I have made this many time before, but I never documented it. Thought that I would take this opportunity to do so. Went in the pickle last Friday the 21st and I will be cooking it on Sunday or Monday. No smoke, just freshened/steamed.

Nope, no need to peel it first, I do the peeling/skinning after it cooks and cools a bit, stuff peels right off I'll post the pics soon-I lent my camera out and forgot to grab the SD card

Cold water, brought to a boil


Getting ready for the spa treatment-added a little water after this pic


Peeled and ready to chill-nice rosy pink


I don't have any sliced pics As I stated above, I had lent out my camera and it was sliced and vac packed during this time. Stuff is awesome on a Reuben sammy. Thanks for looking.

I find it amazing that beef tongue is selling for almost $4.00/lb!
