    Mrs J I love corned beef too, but please don't tell me you boil it death like all these pubs in NYC will do on St. Pats day and the people flow in like they're getting a good meal. Boil it first but then put it in the oven (or broiler) and slather on some mustard and sugar on the top so it will brown, perfection !!

    I put mine in my crock pot on low.

    That sounds delish Mrs. Jones. Wish I was in the neighborhood.

    (Hoping I don't get yelled at for going OT ) I have a new obsession. I have always been a rare roast beef gal, but DNCall convinced me to try the brisket at his local deli. He was right and now I want to cook brisket ALL the time. A-ddicted. So much flavor. Which brings me back to the topic...I guess brisket is the cut used for corned beef, right?

    Do you use a slow cooker for the corned beef?

    Well, I love corned beef, whether in a sandwich or not. At the store here, it comes with a spice packet, and is easy to make. Just boil it for four hours, add your red potatos, cabbage, and carrots towards the end. If you're lazy just toss it in the crockpot before you go to work. That'll be a popular dish this Saturday, to be washed down with vast amounts of creamy delicious Guinness.

    Been thinking corned beef for weeks. Bought 7lbs yesterday at $2.49/lb. Slow cooking now with lentils.

    Never tried it that way. Sounds like a good combo. It is either lamb, bacon or chorizo when I make lentils.

    My corned beef will be ready to slice up in a couple hours-it's been simmering all day
