Pro Tips
Don't Overcook - Make sure to not overcook as your brisket can turn mushy or tough.
Low Heat - We like to cook out meat on low. Brisket seems to cook better on low.
Let Meat Rest - Before shredding meat, let meat rest to lock in the juices and retain the moisture. Cutting meat to early will result in dry meat.
Slice the Brisket - Instead of shredding the beef, you can slice in thinly slice pieces.
How to Tell when Brisket is Done
When cooking Brisket in the slow cooker the results should be fork-tender brisket. Your brisket should be able to slice as well as shred if you prefer.
Fork Test - If the brisket edges can easily be shredded then your brisket is done. We recommend you tongs to hold up your brisket. If it keeps it shape then, your brisket is done.
Meat Thermometer - When cooking meat, we recommend to have a meat thermometer. This ensures your meat is cooked to the right temperature. When you test your brisket it should show an internal temperature between 195 degrees to 215 degrees.
It is possible to overcook your Brisket in a Slow Cooker. If you leave your brisket in the slow cooker to long it could result in mushy, tasteless meat.
