I really looked forward to cooking and serving my brisket in this piece for Rosh Hashanah. I have made many holiday briskets over the years, but this year’s brisket took forever to cook in this piece. It is a beautiful serving dish and I will continue to use it for salads or as a serving dish, but not withstanding that it is oven safe to 500°, it did not seem to conduct enough heat to cook my brisket. I was very disappointed.
