    More of a question than a review. The ingredients call for 5 cups of water, divided. But the instructions only use 1/2 cup. When does the other 4-1/2 cups come in?

    I should have trusted the liquid. I didn’t think it was enough so i put in 2 cups. I ended up boiling my vegies. The taste however was great! I will come back to this recipe again and trust the liquid. 🙂

    I don’t know where you’re getting 5 cups of water in this recipe I followed the recipe just like it and it came out fine. Clearly 1 cup of water

    This was so easy and delicious! Followed the directions exactly. Loved that everything was done in one pot and the Veggies were seasoned well!

    Best corned beef and cabbage i have ever made. Make sure to tent meat while cooking veggies or it will dry out.

    This was our favorite recipe so far that we’ve made in the Instant Pot. The beef fell off the fork and the vegetables were terrific. Great recipe!

    I made this with a 4.5lb Corned Beef and instead of water I used vegetable broth. Cooked for 90 minutes on the meat/stew setting and it was fabulous! Absolutely the most tender/juicy corned beef ive ever had or made. The potatoes, carrots and cabbage took 10 minutes, howver soaked up the flavors from the corned beef and were delicious. Definitley recommend.

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
    The family LOVED it! I thought their might be leftovers… I was wrong!
    We will be making this again.

    3.5 lb. corned beef. Upped time to 75 min. Should have listened to original directions. Meat fell apart. Super tasty and tender. Veggies perfect. Doubbled carrots and made mashed potatoes on the stove. Will make again!!

    I followed the recipe to the T and the corned beef came out tough and the carrots are potatoes were mush. The only thing that was edible was the cabbage..

    Absolutely delicious!!!! Now I can have corn beef more often, it takes half the time to make it with the Insta pot!!!

    Very good. Cabbage and carrots were so well seasoned. Better than when I boiled them. I saved the broth to use as a soup starter

    This is the only one that called for just 1 cup of water….others called for4 which is ridiculous. Turned out great!!

    Followed the recepe to the t and it was great, 2.5lb corned beef 70min cooking time and 3 min veggies after. All cooked through, delicious meal. Will make again soon, hubby was so happy called me bonnie lass 🙂

    Cooked a 1.5 lb slab with extra garlic and a few shallots with 1 1/2 cups of water. Finished with veggies x 5 mins HP. Could not believe the incredible tastes. Bit of salt and butter to finish things off. Will be putting this on my list of favorites.

  16. Sigh1342
    Sigh1342 says:

    Could have used a couple more minutes for the beef, but otherwise it was excellent!

    Veggies were perfect at 3 minutes.

    Tent the meat while waiting for the veggies!

    baraldi says:

    You need far more than one cup of water. Cover the corned beef with water. Otherwise the corned beef will be much too salty.

  18. Alij625
    Alij625 says:

    So easy! Made a 4.5 lb roast so I bumped up the time to 90 min and I probably couldve used another 5-10 minutes. The vegetables turned out amazing!

    bamcmahan75 says:

    The best corned beef I have had. From home or restaurant. Trimmed some fat before cooking. Next tim I’ll trim more. I cooked it 80 minutes instead of 70. Full head of cabbage, pound of baby carrots, four large potatoes in 1/8s for 10 minutes which filled the pot. This is a kust for the Irish!

  20. Marlene99
    Marlene99 says:

    This was great. Better than Slow Cooking because Meat could be sliced accross the grain. Followed recipe exactly but did few things extra. Trimmed most of fat from Brisket (Glad I did!!). Fat adds flavor but too much fat ruins the dish. Put Trivet that came with I.P. in bottom which made it safe & easy to remove meat from hot broth. Be sure to COVER meat with foil while Vegetables are cooking in I.P. Cook time shown is short, so allow EXTRA time for 2 quick releases & prep.

    Added a turnip, 5 potatoes, 6 carrots, 4 and 1/2 pound brisket everything turned out perfect cook the brisket for 78 minutes potatoes and turnip and all that for 4

    It’s so easy and so good. I put a can of beer with the brisket, but I doubt it made a lot of difference. I served this to friends, having never tried it before. This recipe will be used many times again. I believe you will have the same result.

    2.9 pound cooked 70 per instructions. Little chewy. Cooked another 5.
    3 minutes for veggies. Any more would end up
    Mush.
    I used a bag of baby carrots. I cup water perfect since cooking produces another cup. Remove meat and cook veggies alone. Tasty and filling.

  24. HarrisonInstantPot18
    HarrisonInstantPot18 says:

    Delicious! I used 1 1/2 cup of water instead of 1 cup. I only cut the potatoes in quarters so they wouldn’t get overdone. I put tin foil on top of the corned beef, then put the potatoes on top. Cooked for 2 more minutes. All came out perfect!

    I added 1 1/2 c of water…otherwise followed the recipe and everything came out perfect !

    Getting ready to make this with a 4.25 lb brisket. Doing it at work for a St Patrick’s lunch for my coworkets. Curious: no one has said anything about whether to rinse it before putting it in the pot. Advice?

  27. Instant Pot
    Instant Pot says:

    If it was brined for a while, you can definitely rinse the brine off the brisket. Since it all cooks together some salt that penetrated the meat will be released and season the cabbage and vegetables.

  28. David R. Kennedy
    David R. Kennedy says:

    Terrific recipe. So easy and so tender. … I’m not a fan of mushy vegetables, so I used a steamer insert for them. They came out soft with a slight crunch.

    Alikair says:

    One cup got me a burn notice. Online searches called for 4 cups. I added a few more cups after i got the burn notice. Not sure if i used 4 total. The meat was tasty but the veggies took to long to reach pressure so they over cooked in 3 mins.
    One reviewer recommends adding enough water to cover the brisket. Will try that next time and use 0 mins for vegetables

    Jphillipsac says:

    I substituted sweet potatoes for white potatoes and it worked well. I’m amazed hiw quickly the sweet potatoes softened up.

  31. Linda102302
    Linda102302 says:

    8 oz potatoes is 2.5 which is not enough for the serving. Has anyone tripled the potatoes and carrots and if so how long did you cook?

  32. Theresa Fessler
    Theresa Fessler says:

    I made it using 8 medium to small red potatoes, quartered, 1 package baby carrots, and a whole medium cabbage cut into eighths. I put the potatoes in first then carrots then cabbage wedges on top, completey filling the pot. It took a while to reach pressure but all 3 items were completely cooked (poatoes and carrots very soft) w 3 min hi pressure.

    Quick,only added salt, pepper and mustard coat, turned out most flavorful, moist and delicious ever.

    This was awesome! So good flavors are wonderful together, I also added a whole sweet onion, sliced.

    Jenneh85 says:

    Made this today, came out juicy but salty, I should have put some potatoes in it to leech some of the salt. Only mistake I made was not covering the steam release valve with a towel an it ended up spraying my floor and counter with juices from the corned beef. All in all for a newbie I think I did pretty swell.

    Came out way too salty for me, next time I will use as much water as possible. Could have used a bit more time, too. Veggies were good.

    This was the first meal we made in the Instant Pot. It was delicious!! We’ll definitely make our corned beef in here every year!

  39. Brenther517
    Brenther517 says:

    Super delicious recipe and WAY faster than a crockpot. Followed this recipe exact with adding 20 more mins for 3.5 lbs. For the veggies we stacked the potatoes on bottom, carrots in the middle and last of course the cabbage on top. Dont add anymore water. Recommend this completely!!

  40. Dan1959
    Dan1959 says:

    When I removed the meat, after 70 minutes on the stew setting, the meat was too hard to eat. Maybe the recipe should have called for high pressure? My wife’s birthday meal was ruined and I ended up serving Dennison chili!

  41. Donnalikescoffee
    Donnalikescoffee says:

    Cook a lot longer!!! 70 min is not enough!! Cook for 115 to 120 minutes and then the meat is tender.

    This was the first time I ever tried this recipe. I followed the directions exactly as written. Everything came out great.

    Santa Dog says:

    This was the first meal that I made in my new IP. The flavor was very good, it was, however, just a little over done for us. Next time I think that I will adjust the cooking a little.

  44. Conradsmom
    Conradsmom says:

    Very easy and very good. I use a bottle of beer and a cup of chicken broth for the cooking liquid.

  45. Batcrazy
    Batcrazy says:

    Tried this recipe for our first time using our new IP. So easy and so good! Time for veggies was almost too long, would cut it back by a minute next time. Will definitely make this again!

    Just made a 4 1/2 lb brisket with a md cabbage, diced sm onion, package of sliced mushrooms, bag of baby carrots, & a small bag of baby red potatoes. Cooked it 75 & 3 minutes. Soooo tender, soooo good!!!!!

  47. Flakeyone
    Flakeyone says:

    One of our favorites. So easy and delicious.
    Tip. Leave beef in pot in juices when 70 minutes up. Meat dries out quickly. Another 5 minutes (3 too short) with veggies will keep it moist and hot.
