightly larger and some are slightly smaller.
How Much Does It Weigh?
We use weight ranges in order to keep our fulfillment system practical and manageable for items with variable weights (for example steaks. Packages of deli meats which are not sold by weight range as we can pack them by exact weight). The ranges are as small as practically possible to minimize the variation between the Selected Weight and the actual weght you receive. Because of this, if the price per pound is shown as "price/lb*", the *" indicates that it is an estimate for comparison purposes only, since the price associated with the selected weight is the price for all items within that weight range.
This chart shows the potential weight variance for selected weights on our site:
| Selected Weight | Potential Weight Variance |
|---|---|
| under ~0.95 lb | +/- 0.15 lb |
| ~1 lb to ~3.9 lb | +/- 0.25 lb |
| ~4 lb to ~10 lb | +/- 0.5 lb | over ~10 lb | +/- 1 lb |
For example:
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~1.5 lb could weigh as much as 1.75 lb or as little as 1.25 lb
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~5 lb could weigh as much as 5.5 lb or as little as 4.5 lb
We keep the ranges as small as practically possible to minimize the variation you might receive. Sometimes you will receive a bit more than the listed weight, and sometimes a bit less. Our customers find that on average they receive what they are expecting. But if you find that your actual weights in an order are all below the listed average, please snap a picture of the weight labels and send it over to us, and we'll be happy to make things right.
