No! I have made countless corned beefs and they are much better than store bought. Corned beef is so easy to make: Water/salt 8/1 ratio. Enough to cover the brisket 1 TBSP Potasium Nitrate (To retain color) 1 Bottle McCormicks Pickling Spice 6-8 crushed cloves of garlic Dried Thai chillies to taste. Keep the brine and submerged brisket in a shallow covered plastic or glass pan for 2 weeks. DONT USE METAL! I usually flip the brisket every 4 days but it's probably not necessary. and WAH - LAH!!!

If I cook it in the oven I use a covered pan with a good lid. I put it into a 250F oven overnight. You could put a can of beer in with it but no more liquid than that.

After you take it from the oven you must let it sit for a couple hours for the geletan to set and make it easy to slice.

Never ever throw away the fat from a corned beef. Render it down till crispy and eat it with cold beer. Keep the rendered liquid fat and use it to fry other things. It gives an amazing flavor.

Also put your cardiologist's phone number on speed dial.
