In the bag with the little pack of seasoning included

Are you supposed to rinse the red liquid off before you cook?

I did traditional black eyes and cabbage today

I want to use leftover cabbage and cook the corned beef tomorrow

I do because that juice it is in is slimy as snot. Just a quick rinse, not a washing.

Put the corned beef in a pot, cover with water, add the seasoning packet and let it boil until the meat is tender. I usually cook it on a low boil for at least 2 1/2 hours.

As far as I know, the liquid is a brine. I’d rinse it but it’s not a huge issue if you don’t.

Yes it is, but it leaves the meat with a feel like you'd get with day old catfish in an ice chest.

Then if you put it in the water to cook like that, it will foam up pretty bad.

I prefer to drink my beer.


Next time you do a seafood boil, remove enough water from the pot to boil a corned beef until tender. Thank me later.

Cooked corned beef thousands of times a long time ago when I worked at a bar in Detroit.

Rinse, pat dry, cut some small slits about 1/4” thick then slather the fricker with chopped garlic. Toss into a pot and cover with water and add pickling spice. I always add a little bit extra mustard seed too. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cover for 3-6 hours depending on your preference for tenderness. If you want to chill then thin slice for reubens I would do closer to 3 hours. If you want it to fall apart, do 6.

If you don’t want to do it on the stovetop you can do it in a Dutch oven and throw it in the oven at 200* for the same time.

Woke up at 4:00 AM to throw mine in the crock pot. 9 hours later and it was melt in your mouth tender. Topped with horseradish sauce and it was a winner

Yes, rinse! Add a liquid crab boil to the pot.
