Wagyu Beef Texas Cut Brisket

Storage & Thawing Instructions

Your shipment has been shipped flash frozen to insure FOOD SAFETY to your door.  The Lucky’s Wagyu cuts may arrive frozen or partially thawed.  You have a couple of storage options to insure the quality and safety of these Noble Cuts:

#1. FREEZER METHOD – PLACE THE MEATS INTO YOUR FREEZER TO HOLD UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO THAW AND COOK…for as long as your refrigerator manufacturer suggests usually up to 6 months or more.  All of the Lucky’s cuts are sealed for food safety and do not need to be further wrapped for the freezer.

#2. REFRIGERATOR METHOD – PLACE THE MEATS IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR TO DEFROST, ALLOWING 24 HOURS OR SO TO BE THAWED READY TO COOK.  

The LUCKY’S FIRE & SMOKE CUTS have been cured and smoked which allows for up to 2 to 3 weeks refrigerator shelf life.

#3.   COLD WATER METHOD – PLACE THE MEATS IN A LARGE BOWL OR POT OF COLD WATER in your sink at room temperature to accelerate the thawing process.  It takes about 30 minutes a pound to defrost with this method.

** Remember its best to completely defrost the meat before the cooking begins, especially low temperature cooking technique.  Meat that has been fully defrosted should be cooked right away.
