Required Kitchen Tools

When cooking slow-cooked brisket, the right tools make all the difference in flavour and tenderness. Here’s what you’ll need:
  1. Large Oven-Safe Pan or Dutch Oven – Perfect for searing the brisket and then transferring straight to the oven without changing pans.
  2. Sharp Chef’s Knife – To slice through the brisket cleanly once it’s cooked and rested.
  3. Cutting Board with Juice Groove – Brisket releases delicious juices when sliced, so a board with a groove helps catch them for serving.
  4. Meat Thermometer – To check that the brisket has reached the perfect internal temperature of at least 145°F for safe serving.
  5. Foil or Oven-Safe Lid – Essential for sealing in moisture during the long cooking time.
Having these essentials will make your brisket-making process smoother, more enjoyable, and ensure you get that James Martin level of perfection.
