Hello all. As st patricks day approaches i am beginning to think about my yearly pastrami cook. In years past i have bought corned beef and did a 24 water bath to get rid of the salt before i cook. I plan to do the same this year. I have a few questions below.
-for the 24 hour desalting process, i usually change water a few times. Has anybody gone more than 24 hours?
-im thinking of cooking the day before (Friday, then once cooked put in fridge and slice on meat slicer the next day) What temp should i cook too if im doing the mentioned process?
-what rub have people been happy with on the pastrami/corned beef?
-regarding reheating the next day once sliced, i plan to make reubens and in the past i have put the sliced meat in a steamer basket for a few minutes just to warm it up, any other ideas?
thanks
