Slow cooker fans, corned beef brisket

Joe Bob · Joe Bob's Garage

Slow cooker fans.....Stater Brothers and other markets are discounting the left over Corned Beef Briskets from St Pat's Day......I just got 6lbs for under 10 bucks.

Salsa, 1/4'd onions, crushed cayenne peppers, garlic, and whatever else is in the fridge that has been getting uppity.....12-14 hours later......gnarly pulled beef. I have 6 freezer canisters.....1/2 lb each, bachelor sandwich fare for a month.

DO NOT smoke a store bought corned beef brisket. I speak from first-hand experience. It will be so salty it is inedible. You have to boil it to lessen the salinity.

Not smoking it.....slow cooker/crock pot.....with water and salsa....

Pressure cooker makes it great.

Used pressure cooker here as well. Takes a lot longer than a regular brisket though. About twice as long for me...about an hour and fifteen minutes under pressure.

i pressured cooked mine. SUCKED!! the meat turned out great, but the process is nerve racking to me. my cooker is sketchy. i feel like i have a bomb in my kitchen for the hour and a half. i cant relax.

i should invest in a new (better) one for safety's sake.

yeah the pressure cooker makes great pate out of meat.

I like the crock pot, but kinda went

at the use of salsa in the slow cooker.

I usually use plain chuck roast too, not corned beef.

Raw veggies in the slow cooker with cabbage on top.

I use what is CHEAP.....at 1.49 a pound......WTF?

I usually go with a cheap pork shoulder......anyways, the kids and my Momz have been "sampling" during the process. Keeps getting better and better. We turned it off over night.
