Curious1, I don't know if the corned beef cooked my way is more or less salty,
Since i have not cooked it any other way in so long- i don't know if rinsing it first would make it less salty, but mess with the flavor- I use many brands, (most really cheap ones) and they vary greatly in saltiness-
I have actually corned my own brisket, but wouldn't attempt it again, it just wasn't that good..
Oh, i'm getting hungry now, where's the mustard and horseradish!??
