FAQ
Because pressure cookers utilise steam to cook food very quickly, they are the perfect choice for cooking meals such as beef brisket that can take a much longer time than slow cookers, yet provide almost identical results.
It's a tough cut of meat, which is why the best way to cook brisket is a low-and-slow method: Long, slow cooking makes it tender.
You can use a dedicated smoker, a charcoal grill with wet wood chips or a gas grill with wet wood chips set for indirect heat. It's important to note that BBQ is the process of low, slow dry heat cooking. Grilling is high heat, fast cooking, it's not BBQ. Cook the brisket for 7 to 10 hours.
With evaporation stopped, the heat of your smoker pulls ahead in the battle of the stall. The temperature of the meat begins to rise again -- which you want because brisket gets more tender the longer you cook it.
Why is my brisket still tough after 8 hours in the slow cooker? If your brisket is tough after 8 hours, it likely needs to be cooked longer in order to bread down the connective tissues and tenderize the meat. Even 30-60 minutes can make a world of difference! Continue to cook until the brisket is tender.
