pastrami

[larroyo101]

I have a frozen flat of corned beef can I put into the water straight from the freezer too take out the salt or do I have thaw it out first. This will be my first time trying to make pastrami. didn't even think about doing something like this if it wasn't for me joining smoking meat forums. i have learned alot about smoking here on this site. Thanks for the help.

I don't see why you couldn't. Kill 2 birds with one stone.

I'd thaw first. Not that you can't do it the other way but if you do it will take longer to pull the salt from the brisket. You'll actually be desalinating in layers and will take more time
