If you prefer to heat in water instead of the microwave, do not puncture vacuum bag and place the package containing the corned beef into water that has been brought to boiling.
Heat for about 25-30 minutes.
The bag will be very hot after heating, remove carefully from the pot and place on a cutting board (do not yet open bag).
Allow to rest for at least 3 minutes.
Remove bag and carve by slicing against the grain of the meat.
General Guidelines
Cooking instructions are meant as guidelines only. Cook to recommended internal temperature guidelines and adjust cooking time if necessary. Size of appliances and weight of products will vary.
Cook with a calibrated food thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature of meats.
Cooking safely to medium doneness requires the meat to reach and hold an internal temperature of 145°F for at least 3 minutes.
Internal Temperature for other levels of doneness: Rare: 120-125°F; Medium Rare: 130-135°F; Medium Well: 150-155°F; Well Done: 160°F.
Appliances will vary; adjust cooking times as necessary to reach at least 145°F.
