I've been making this meal for more than 40 years. It is so easy and delicious. It's especially good served with a salad of peaches and cottage cheese.—Ruth Warner, Wheat Ridge, Colorado

My family loves corned beef and cabbage. I am not a fan, but I make it every year for them. This recipe is incredible! I actually cooked a 4 # corned beef with 6 cups of water in a pressure cooker (spice packets too) for 1 hour on high. I let it sit in the pot and cool for almost an hour before I served it with the sides. My family said that it was the best ever, and I have to say that I thought it was tasty also. I will make this every year going forward because of the ease and results.

Not everyone has made the investment of a pressure cooker, they are lovely tho and try to buy one when you are able. In the mean time use your crock pot, most all cooks have one in their kitchen arsenal! Cook for 8hrs on low. Remove and keep warm with some of the tasty broth and pour the remaining into a pot to cook the gabbage and carrots. Floury white Colcannon potatoes on the side with some soda bread and yer set for a festive night. As my

Grandmother Rose Flannagan would say, "Jasus, Mary and Hoooly Saint Joooseph, make due with what ye have."

I have used an electric pressure cooker for 45 years and I love it. This was a great recipe. You must try it!

For those who think you need a pressure cooker, you don't. This has been a staple in our diet all of my life. You just have to boil the beef for a couple hours. We call it Jigg's Dinner here and sometimes use slat pickled pork riblets instead

I grew up on corned beef and cabbage and love it. Unfortunately my pressure cooker is at my summer home and I can't get to it until April - too late for St. Pats day. Maybe St. Pats day in July will work!!!!

Perhaps in 2013 people could NOT give bad reviews when they haven't made the recipe? Pressure cookers are awesome, my electric Cuisinart amazes me every week with the delicious food I turn out, my slow cooker stays in the cabinet!

With regards to this recipe, a natural release between 10-15 minutes works great. I must disagree about cooking the vegetables separate. Either cook the brisket 6 minutes shorter then add the vegetables. Or, my preferred way since the meat usually takes a lot of space, cook the brisket all the way, remove it, cover with 1 cup broth, keep warm in a 200-degree oven. Then, make use of the delicious broth you've just made by adding the carrots, potatoes, and cabbage, and putting those in the pressure cooker for 6 minutes, use a quick release. Enjoy!

A delicious recipe for a favorite meal of mine! Enjoy!!!

If they don't specify a slow release, it is always a quick release. You dont want to cook the meat into a piece of leather! If you dont have a pressure cooker, go, now, and buy one!!! You will never regret it!! The modern woman needs this! With the age of microwaves, I can't believe the quickness of the pressure cooker is not enjoyed by more!
