N. Y. C. Corned Beef and Cabbage

Some type of flavor we didn't like. It may have been from the spice packet. The potatoes were totally overcooked and sloppy. I had to fish them out of the Dutch oven. The beef was from wholefoods and the packet must have had some spice that we didn't like

Excellent! Thank you

I've used this recipe for several years now, and it comes out awesome every time. A few notes: 1) I made 7 lb of corned beef per pot, with one head of cabbage, and extra potatoes. This was a good ratio. I cut my cabbage into 12ths for easy serving. 2) I usually make two pots, one which is of nicer quality and one which doesn't transfer heat as well. It's important to be patient while bringing it up to boiling (I burned the bottom of my corned beef in the lesser quality pot). 3) I made a little over 14 lbs in two 16 qt pots. Each pot easily could have handled another 3-3.5lb roast. One pot served 9 people.
