I bought a 3 lb. corned beef brisket. I rinsed it and put it in the crock
pot. I added a cup of water, the seasoning packet (which is basically just
chopped bay leaves and mostly white peppercorns). I threw in a couple of
extra bay leaves and about four pearl onions. I set it to High so it should
be nice and fork tender in about 5 or 6 hours. In the last hour or so I'll
add a quartered, cored cabbage and some new potatoes... I'll add more liquid
then if needed. I could just have easily have done this in a pot the stove.
But a crock pot is perfect for this. Hands off, no fuss cooking. I can sit
out back with a book and not think about watching over the stove Happy
Saint Patrick's Day, everyone!
