Easy Stove-Top - Remove corned beef from package and place in large pot with sufficient water to cover meat.  Bring to boil.  For a more robust flavor, add desired amount of enclosed spice packet to water.  Simmer approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours or until firmly fork tender.  Internal temperature should be at least 160 degrees F.  Remove meat from pot and let stand for 5-10 minutes.  Slice thinly across the grain and serve.

F).  Remove meat from oven and let stand for 5-10 minutes.  Slice thinly across the grain and serve.

Crock Pot - Remove from package and place in crock pot on rack with 1" of water.  Cover and cook for approximately 11 hours on low, or 5 hours on high or until firmly fork tender (160 deg.
