That's the 3rd time I've seen that recipe at SurHiTab. It's also in my Kuhn
Rikon cookbook and on the Cooks Illustrated website.

Well anyway, I just finished up the corned beef I've been munchin' for the
last 3 days. It came out real nice. I didn't go for all the veggies, only
wanting cabbage. I cooked the corned beef in 1 C water and added the
cabbage at the very end and only cooked it for 5 mins. The beef was
exquisitely tender and the cabbage was just right. I reduced the water to 1
C because I didn't want to leach out all the flavor. I still had plenty of
liquid left. I think I'll try just 1/2 C of water next time.
