I love corned beef brisket I've cooked it on the stovetop, in a crockpot
and baked in the oven. It doesn't seem to come out any better or worse no
matter how I cook it. I do par-boil it then put it in fresh water if I'm
going to add vegetables to it. I don't mind salt but I don't want the
potatoes and cabbage to taste overly salty as a result of the brine.
