QAPI Description QAPI is the coordinated application of two mutually-reinforcing aspects of a quality management system: Quality Assurance (QA) and Performance Improvement (PI). QAPI takes a systematic, comprehensive, and data-driven approach to maintaining and improving safety and quality in nursing homes while involving all nursing home caregivers in practical and creative problem solving.
Sticking to 225 degrees and 1 hour and 15 minutes puts you in the ballpark for a well cooked brisket. Many people believe that when the internal temperature of the brisket reaches 185 degrees, it is done.
Someone using a moderate temperature for brisket, around 250Â°F (about 121Â°C), should expect the meat to cook at a rate of about one hour per pound. Lower temperatures, such as 225Â°F (about 107Â°C), can take around an hour and a half per pound, which can make the cooking process quite a bit lengthier.
