Notes

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
  • Add Flavorful Ingredients - Enhance the taste of your pressure cooker corned beef by adding aromatic ingredients like garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns to the cooking liquid. These additional elements infuse the meat with extra layers of flavor during the pressure cooking process.
  • Use a Trivet for Better Results - Placing a trivet at the bottom of the pressure cooker prevents the corned beef from sticking to the surface and facilitates even cooking. Elevating the meat allows for better circulation of steam and ensures consistent tenderness.
  • Natural Release for Texture - After pressure cooking, allow the cooker to naturally release pressure for a few minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure. This helps the corned beef retain its juices and maintain a more desirable texture.
