@Noel7 I was just wondering about doing that! If you wouldn't mind sharing - how long did you cook it, and also how much water did you use... did it cover the corned beef totaly?

Hi @toja

We made it based on Bob Warden's directions. 2 to 3 pounds at 70 minutes, 4 to 5 pounds at 85 minutes. Ours was 3 1/2 pounds and we cooked it 70 minutes.

We put in on the rack in the Instapot and put in enough water to cover it just a bit and used the natural release for 15 minutes and opened it afterward.

Thank you @Noel7! Can't wait to make it tomorrow Sounds so easy and quick...

My corned beef dinner in my crock pot was horrible!!! I bought a no nitrate/nitrite, hormones/anti b free, unprocessed brisket that cost me a bloody arm and a leg and it was gross and disgusting tasting--had this wierd taste as did the veggies I put in there with it. It wasn't spoiled or anything but I guess all those noxious things in the regular cut is what makes it taste good. It had its own packet of seasonings too. Have alot left--now what do I do with it. Hubby said the meat was ok---maybe a hash using new vegs? Just didn't have that corned beef taste we all love!!! Grrrrr!!!!

I'm so glad yours came out good in the IP...mine didn't

I followed Meredith's recipe for the pressure cooker. It said 55 mins. I had the exact size meat the recipe listed. It was kinda tough. I don't think 55 mins. was long enough.

I had two...the other I baked. Fat side up, 1.75 hrs/lb. in a heavy duty foil tent. It was FANTASTIC! SO tender!

A previous poster Kacky, had posted this method a long time ago. I then used a glaze of Apricot preserves, horseradish and dijon mustard. Broiled for a few minutes more.

The baked won hands down with my guests.

No contest actually!

I bought 2 more on sale yesty at Aldi's, but honestly, while the baked took longer...it was well worth the wait. I'm afraid to take a chance trying the IP again since even on sale, those dang corned beefs are pricey!

jumping in here

I added an onion the spice pack, usually add carrots water to cover
Instant Pot has a meat setting so I used that and opened after 15 minutes

I always added onion, also, but not long ago my daughter came down with an allergy to onions, it literally happened overnight.

Actually, it's called a "food sensitivity" but it acts the same as an allergy, it can kill her. Gives her hives, makes her throat swell dangerously, etc. She has to carry an EPI pen because restaurants etc. may tell you there is no onion in something, but there really is.

@Noel7 We tried sauté but then the pot always stopped working and signaled burn during the pressure cycle...any tips

I read about this @dex! There is another brand that does an Instapot and they overheat and can be dangerous. You are supposed to take it back.

I will look for mention online for you!

Is this yours @dex ?

One type of Instant Pot overheating and melting

Instant Pot multicookers were among the hottest gifts this past holiday season.
The cookware maker has asked users of one model to discontinue usage immediately due to "overheating, resulting in localized melting damage to the underside of the product," it announced on Facebook.
Some users complained they've been waiting many weeks for a solution.
Other models are not affected.
