Confirmed: sous vide is an effective alternate way to cook corned beef. [Not pastrami, as I incorrectly wrote yesterday, but I am sure it would work there too.] The downside is that it took 26 hours (at 170 F). It is tender but still has some structure - perfect for sandwiches.

26 hrs? I'll pressure cook.

I didn't want to use our Instant Pot because I was making a cheesecake in it.

How did the cheesecake turn out? Not that I'll ever make one, because I don't like it.

Very well! This was the third time I had made the recipe; this was not quite as good as the second time, but I think I have it dialed in now. I like cheesecake but don't generally make it because it's fiddlier than I want to do. However, using the pot isn't too bad and it produces an above-average result.
