Finishing salt

Postby Up_In_Smoke » Sun Feb 10, 2019 11:56 am

Does anyone use finishing salts on brisket or ribs for their turn in boxes?

I give a light dusting of some rub that is finely grinded.
How bout some more beans Mr.Taggert? I'd say you've had enough!

There's so much salt in every other step of the way I'd be concerned with it being too salty. Have you tried any "turn-in adjacent" pieces with the finishing salt on it? I tried some of mine from this past weekend and it seemed too salty to me. The judges seemed to like it but they get such a small piece you never know.

Assuming you nailed your primary flavors, tenderness etc.. a little extra salt can provide a pop of flavor that stands out.. especially on FT or bigger comps. I like to use a little popcorn salt, it's extra fine and doesn't really make the entry too salty IMO.. experiment at home first! :laughing7:

I try my brisket that I'm turning in, If it needs a POP I'll add a little salt to it.
