Currently Safeway has corned beef for $1.79/lb. Raleys, has it for $2.47/lb, or you can step up to round for $3.47/lb. They also have Black Angus and it's $3.77 and $3.97 for round. I happen to like Angus, so that price is okay with me. Whether I do a. corned beef this year remains to be seen.
A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a measure of energy content, usually used to describe the energy content of fuels. Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match. 1,000 Btu = four-fifths of the energy contained in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
British thermal unit (BTU), a measure of the quantity of heat, defined since 1956 as approximately equal to 1,055 joules, or 252 gram calories. It was defined formerly as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water 1Â° F. The definition was changed because it was dependent on the initial temperature of the water. Gas utilities frequently use a larger unit, the therm, defined as 100,000 BTU, as a measure of gas consumption. joule.
