Corned beef (or Silverside) is one of our favourite family meals and I always buy a big piece so there is plenty leftover for cold meat for sandwiches the following day. Hints for cooking Corned Beef: Method 1: Put corned beef into a large pot of cold water. Bring to the boil, then remove meat and pour off all water – this removes a lot of the impurities and excess saltiness. Refill the pot with cold water, bring back to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 1 hour per kilo. Method 2: Rinse the corned meat before cooking. In most supermarkets corned meat is sold in vacuum-sealed bags that contain some of the brining liquid. It’s best to rinse the corned meat in cold running water before cooking to remove any surface brine, which can give an overly salty taste. Method 3: Soak corned meat in a bowl of cold water for a little while, overnight in the fridge if
possible, to draw out excess salt. Place the corned meat in a large bowl and cover with water. Refrigerate the meat until you are ready to cook it. • 1/2 tspn bi-carb-soda helps soften the fibres and preserves the colour of the meat.
