Do you rinse your corned beef off

Annamarie — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 22:18:39 GMT

before cooking or put it in as is with the juice from the bag? I was reading different recipes and they all varied. Just wondering what other people do.

Yes, I rinse mine first. Then I put in my slow cooker along with 1/2 c. red wine vinegar and 1-1/2 c. water or dark beer along with bay leaves, garlic cloves, peppercorns. I just made one and had rueben sandwiches last night!

Yes. In fact, I not only rinse it, I then bring it to a boil then toss that first pot of water. It gets some of the excess salt out of it. I then bring the corned beef to a boil with all the seasonings, and continue with my recipe.

We went out for corned beef and cabbage and it was like eating a salt lick, I was so disappointed, it goes to show corned beef is not an easy thing to cook

Thanks! I will rinse it off. It's my first time cooking one. I read bring to a boil and then simmer 50 minutes per lb, For a 3 lb, add potatoes and carrots after 2 hours then add cabbage for the final 15 min. Hope it works, thanks again.

Never, while I do pat them dry I've never thought they were that salty. Now I can't eat a brined turkey.

I rinse every type of meat off once I remove it from the package - beef, pork, chicken, everything.

I always rinse my corned beef well before placing it in the pressure cooker with 2 cups water and a tea-ball of the spice packet plus some Penzey's corned beef spices and Penzey's Pickling spices. A couple jiggers of Worcestershire sauce and set it on high for 60 minutes. Once done, I remove and tent it while I cook my cabbage, carrots and potatoes for 6 minutes on high.

Less than 1 1/2 hours start to finish and your eating a tasty meal.

Enjoy!

I rinse it off twice and then bake it in the oven. I let it come to a slow boil two times then I bake. This is a very salty meat unless you like a lot of salt I would boil first then drain out the water and boil again drain off the water then cook as desired.

Yes I do rinse it off and then trim some of the fat off. This year I did what a couple posters suggested--brought the meat to a boil 2 times and then will slow cook it according to an American Test Kitchen recipe I found. Also I'm not going to use the enclosed packet of spices as per ATK, they usually are stale. Will put in fresh spices and add chicken broth plus water to cook in. No veggies except onions and garlic and the spices. Will cook the spuds and carrots in the strained broth on top of the stove to prevent them from over cooking.

My aunt, who used to own a restaurant, swore by soaking the corned beef overnight in water. The next day she emptied the water and rinsed off the corned beef before cooking.

Nope I don't rinse it. I just dump the whole thing in my pot, add a chopped onion and water and let it come to a boil. Delicious!!!
