Hi, just wanting recommendations on the best way to do a corned beef for tomorrow. Is stove top best, or should I use the crockpot!
I have read another recipe where you wrap the corned beef in tinfoil and bake for a couple of hours as well, which interested me, but I'm not aware of anyone who's tried that method/what the results were.

on the stove top for me. Didn't like it in the slow cooker. it becomes too soft with no texture left to the meat.

We had the last corn beef over the stovetop as the crock pot inner is broken. Was really yummy. I basically just followed the edmonds recipe but used maple syrup instead of golden syrup as had none. Quite different to just the nutmeg and cinnamon I tend to do in the crock pot.

Always do it in the crockpot, golden syrup, little dash of vinegar, bay leaves, sliced onion, I find no different to the texture, it comes out lovely and moist, tender, wouldn't go back to cooking on the stove top.Each to their own way.

My mate told me her nan did hers with honey drizzled all over, and cookedin the oven, actually have not tried it yet, but she swears it turns out really delious every time. The sweetness of the honey works well with the saltytness of the meat.

I always throw mine in the slow cooker frozen on low. That way whenit is cooked but doesn't fall apart.

Cook in microwave! Jan Bilton recipe - 1.5kgs corned beef, 1 1/2 cups water, carrots, onions, cloves and pepper corns or use what you normally add. Casserole dish with fitting lid, 9 mins on high or until water is just boiling. Cook 1 hr, turn meat 1/2 way through. Meat is more like a cross between ham and corn beef, doesn't split or open as stove cooking method, a little bit saltier but certainly goes further and slices easy cold or hot.

I always use the Crock pot, cook it in ginger ale or beer and golden syrup, and pop a few whole cloves in the meat, about 4. Fabulous, no other way to cook it I reckon. Also good for pickled pork.
