You must be a fan of that salty slime that coats the meat when you take it out of the packaging. Oh well, to each his own.

i did the recipe just as it was written and it was the best ever. i had two helpings! rinsing the beef made all the difference—it’s usually so salty i struggle to finish it but this was perfect. i used a 7oz coronita plus 5oz of water. i did cook the cabbage separately as it never fits: filled a small anyday dish, added a pat of butter, nuked it for 90 seconds, perfect! if you haven’t tried those anyday dishes, you’d be amazed. (the potatoes, carrots, garlic and onions were 8 hours in the crockpot, though, never fear.)

In reply to Kathleen Charles. The corned beef creates more liquid, that's why I don't add too much more. But it truly doesn't hurt to add more.

Something I learned the hard way, and you might consider slightly adjusting your recipe. Water or other liquid should cover the meat by at least one inch. If I followed your recipe, part of my corned beef (under water) would be tender and the remaining part (above the water line) would be tough. Pots vary in size, this requirement does not. Just thought you’d like some feedback. Other than the water issue, it is a stellar recipe!

In reply to Brian S. We can agree to disagree, most stove top recipes boil the corned beef to get that saltiness off, so rinsing well is a must. But of course you can do whatever you'de like.

1. You do not rinse corned beef brisket before cooking. You’re just rinsing off flavor.
2. The brisket should be placed on top of veggies. The only exception is cabbage which is added later.

This is the very best corned beef and cabbage recipe I’ve ever made! I substituted beer for the water. Cooked on low. My husband loved it and we are planning to have Reuben Sandwiches with the corned beef. Thanks so much for the marvelous recipe.

In reply to Lorraine. I would add them the last 2 hours or so, they do take a while to cook in the slow cooker.

I like my carrots tender crisp and not too soft. Should I wait to add them later instead of at the beginning?

I made this dish for the first time today. It is delicious! We like lots of veggies so I used a whole pound of carrots, two onions, and a whole head of cabbage in addition to the potatoes. I also used four garlic cloves. I waited to add the cabbage because we don’t like soggy cabbage. I cooked it for a total of 9 hours. The corned beef is tender and delicious. I will definitely make this again and again.

I just wish corned beef didn’t come with so much fat on it. I spent 20 minutes cutting off as much fat as I could before putting the meat in my slow cooker. That’s the only downside to making this dish.

In reply to Jeann.

If you cooked yours for 12 hours I don’t see how cooking using this recipe for 8 hours it would be done. I will try the 8 hours first since I don’t want to over cook everything.
