Corn Beef too salty
I will be making a corn beef for the weekend. I am thinking to boiling the corn beef and changing the water a few times to eliminate the saltiness. Will this method change the taste of the corn beef? What is your method of making the corn beef less salty?

Why was the pumpkin pie wet?
I also make the Libby recipe. The pie had to stand 20 minutes on a rack and then refrigerated. The custard was soft the first day and on Thanksgiving it was fine. Perhaps covering the pie with plastic may have caused the moisture.
