Thank you for this video!!! You saved my dinner when I realized I missed calculated the cooking time for boiling it But... this is our new favorite way to cook it and we will continue this tradition - best cornedbeef EVER!. Thank you!!!!

Before finding your video I had ordered the same pressure cooker, I received it today and thankfully your video shows me what to expect when using this particular model, I'm not new to pressure cookers but am new to this model. I also love corned beef and usually make mine in a covered Dutch oven inside the oven which comes out great. However I'm going to try it in the pressure cooker this year just for fun to make a comparison. Thank you!

I cook the veggies in a separate dutch oven on the stove top while the beef cooks in the pressure cooker. That way, you can control how much you want the veggies to be done.

Presto Stainless pressure cookers are the best! Mine is a 6 qt, with the old school center weighted “rocking” cover, and I adore the metronomic rhythm of it. I know this video is many years old, and I hope you’re still using your Presto. I’ve got a corned beef brisket going in mine right now.

I am doing corned beef now too. I love my Presto pressure cookers!!

I agree about this pressure cooker model. I have a couple expensive ones (non electric) pressure cookers that don't compare to the ease and outcome. You can put your cooker under water to bring the pressure down, when done cooking if you are in a hurry. Thanks

Thanks, I really have tried them all and this is my favorite. I'm going to try the sous vide method next.

It worked great. Sliced .5" thick in pot with 1.5 c water, beer and spice packet. Cooked 20 min- quick release- checked that meat was tender- added potatoes and carrots- cooked 3 minutes- quick release- cabbage wedges- cooked 1 minute- quick release. Done. This is a similar way I make beef stew.

I just got done doing one up in the pressure cooker it was great! Thank's!

Just saw this and I love it 👍, going to get my pressure cookers back out lol, I love corned beef, whole life I corned my own beef, made own bacon ect.. prices these days isn't worth doing own, no more butchers..

Probably watch this video nine times. I bought the presto cooker because of this review and every time I pull it out which is only about once a year I have to rewatch the video to make sure I use it right. I'm writing from 2022 so that work that math works out perfect.

Hi this is a great way to keep the flavour in for sure. One thing everyone might like to think about is the depressurization of your cooker after the the cooking time is up, the running water over it trick, to speed up rapidly the pressure drop process so you can get the lid off in quick time is widely used. If you imagine at the end of the cooking time the pressure, anything from 10-15 psi inside the cooker is equal right thru the liquid, air and any other matter in it, like meat or the spuds etc. If you depressurise too quickly the pressure around the matter reduces very quickly and the matter then has a higher pressure and thus a lot of moisture can be lost quickly into the cooking medium as the meat or solid matter equalises its pressure to the same as that around it! If you think it all tastes good now try letting the cooker come back to normal atmospheric pressure naturally and you will have an entirely better result. you will remember for sure some potatoes with eruptions in the side of them? this is the result of that equalization as the pressure suddently drops. enjoy your cooking!!!

Wow!! That was cool!!! Ive actually always like waiting for it to depressurize on its own!! Great teaching tho!!

Thanks for this recipe,I'll be making this St. Patrick's Day 2022 ! Could you please do one for smoked ham hocks ! 🎉🍾HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉🍾

Good video, I imagine it tastes great! You are right about the leafy cabbage, maybe even a minute or two in some boiling water is enough to cook it without wilting too much, thanks for posting.

That corned beef plate is looking migthy fine! I'm doing one tomorrow I may just bring out the pressure cooker. Thank's for sharing the video.

Thank you. Very informative. I am going to try this.

Thank you! I lost my instruction book. I still miss my old pot with the rocker! :(

Ok, sold on getting a pressure cooker! Looks great and in only a couple hours.

Looks great! Gotta love pressure cookers/canners. Kim

I have an aluminium presto cooker with the jiggler that doesnt seal as well so I got the exact one you have and it is soo much better.. Cost twice as much as the old one but i definately understand why now. Making this tonight.

I inherited my great grandmothers cast iron pressure cooker and the best thing ever. 100 Plus years strong never failed.

Yea I do it the same way you confirm it the best way

we made a home made pastromie last month, now i want to make a home made corned beef. do you have any suggestions or recipies? Thanks Tom for your helpful hints!

That right there is how its done. Overcooked cabbage is the way it should be. Should be almost mush!

Yuum! I have that same exact same pressure cooker-- it IS great. I'm going to try this but pre-slice the meat and check it after 20 minutes. Thanks for the great video!

How much water did you add in the pot to cook the corn beef?

I have never used any brand of pressure cookers. first, which brands have you tried? And is the Presto still your favorite? Also, just to be clear on the instructions. You said bring the pot to pressure over high heat then turn it down to medium heat or until the steam is NOT coming out and set a timer for 60 minutes after it's come to pressure. Then after 60 minutes, turn the heat off and let the pot naturally depressurize for 60 minutes.

Steam will always come out of a PC and if it dosent you better turn it off and clear away from it because it's going to explode like a bomb

Who are you rocking out to on the stereo?

On what planet does it take a pressure cooker an hour to depressurize of its own accord? I have the exact same pressure cooker as in the video and it always takes about 20 minutes to depressurize once removed from the heat.

+Tom's Test Kitchen Yeah, I always take mine out after the cooker depressurizes.... I put it on a platter and set it aside to rest while I prepare my veggies, also in the pressure cooker. Between prepping and cooking the veggies, the meat gets to rest a good 20 minutes before carving.

Thanks for the video. I plan to do this tomorrow on St Pat's Day. What level of pressure did you set the valve at, high = 2 or low = 1. I want to get the recipe done just right. Enjoy your St Patti's Corned Beef tomorrow, I will.

Sorry, just saw this. There is no valve settings on this cooker, it's either pressure or not.

I have been gifted a stainless 6Qrt Presto. It is awesome....while cleaning it after the first use I found that the coocking rack that comes with it is actually ALUMINUM! If you request a stainless rack from Presto, they will send you one...if you provide model # series# so forth

Is the meat (before it is cooked) a brisket of beef ?

Doesn’t the valve seal up the steam from escaping? Should be 100% sealed .. that’s what reduces cooking time

I thought u could release the pressure and steam by turning that knob at the end of cooking so u don't have to wait so long?

You can do that but you need to run the pot under cold water for a bit. There is too much pressure to release the steam at the end of cooking.

+Jan Coldwater It depends on the recipe. Some say to release the pressure right away, others say to let the pressure go down on it's own. And it takes about 15-20 minutes, not an hour+.

I think this is the oldest video I've watched here so far. Better late then not knowing. 11 years.

Well done. However, you could edit out much of nothing happening video and reduce the overall time to about half. Thanks, I learned something very useful in you preparation and execution of the Corned Beef Dinner.

Always Fat side down for the most tender.

This is a very good Presto Pressure Cooker. I have one like that, but I purchase a Cusinart Electric Pressure Cooker not so long ago and I can tell you it makes cooking easier and as fast as this Presto Cooker. Corned Beef is 45 min. The cooker regulates the pressure by itself, the timing is automatic, no watching or adjusting heat like these stove tops pressure cookers. Just fix it and forget it. Potatoes and cabbage, and also carrots, cook in an additional 3 Min. for this recipe. I simply will not use the stove tops pressure cookers, and I have 3 of them. They cannot compare with my Cuisinart electric pressure cooker by far. I use this cooker for almost everything. Vegetables, rice, roast, roasted chicken, soups, etc. Sorry, stove top pressure cookers.

Presto makes the absolute Best pressure cookers, mine is over 50 years old that my Mother gave me. LOL that cooker you have still has the "jiggly thing" 15# pressure weight. the new cookers have them built in because irresponsible people loose them :-) as a chef I don't like them, because they really aren't free floating and you don't get the true pressure. Electric pressure cookers on the other hand are the bomb in the kitchen they do everything for you and really allows the home cook to easily produce good food.

+triumphmanful you can let the steam out fast when cooking food, but most people advise against it because they are canning with a PC, not cooking. If you let the steam out quick with canning your jars can explode. that's why most people hear the advice not to let the steam out quick.

it just means your pressure inside is to high for the weight, turn your heat down slowly untill the steam is jiggling once or twice a min.
