Question

Late but curious...Isn't the point of "boiling" the corned beef to reduce the salt content?  I don't know the answer to this, but I always figured that was the reason for cooking in water.  If that is the case, though, wouldn't oven cooked be too salty?  Maybe I should have put this in as a new question???

I would go with the oven. And yes I think four hours at 300° is fine. Good luck

Okay, me again. If it were to be cooked stovetop, is 4hours at a low simmer a good amount of time?
