Desalinated for about 14 hours IIRC. I did a few water changes along the way.
Ran about 7-8 hours SV.
The bagged half came out with the right flavor and was not exactly the texture I was looking for, but once it chilled overnight the texture improved to close enough. I think I'll lengthen the cook time when I do this again. A larger cut would need more desalination time - this one just barely makes the cut for salt levels in my tastes.
The unbagged half came out super tender, and the texture I was pretty much looking for, but super bland. It basically just tastes like a mild roast. Probably would not do it this way again. Or, if I did, I'd skip the desalination.
And, with about a pound left to eat, I am officially sick of corned beef now for the next few months. ugh..
