If seasoning packet is included with corned beef brisket, pour it over the beef brisket after water is added. Close and lock pressure cooker lid. Use beef, stew or high-pressure setting on pressure cooker; program 70 minutes on pressure cooker timer. Use quick-release feature to release pressure; carefully remove lid. Remove beef; keep warm. Add potatoes, carrots and cabbage to pressure cooker. Close and lock pressure cooker lid. Use beef, stew or high-pressure setting on pressure cooker; program 3 minutes on pressure cooker timer. Continue as directed in Step 4. (This recipe variation was tested in an electric pressure cooker at high altitude. Cooking at an altitude of less than 3000 feet may require slightly less cooking time. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions.)

SLOW-COOKER CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Put the peppercorns, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, garlic and bay leaves in a piece of cheesecloth and tie tightly with butcher's twine to make a sachet. Put the corned beef in a slow cooker and pour enough water over it until just submerged (2 to 3 quarts). Add the sachet and brown sugar and cook until the meat is just tender, 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
• Two hours (on low) or 1 hour (on high) before the corned beef is done, add the carrots, potatoes and cabbage on top of the meat, making sure the veggies are submerged. Continue to cook until the vegetables are tender; if the beef is fork-tender and fully cooked but the vegetables still need time, remove the beef and tent with foil, then continue to cook the veggies until tender.
• Transfer the veggies to a bowl using a spider or slotted spoon and immediately toss with the rice wine vinegar.
• Slice the corned beef and plate with an assortment of the veggies and some Horseradish Mustard. Garnish with the chives.
• Combine the mustard, horseradish and brown sugar in a medium bowl and mix together until blended. Add more horseradish for extra burn!

CORNED BEEF, CABBAGE, AND POTATOES FOR THE (LAZY CHEF) CROCK POT

Steps:

• Rinse the corned beef under cold water, rubbing the meat gently to remove any thick juices.
• Place the corned beef in a large pot (at least 5.5 quarts, preferably 6-7) add the water, bay leaves, black peppercorns, allspice berries, and cloves. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and skim off any scum that rises to the surface (usually white foam). NOTE: you may need to replace some of the peppercorns, allspice berries, or cloves as they are sometimes discarded with the scum).
• Boil for about 15-20 minutes until water changes to a caramel color.
• Place corned beef in the crock pot, fat-side up, and gently pour the liquid from the pot into the crock pot. Be sure all the contents are transferred to the crock-pot. Cook on high heat for 9 hours.
• Using a spatula and tongs, place the corned beef back into the large pot (try to balance the corned beef on the spatula as it will tend to want to come apart at this point) Transfer the remaining contents of the crock-pot back into the large pot, cover, and bring to a gentle boil. Keep pot covered and simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove corned beef using the same method above, place on cutting board and cover tightly in aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Using a spoon, remove as many of the peppercorns, allspice berries, and cloves as possible. Add the cabbage and potatoes to the cooking liquid and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until vegetables are tender (20-25 minutes).
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cabbage to a large platter. Gently trim the fat from the corned beef brisket. Slice the corned beef, across the grain, into thin slices (1/4 - 1/2 inch). Place the slices over the cabbage and add the potatoes to either side. Season the corned beef with pepper. Serve immediately.
