Just another note , If you still have these soaking , change the water a few times like Braz said above .
I was in the middle of typing when you posted above . What does the sodium percent say on the label . That's a daily value percent per serving size .
Yeah , I asked before he posted that , but I have a web site that you can look up nutrition labels and you can change the serving size to see what the values are . Didn't know if it was ok to post a link to that are not .That says 1160 Mg of Sodium------48% Daily Recommendation."
You took suggestions and made it work . Had a back up plan to boot . Might be your first corned beef , but newbie ?Lots of learning curve details this weekend for a newbie..
