Conversion Help?

[amarettosours]

I'm freaking! I re-read this recipe at least 5 times, went out, got the ingredients, and re-read it one more time (what can I say, I'm excited) and realized it's not for the crock pot! I've been googling all kinds of conversion websites and I'm really intimidated. I'm a "please hold my hand" person when it comes to cooking a new recipe and I spent

I would proceed exactly according to the recipe, including time, moving the brisket to the crock where you reduce the heat. Sounds very yummy!

I am totaly just GUESSING, but I would imagine you would be fine if you just cut out the water. The juices from the brisket sould help create enough water for a gravy and to keep it moist. But again, totally just guessing.

Or maybe 1/2 cup water instead of a whole cup?

I would leave it as-is, as well - brown it in a dutch oven and when you would reduce to med-low, transfer to the crock pot. If the sauce is WAY too thin, cook uncovered for 15 min or so at the end.

If you have extra gravy, it's no big deal. Not enough gravy - is a problem!

Personally, I wouldn't put a brisket in the crock for the first cook. You want to slice it and serve it, and the crock pot will just make it fall apart. That, and it is a huge cut of meat... I've never put one in a crock unsliced.

Whenever I do a holiday brisket (usually Passover and Hanukkah are the ones I'm in charge of) I marinate it overnight at least 2 days before, bring it to room temp, and cook it on 325F 50 minutes per pound. Then I slice it, put it back in the liquid, and wait until serving. To "reheat" (because it will be a little pink, and cook more) I put it in the oven on 350. I usually add potatoes and carrots at this point, so when they are done, I take it out - about 45 min - 1 hour. I also make sure there is enough liquid (adding beef stock and wine if need be). This is when, if I am bringing it to a party, I stick it in a crock. In that case, I put the sliced beef on the bottom, add the veggies, and make sure there is liquid to cover. Then I heat it on high for at least an hour.

i want to go to that party!

I've got ideas, but, I'm curious, what do you marinate it in?
