What does the orange juice do? I'm skeptical. I only make about 1 corned beef a year and I don't want to make it and hate it! How is it different from the regular?

I put neutral because we are trying this today, I'm glad almost all of the reviews are great! and I wasn't sure when you meant cover with water for 30 minutes, But I'm kinda soaking it... So, hopefully it will taste great! :D

This is the best corned beef recipe I have tried. The OJ gives the meat a citrusy flavor, but most importantly, makes the meat tender and juicy. I used the spice packet as well as the spicy mustard, pepper, and garlic suggested in earlier comments. I made this for new years and added potatoes, carrots, and onions. The OJ gave the potatoes too strong of a sweet, tangy flavor that would go better with sweet potatoes. I'm making this again today and will make the potatoes separately since hubby doesn't like sweet potatoes. He raved about the corned beef last time and had no idea that the secret was OJ!

I am 1/2 Irish and this is bar none the best corned beef I have ever eaten. Easy and so flavorful. I added H2O to top off meat with OJ and garlic, mustard, etc. will only make it this way in the future.

Delicious beyond description! Easy to do. I added nothing but a 1/4 cup of water at the bottom, a sprinkle of pepper, the 12 oz. can of thawed OJ, and cooked on low for 11 hours. Hubby's words "Mmmmm this is outrageous".

Happy New Years! I made this recipe for New Years last year and it was so good I am making it again this year. I add a little sliced onions and garlic and it is awesome!

I wanted a different twist on corned beef and was too busy on the farm to babysit the stove all day. I read the reviews and improvised a bit. We're a diabetic family so OJ concentrate was out. I used Crystal Light Orange flavor, made it double strength, one packet to a half quart instead of a quart. Whisked in 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard. Added rough chopped medium onion to the pot, the corned beef with juice, topped w spice packet and pepper. The orange drink came level with the top of the roast so I left it at that. Cooked on high 5 hours. At the 3 hour mark I added 6 medium peeled halved Yukon Gold potatoes. Delicious recipe and the manthings loved it! Thanks so much, everyone, we will have this fox it and forget it delicious dinner again, and again! ;-)
