Straight out of the plastic package with the reddened brine and the little packet of pickling spices to spread on top. Corned beef does look a lot better if you elevate it on a rack in the roasting pan, above the juices it exudes. Maybe someday I'll find a corned-beef brisket that's better/more complex in flavor. Likely it'll be a long search.
