Is this the right color for corned beef? I am using the Morton's Tender Quick recipe. It says 5 days of curing per inch of thickness. This has been curing for 9.5 days. I think the thickest part was only about 1.25 inches. So, it should have been curing plenty of time. But, I can't tell by the color if the middle is cured properly.
And, yes. This is going in the crockpot. Sorry. I wanted to smoke it. But, this is my first time to try corned beef and I didn't want to go off the rails with it. The recipe calls for a dutch oven. But, it's too big. I had to cut this in half just to fit it in the crockpot as well as I did.
