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.
The British thermal unit (BTU or Btu) is a traditional unit of work equal to about 1055 joules. It is the amount of work needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit (Physical analogue: one four-inch wooden kitchen match consumed completely generates approximately 1 BTU). BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 avoirdupois pound of liquid water by 1 degree Fahrenheit at a constant pressure of one atmosphere. calorie, several definitions of the BTU exist, because the temperature response of water to heat energy is non-linear.
