Can you marinate brisket in a pan?

It is not recommended to marinate brisket in a pan. A pan is typically used for cooking food, not marinating it.

When marinating brisket, it is best to use a large resealable plastic bag or glass bowl. This allows the marinade to completely cover the brisket and helps to ensure that the flavor of the marinade is evenly distributed throughout the meat. Additionally, using a pan for marinating can cause the surface of the brisket to come into contact with air, which can lead to discoloration or spoilage.

Therefore, to properly marinate brisket, it is best to use a resealable plastic bag or glass bowl and refrigerate the brisket in the marinade for several hours or overnight, depending on the recipe.
