Pastrami Update
The pastrami was wonderful! DH said "it tastes like pastrami" meaning
that I did good. :-) We have a big chunk left over for another meal. I'll slice it cold to get the thinnest possible slices. I remember when I was a little girl we'd go to a Kosher deli and the man at the counter would take this big slab of pastrami out of a steaming box and slice it to order. That's what mine tasted like. Thanks for all your hints and helps, guys. I love you all. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

I went by temperature rather than time, so it was at 150° when I took it off. In the styrofoam cooler wrapped in foil for about 2 hours. Was still hot. In the pressure cooker, 20 minutes under pressure and I let the pressure fall on its own. We won't get another meal out of it. He just had some for lunch. There is another corned beef in the freezer, so I'll do a repeat in a couple of months. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

It was developed near the beginning of WWII and was sort of a standard during those difficult times. I haven't seen one in years. The Presto plant was very near where I grew up. I think it's dormant now. Kent |
