The Food Lab's Guide to Corned Beef and the Science of Simmering

I really love corned beef. Its salty, spicy, beefy flavor always reminds me of eating a hot dog in the shape of a steak, and who wouldn't love that? Yum.

With St. Patrick's Day around the corner, this week's Mixed Review, is on the official Guinness Bread Mix. Beer bread mixes are usually pretty simple to throw together, but this one was a bit more involved. It required additions of butter, milk, beer, molasses, and (optional) raisins.
