    I normally get the one wrapped in plastic in brine, don't know about the one from the butcher, sorry!! You normally cook corned beef for an hour per kilo. I add a couple of carrots cut in half, large onion cut in half, bay leaf, about six cloves, 6 peppercorns, powdered mustard, brown sugar, vinegar and nutmeg. Place meat in and cover with water. Bring to simmering point and when simmering cook as I said, 1 hour per kilo. YUMM!!

    I make my own sauce with butter, flour and milk then add nutmet, seeded and hot english mustard and grated cheese. My DH LOVES it, (so do I as a matter of fact LOL!!)

    I am sure your IL's will love it. ENJOY!!

    Ah thanks I hope it is the right one lol I have added brown sugar pepercorns a bay leaf and covered it with water that is what I did last time. It is nearly 2 kilos in size I put it on at 8.15 on low and I dont plan on taking it off until about 6.

    I will let you know how it turns out.

    Sorry HotMumma!!

    Edited my post just after I added it!! I hope I didn't confuse you....I am sure that the one you have is just fine. I think the only difference is if you had the one in brine then you wouln't be able to roast it. Think I have heard that if you do that then it turns out like rubber LOL!! So the one from the butcher that you have is ok. Just don't ever bake the one from Coles.....hope that hadn't confused you even more. The longer you cook it the more tender it will be. Also the thinner you slice it the better it is. If you slice it too thick it can get a bit tough. Please let us know how it goes.
