Notes
Can I use frozen brisket for this recipe?
It's not recommended to use frozen brisket directly in the slow cooker as it may affect the cooking time and result in uneven cooking. Thaw the brisket completely in the refrigerator before cooking for the best results. What size slow cooker should I use for this recipe?
A 6-quart slow cooker is ideal for this recipe as it provides enough space for the brisket to cook evenly without overcrowding. Can I add vegetables to the slow cooker with the brisket?
Absolutely! Adding vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and onions to the slow cooker along with the brisket can infuse them with delicious flavor and create a complete meal in one pot. I do this in my absolutely delicious slow cooker pot roast recipe. How do I know when the brisket is done cooking?
The brisket is done cooking when it's fork-tender. You can also use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of at least 190°F (88°C). Can I make this recipe ahead of time and reheat it later?
Absolutely! In fact, the flavors of the brisket often deepen and improve when it's allowed to sit overnight in the refrigerator. Simply reheat it gently before serving. How should I store leftovers?
Store leftover brisket and any accompanying vegetables and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage, but be sure to thaw it in the refrigerator before reheating.
