If you like corned beef you might actually try the recipe instead of
just reading it. There's no effort to it unless draining and
refilling a pot is hard work for you. The finish in the oven makes a
much bigger difference (for the better) than I had anticipated the
first time I did it. I differ from the recipe in that I cook the
cabbage separately (in water dipped from the big pot) so I can better
control the barely-cooked state we like and so I can add just a teensy
bit of soy sauce to it. -aem
