Crock Pot Corned Beef | Slow Cooker Beef | Corned Beef Recipe

I use my slow cooker almost everyday, so I was surprised to learn that many people only use their slow cookers to cook corned beef.  Having said that, the slow does take the stress out watching a pot on the stove - something that is just not possible for cooks these days, and it does a wonderful job of making the most tender and delicious meat!

If you have a slow cooker with multiple inserts, you don't have to worry about the size of the piece of meat you choose.  I find my round 3 quart slow cooker can take up to a 4 pound (2kg) piece of corned beef, so long as it is a cube, rather than a rectangle.

My mum has limited pantry space in her RV, so when she's on the road, to cook corned beef in her slow cooker, she just buys a bottle of gingerale at the same time as the meat and cooks it in that.  Yes, just two ingredients, the piece of corned beef and sufficient gingerale to cover or almost cover the meat.  No other spices required!
