I am going to try corned beef and cabbage this year. Question...if I buy a corned beef that already has the seasonings on it,do I add those seasonings when I put the brisket in the crockpot? Will gluten free beer work the same as regular beer? I assume it will. Any other tips you can throw out so my corned beef will make my husband's Irish ancestors proud? ( yes,I know corned beef isn't really Irish). Thanks in advance!

I never baked corned beef before, but tried it last weekend.

I simmered it for 3 hours on top of the stove, then dried it off and baked it for 15 minutes a pound at 325 degrees.

It was on the Wegmans label on the brisket.

It turned out MUCH better than an eight hour soak in the slow cooker.

The fat on top of the brisket melted away, and what was left browned up nicely.

I have one in my slow cooker right now! I add 1 c. water and 1 c. dark beer (stout) to slow cooker. Then I rub the beef with the spice packet, and more whole peppercorns, garlic and onion powder, celery seed, and 2 T. brown sugar. Add to slow cooker, fat side up. Cook on low for 8 hours. I always get rave reviews.

Don't you have to cook on top of the stove anywhere to keep rinsing the salt out? This is the meat that you have to rinse the salt out right?
