I throw a few cinnamon sticks in my pot when I choose to cook it in liquid. It's subtle, but it adds something. Diana P. March 16, 2014
I never add water to my corned beef...a good bit of Guinness does the trick...best flavor ever Rinchen March 15, 2014
I always steam the corned beef. It leaches the fat out and when cold slices easily. Tillys T. October 20, 2015
Thank you Richen for useful comment. Robert '. March 15, 2014
never boil it never put it in water buy the 20 cent a lb. more flat and roast it slow and low .. if you don't you have never had good Corned Beef! Briana G. March 12, 2014
Amazing links! I was really impressed with Serious Eats, and the approach he takes to cooking. It's very impressive. Can you weigh in on if using nitrates as opposed to coarse salt better or worse? It was interesting learning why some corned beef is pink and some isn't, but I'd like to know thoughts on this.
