Kraft Paper

[graniteman]

Trying to find out about Kraft paper to wrap meat.   Do you need a food grade Kraft paper or not.  also a good place to get it?  Amazon?  Thanks for any help.

Are tou wrapping to freeze or wrapping to cook?

 

[mikelens]

If your wrapping while smoking; then you'll want food grade, USDA approved. Anything else that I saw offered for sale contained recycled materials. Not what I'd want on my food. Ordered mine from Amazon. Best price with shipping.

cook and finish

Thanks, what size works best 18" or 30" or both.

 

[mikelens]

I think that 18" is good enough. You'll be able to wrap a brisket with it, without much difficulty. You're not looking for an airtight package.I double wrap or even triple. The first wrap usually absorbs some grease or moisture; subsequent wraps locks the moisture in.

Good advice. I got an Amazon gift card for Christmas. I was trying to figure out what to buy there.

That is what we call peach paper. We use it to wrap red meats to keep them red in the walk in box. You should look at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NG8PBS/?tag=smokingmeatforums-20. A bit more economical as well

Are you recommending recycled paper for wrapping meats etc. ????    Just curious...    Dave

 

[mikelens]

No, the link I posted says it can be used to wrap food. Only some kraft papers are recycled, not all of them.

 

[daveomak]

Just curious as the "PINK" stuff says this......  This would be my choice for wrapping food....

Dave were did you see it is recycled paper?

 

[gr0uch0]

States more than once that it can be recycled. If it can be recycled, it can also be made from recycled paper material. This lends itself more for packages and arts/crafts than wrapping a brisket.

I see were it says it can be recycled. I did not see where it said it was recycled. There is a difference.

I fully understand there's a difference--perhaps you may wish to re-read my post that (again) means that if it can be recycled, it can also be made from recycled materials. By the way, paper Dave cites is FDA approved: other, not so much.

I did a paper wrapped smoked brisket. You will need brown un waxed butchers paper (craft) and gummed brown tape for sealing. If you google Texas BBQ Posse they show you what is needed.
