Nutrition Facts:

Do I Need to Soak Corned Beef Before Cooking?

If you’re planning to bake your corned beef, soak it in cold water for at least 15 minutes to make it less salty. If you’re boiling it, rinse it a few times before putting it in the pot.

How Long Should I Cook My Corned Beef?

If you’re baking it, cook your corned beef at 325°F for about an hour for each pound. If you’re boiling it, let it simmer for about 50 minutes for each pound.

Do You Put Corned Beef Fat Side Up or Down?

Always place your corned beef with the fatty side facing up, whether you’re baking or boiling it. This helps the fat melt over the meat, keeping it juicy and adding flavour.

Which Way Do I Cut Corned Beef?

Slice your corned beef against the grain for tenderness. But if you’ve cooked it perfectly, you can shred it with a fork, and it won’t matter which way you slice it.
