Care & Preparation

Welcome to a World of Flavor!
At Smoked, Sealed, Delivered, we are committed to delivering the finest, smoke-infused delicacies right to your doorstep. To ensure you enjoy our smoked meats at their best, follow these simple guidelines for storing, thawing, and heating. Whether you're gathering around the table for a family dinner or hosting a festive event, our smoked meats are sure to impress with their rich flavors and succulent textures.

Storing Your Smoked Meats
Upon receiving your smoked meats, inspect the package to ensure it has not been damaged during shipping. Store your vacuum-sealed meats in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days. If you do not plan to enjoy your meats within this timeframe, we recommend freezing them immediately. Properly sealed meats can be frozen for up to 6 months.

Thawing Your Smoked Meats
For the best results, thaw your meats in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature. This slow thawing ensures the meats maintain their texture and flavor.

Heating Your Smoked Meats

Method 1: Sous Vide (Recommended for Quick Heating)

  1. Bring a 4qt pot of water to a rolling boil.
  2. Turn down the heat to low and carefully submerge the unpunctured vacuum-sealed meat into the water.
  3. Cover the pot and let the meat sit for 20-30 minutes depending on size and thickness.
  4. Remove the package, carefully cut open the plastic, and serve the meat warm.

Method 2: Oven Heating (Recommended for Enhanced Flavor)

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  2. Remove the meat from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature while the oven heats.
  3. Place the meat in an aluminum or cake pan. Add 3-4 oz. of water to the bottom of the pan to keep the meat moist.
  4. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam.
  5. Heat the meat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Estimated warming times vary:
  • Brisket: Approximately 1 hour
  • Ribs: Approximately 1 hour
  • Chicken Breast: Approximately 1 hour
