I did it in the crock pot once, but it was just ok. I prefer it boiled which I did yesterday...came out so good! I guess I'm a traditionalist!

Dandy, wish I could help you but I've done mine in the oven the last couple of years and prefer it that way. I sauté the cabbage stove top.

This 'recipe' came to me from Annie on the cooking forum, more in the form of notes to myself from following her steps....(Thank you, Annie)

Corned Beef Oven Baked

Costco 5#

rinsed well

soaked in the
refrigerator, took it out about the 4 hours mark

plunged it into a sink
of cold water, rinsing again.

double wrapped in foil,
putting some minced garlic, pepper, and added a little wine to the foil packet,
sealed it up.

350 for 15 minutes,
then reduced the heat to 245 and it cooked 5 1/2 hours more.

Not at all stringy, and
fork tender.

I have done it in my slow cooker for years.

Put sliced onions on the bottom of the pot to keep meat off bottom. Put the corned beef on top, add the potatoes and carrots around the meat. Add liquid to the middle of the meat. It will make a lot more liquid as it cooks. For liquid I have used water, beer, broth. I use water more often. Sprinkle the corned season packet on top. Cover and cook. I add wedges of Cabbage the last half hour.

Raven - how long please - and - on low or high?

Arcy - low or high? THANKS!

Low & slow: 6-8 hrs depending on the weight of the corned beef.

This is how I like to cook corned beef.

My Corned Beef

3 lb corned beef

2 t black peppercorns

Bag of spices included with corned beef

2 bay leaves

1 stalk celery

1 whole carrot

6 garlic cloves

1 onion, halved

a few allspice

1 cup white wine OR 1 cup apple juice

1 cup water or water just to cover corned beef

Soak corned beef in cold water for 24 hours to remove excess
salt. Drain.

One day before planning to eat, put corned beef in crock. Sprinkle spices included in small bag on
corned beef. Add bay leaves, celery,
carrot, garlic, and studded onion to the pot.
Add wine or apple juice and water to crock.

Turn crockpot on low and cook for 8 – 12 hours. Turn crockpot off and leave everything in
crock until the next day when going to eat (this allows to corned beef to
absorb all of the wonderful flavors).

Next day, turn crockpot back on low to heat beef. When thoroughly heated, remove the beef to a
plate to rest and slice.

I cook carrots, potatoes, and cabbage all separately.

My crock pot meal: put the corned beef in(3lbs+), slice the cabbage into 4 pieces, put on top. Add water up to the top of the beef. Sprinkle with table salt, add pkg of spices that comes w/ the beef. Put on high for 2.5 hours, low for 4 hours, then warm.

I love to sauté cabbage with onion and mushrooms. So good!

I love the way we all do things differently - and are happy with our results. From year to year I often forget a certain recipe, but with your help my beef will be yummy cooked in half beef broth and half stout. Plan to try other methods another time so thanks for your help.

Put potatoes in bottom of crock pot on low, added beef and seasonings and poured in half beef stock, half stout. It was quite yummy, but I was surprised to see, when done, it was half the original size. Thank you for all suggestions/replies.
