HYDROCARBONS. These compounds form the simplest form of lipids, they contain only carbon and hydrogen. They may be divided into aliphatic hydrocarbons with a carbon chain which may be linear (normal), branched, saturated (alkanes) or unsaturated (alcenes), cyclic hydrocarbons and carotenoids.Several hydrocarbons may be substituted with oxygen-containing groups.

Bake the brisket in a preheated oven at 300 F for 4 to 6 hours, turning it every 90 minutes so each side is immersed in the cooking liquid approximately half of the time. It's done when you can easily slide a fork or the tip of a paring knife into the meat.
Timing note: Total cooking time is usually 1 to 1Â½ hours per pound, but start checking after 1 hour per pound. If the beef is taking too long to cook, you can increase the oven temperature to 300 - 325 degrees F to hurry things along. In some cases, brisket will cook a bit faster than you expect it to.
