Corned Beef in the Crock?!
Which is it?
Should I use more or less liquid and why?
Why is there such a difference in the recipies? What is the benefits/disadvantages of both types of recipies...
HELP!
THX!
Answers: I have seen several recipies for Corned Beef in the crock pot, and some call for 1-2 cups of liquid and some call for "liquid to cover the brisket".

CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
1 corned beef brisket
Several small red potatoes, unpeeled (about a dozen for 4 servings)
3 medium size onions
1 head cabbage
You will need a large crock pot for this. Put the potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot, pierced once with a fork. Put the corned beef on top of the potatoes along with the juices from the bag. Run water in the bag and measure one cup and add to the pot. Quarter 3 medium sized onions and put on top of the meat. Put lid on pot and cook on low 10 hours or a little more. Cut cabbage into about 6 wedges. Pour broth from crock pot over cabbage and steam until tender in a large frying pan. This meal is good served with Harvard Carrots or Corn on the Cob.
1-2 cups of water, especially in a crock pot, the cabbage goes in after 6 hours on low or 3 hours on high, pushing down so it will absorb the moisture. Usually the water content is the indicator as to weather you are using crock pot or just doing on stove top.
Covering the meat is old crockpot wisdom. I never do. Less liquid is better in the pot because liquid does not evaporate during cooking. I put the brisket on the bottom of the pot and the cabbage leaves on top with two cups of vegetable stock. Add whatever you like to the recipe, that is just a starting point. I never use water in slow cooking because broth has more flavor. If you want more of av stew, then you can cover the meat. Good luck.
