@Ainhisg I've always made mine on the stove top, but I was looking into an oven version and yours looks delicious.  I've copied it and will use it.  Sometimes, after St. Pat's Day, the corned beef briskets will go down in price and I'll pick up one or two to have at later dates.

@Lilysmom1 no need to soak; just rinse the brisket well with cool water.  Enjoy!

@PansyBoo --I have tried cooking corned beef in the oven. I think I even tried it in the pressure cooker too and it just wasn't good--my tried and true is in the crock pot. It needs a good long time to get tenderand plus it smella really good too. i also used to dump in the spuds, carrots and cabbage chunks along with it---they turned to mush---too much cooking for them. I now add the veg about an hour before the meat is done---and if they aren't fully cooked I take out the meat and just let the veg cook for a few more minutes.

@NYwoman --I have put a steamer in the crock pot above the meat and added the veggies to it to steam without submerging into the cooking liquid--that works pretty good---I do like cabbabge cooked in the liquid tho---but agree about the others being too greasy sometimes.

Thank you so much for replying and for the tips on the cooking of the vegetables. The crock pot method would certainly be easy enough to do. I'm just hoping no matter how I cook it that it turns out better then the one I made years ago....it's been so long I can't even remember how I cooked it back then. I do recall it just seemed so fatty. Maybe I just got a bad piece of meat...we'll go with that theory. LOL!!! 

Thanks again,

This is exactly what we'll be having for dinner on Sunday. My SO makes it every year and it sure is tasty. I'm sure your family enjoyed their meal.

Nothing better than cooking corn beef in a crockpot.  I add my cabbage the last hour.

@PansyBoo just read your previous comment.  Make sure you cut off as much fat as you can.  It will not affect the flavor.  Besides that, just make sure you rinse it very well with cool water. In case you don't remember from the last time you cooked one, these shrink A LOT during cooking.

@PansyBoo ---corned beef is always fatty--I always trim alot of the excess fat off before I cook it. Theres no way you can get all the fat off---but the big chunks--I do cut it off.
