Title: How you cooking your corned beef?
Post by: 206 on March 16, 2013, 07:21:07 PM: Grew up with the boil method and have done since, but have hearing more and more about steam baked with BEER.

Cured my own Cash&Carry brisket a few years ago. It cost more than store bought and was too salty, but some day I may try again since it does have potential.

That's my prefered method. Just have to remember to get up early to get it started. I put the spuds and the carrots in at the same time. Cabbage I steam first and then let it sit in the pot with the rest of the goodies as I let it rest for a half hour or so before serving.

I've got a machine down and didn't make my plans for our St. Patty's dinner in advance. Went to Costco and they had a 3#er pre-cooked you just throw in the microwave for 18 minutes. I knew I was going to regret it, but I bought one anyway. It was actually great!!! Sliced it medium and then fried it in butter and peanut oil real quick just to give it a little edge crispiness. Very surprised it was as good as it was. Might have to purchase a few more for those days we get home late and nobody wants to cook. Won't replace our traditional method for most occasions. But one heck of a lot better than a TV dinner or Campbell's soup. Made some killer Ruben's for lunch too!

My grand parents use to do boiled dinner in a pressure cooker. I miss the sounds and smells of cooking that way!

My Mama made Cornbeef and cabbage dinner for us, it was glorious. :drool: :drool:

Post by: Southpole on March 18, 2013, 11:23:53 AM: My corned beef turned out exactly the way I DIDN'T want it to. I've crock potted and boiled corned beef plenty of times successfully and they both work great. However... I don't like it when I cook it too long where the dang thing falls apart in a million pieces :bash: . I like my corned beef tender, but firm. I know better too. Uhhh!! :bash: I did redeem myself with my traditional Irish colcannon. Lumpy mashed potatoes with shredded cabbage, onion, butter, milk, salt and pepper all mixed together... yum.

Post by: Fishaholic on March 18, 2013, 11:56:40 AM: first i put the corned beef in my slow cooker then i add 2 bottles of guiness in the crock pot. Then i add a shot or 2 of water then turn it on high for 3 hours then turn it on slow to simmer for 5 hours. pretty easy and its all gone at the end of the night lol

Crock pot, takes bout 8 hours though.

Put your corned beef in the crock pot, then pour a (thawed) can of frozen concentrate orange juice over it, cook on low 8-9 hours.

Trust me! :tup:
