I had a lovely little brisket I picked up on clearance just waiting to be turned into something delicious, but it was ridiculously hot outside. Sure, I could have smoked it, if I had a smoker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead it was time to bust out the slow cooker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slow Cooking Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While it is tempting to toss everything in the slow cooker and just let it cook, the results can be a bit anemic. Take a few extra minutes to brown the brisket on the stove will make it look better. But, more importantly it will caramelize the outside resulting in a juicier and more flavorful meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And be sure to deglaze the pan to get all of those yummy bits. That just means to pour a little liquid into the pan, scrape it down then pour the liquid and bits into the crock pot\/slow cooker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slow cooking times are not exact. There are a lot of variables such as the size of the slow cooker itself, the shape of the brisket, the starting temperature of the brisket, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
