Pressed Corned Beef

Take six pounds of the brisket of beef, remove the bones and tie it tightly in a cloth. Put it in a kettle and cover with cold water. Simmer gently for five hours. When done, take out, place it between two tin sheets or large plates, put a heavy weight upon it over night. Remove the cloth and it is ready for use.
