Corned Beef Brisket Cooking Instructions:

OVEN: Set the oven for 350°F or no lower than 325°F. Place brisket fat-side up in a large pot that fits the brisket. Barely cover the meat with water — about 1inch — and cover with a lid or foil during cooking.  Allow about 1 hour per pound.

STOVE: Place brisket fat-side up in a large pot and cover it with water. Bring the water to a boil; then reduce the heat and simmer, allowing about 1 hour per pound. Vegetables may be added during the last 20 to 30 minutes of cooking. Cook vegetables to desired tenderness.

SLOW COOKER: If using root vegetables, put them in the bottom of slow cooker. Place brisket on top of vegetables (if using) or in bottom of cooker. Add about 1½ cups of water or enough to cover meat. Cover and cook on high setting for the first hour of cooking. Then cook for 10 to 12 hours on the low setting or 5 to 6 hours on high. Cabbage wedges may be added on top of the brisket during the last 3 hours of cooking.
