Turned out fantastic! Most recipes have too much sodium. This is just what my family wanted. No leftovers! Too good.
I’m so happy to hear you loved the recipe, Laurie!
If you cuttherecipe in half, do you change the cooking time?
If you only use 1 pound of corned beef I would recommend decreasing the cook time to 60 minutes.
if I have a five pound brisket, can I cut in half and stack in the instapot? how would it effect the cooking time?
The cooking time would be about the same. You could add 10 minutes if you’d like to be sure.
