Notes
- For optimal tenderness, always place the fat side of the corned beef brisket up in the Instant Pot.
- Ensure the brisket is fully submerged in broth to prevent drying out during pressure cooking. If not fully covered, add more broth.
- The internal temperature for perfectly cooked corned beef should reach 160°F (71°C).
- Leftover corned beef can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
