I'm just gonna say, for corned beef hash at home, you gotta cook it way longer to get it really crispy like they do at diners and such. The stoves in diners and restaurants have a much higher BTU, so they can get that hash crispy in 5-10 minutes. On a home stove it takes much longer. I usually cook it for about 12-15 minutes on medium high, flip it, and then do it for 12-15 more minutes. Yes, that's like 30 minutes just for hash, but it turns out super crispy, just like you get at a diner.

My dad was an organic chemist and consultant to the food industry. In the 70s, the FDA hired him to do a series of seminars for people who taught meat inspectors. First, they flew him around the country to take notes on seven different meat packing facilities. He said that by far, the cleanest and best run organization was Hebrew National, and the absolute worst was Hormel.

I worked for Hormel on the 80s. I'm sorry. I made the thing they called "Top Shelf" but now call Hormel Compleats.

Thank you!

[@HapaHabibi]

Reading through the comments makes me really happy. Growing up my Grandpa always made us corn beef it was Libby's in a square can. And instead of dicing the potatoes he always cubed them into larger pieces, as an adult I've learned that it's a lot easier to cook with diced potatoes but for me I always cube them as a way of remembering him now that he's passed. Thanks for posting the video and cheers to everyone in the comments, I'm definitely taking some notes on new options.

[@markfergerson2145]

Most companies that make products like this buy pre-diced frozen potatoes from the same supplier, Simplot, in 50 lb bags. That's why the potatoes in different brands of corned beef hash all look the same. I learned this when I worked for a freeze-dried food manufacturer long ago. Simplot sells smaller bags in grocery stores now, but I cut whole potatoes larger when I make it too. Seems homier somehow.

[@5610winston]

@@mikesphat I use a leftover baked potato cut into rough cubes, skin on. Dice an onion, sautee with some thyme and rosemary a pinch of salt and when it starts to brown add the potatoes, fresh-ground black pepper and continue the sautee until the potatoes start to break down and brown, add diced deli-sliced corned beef (once corned beef is sealed in a can, it should stay there, likewise canned corned beef hash), toss and allow it to brown, turn and brown some more, serve topped with a poached egg.

Hormel was always my go to as a kid to fry up with some eggs, as my parents left for work early and I was left to myself for breakfast. Some hash and eggs beat cereal every day. In fact, it's still a running gag between me and my grandmother, who gives me a can on certian special occasions. She grew up during the depression, so her recipes were simple and easy for me to learn... and probably why I enjoy watching your channel as well. I've since learned to cook all fancy, but I still keep a stockpile of corned beef hash in case of emergency ;) oh, and some green peppers from the garden (or canned earlier in the season) with the eggs really balances out the flavor of the meal altogether.

Going heavier on the cooking oil gives you more crust. Also, you can chop up an onion and fry it alongside your hash, and add a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and MSG to make the whole thing even tastier. I'll sometimes round it out by frying some slices of stewed tomatoes alongside as well, though those need to be fried for much longer than the hash does in order to develop the char you want to see on a tomato slice. The corned beef hash I favor is the Aldi store brand "Brookdale" corned beef hash, in large part on cost.

[@MistyMightBeManicShaklefor7416]

Gordon Food Service has a 50oz. can (Hearthstone brand) that tastes amazing. I cut out both ends, slide it out, and slice into patties. Very finely dice some onion & green pepper, saute until soft, press into the patty. I fry it up in ghee, which has a high smoke point (no burning) and get a buttery - not greasy flavor. * ghee is shelf stable rendered/clarified butter with no milk solids. Aldi carries it. You can get it at an Indian grocery store, too. Lasts a long time. Try frying scrambled eggs in it..yum! Very buttery.

[@dangingerich2559]

I've always had the eggs mixed in with the hash. Love it that way. Put the hash in a pan and heat it until it reaches the point of sizzling, but not quite browning. Add 2 eggs for a small can, 3 or 4 for a big can, depending on taste, then keep mixing while cooking until the mixture become crumbly. yummy. Slap it on a tortilla with a piece of american cheese, and it makes for a great breakfast.

I'm in the Mary's Kitchen (Hormel) camp here, and eat it somewhat regularly as I have my whole life. That cast iron pan really seems to speed up and help the crusting.

We never had corned beef hash when I was a kid. I was an adult when I finally tried some for myself. I remember seeing Gilligan feeding it to the lion and had no idea what it was.

A good recipie: Fry corned beef with white onions black pepper green chillies, grate carrots and fry with white onion black pepper and green chillies, serve with rice. Garnish with lemon or lime juice and chopped coriander. cheap easy to make tasty and filling. Thank you for all the superb videos over the years Mr Wolfe Pit.

Thanks, I'll be getting some of the Libby's. We grew up with corned beef hash from cans. However, at my parents' home, they baked it in casserole dishes, with perhaps some tomato paste atop - and even an egg (sometimes) Thanks for doing this taste comparison, so I don't have to! (I am old enough to realize that the recipes for the brands have changed over time!)

[@donskiver]

The one thing I learned from this is that I definitely overcook my corned beef hash. I've been flipping and stirring so that it was crispy all throughout. Still tasted delicious, especially on toast. Might have to try cooking it your way.

[@gerria2000]

I thought at first that he was saying to cook it for 45 minutes. Would definitely have been crisp!

[@joe18750]

Funny, I thought just the opposite. Under cooked corned beef gives all corned beef a bad name. From what I saw in this video, he was about half way to done.

[@tookitogo]

Regarding whether the store brand is made by Hormel: As a meat product, aren’t the cans required to have a production facility code on them? (I think there’s a USDA identification code for each plant.) If so, the two cans would have the same facility code. Doesn’t guarantee it’s the same recipe (though it’s likely), but does tell you who made it. I also think there’s a website where one can look up the codes.

[@joanbelmont5450]

Interesting 🤔 makes sense.

[@artszabo1015]

Thank you for a great video. Now let me give you a tip. Before you open the can turn it upside down and punch a small hole in the bottom near the edge. Now open the can as normal and hold it upside down over your skillet and blow in the hole sealing your lips tight against the can. 100% of the hash just slides out in one piece into the HOT skillet.

I never thought the Libby's brand would taste better overall. I've eaten the Hormel brand corned beef hash for many years, and had no problems with it. I'll have to give the Libby's brand one another chance someday. I cook my corned beef hash way differently than you do. I know you're not supposed to mix it while cooking, but that's what I do. I like the corned beef to have the texture of bacon bits and the potatoes cooked almost crispy. I like it that way.

[@bradleyheck7204]

I like the potatoes crispy or crunchy, too. I try to maximize BCBs (Brown Crunchy Bits) without burning anything.

Hormel makes Great Value (Walmart) and Brookdale (Aldi) so they probably do Food Lion also. If you look for the est number stamped on the can, that is the plant it came from. I eat the GV kind all the time with a couple of sunny side up eggs.

[@KevinWilliams-c2p]

When i make it i put the hash in the fridge for about an hour then i slice it into patties then put the slices into a skillet with enough oil to cover them cook them over medium heat add sliced onion and garlic powder when done drain them in colander with several layers of paper towels been doing it for years

Like your videos. I worked for Carnation for 10 years. Any US company that cans meat for human consumption has to be USDA inspected. They are assigned an ":Establishment Code". Carnation's was 705. It will be stamped on one end of the can. So regardless of label or brand, everything coming out of that plant will have the same est code. By-the-way, Libby's in Nestle, who also bought Carnation in 1986.

Hormel's always been my favorite I've tried a couple others but can't recall exactly which ones I'll have to try Libby's I guess I did notice that it's alot more expensive than it used to be. Not just because of inflation. Even before that

[@missnewbienoob]

I knew that Libby's was going to be the best. I'm not a big fan of their veggie line, but their canned meals and meats beat Armour and Hormel ANY DAY. I buy Libby's Country Sausage Gravy by the case. Back when I could eat anything, I'd go through a case every 6 or so weeks. Now, a year lol. (But I'm also down 125 pounds.) Libby's line isn't just salty, it legit has flavor. Love the hash, love the gravy. For the gravy I will fry up some skillet potatoes with onions and smother them. And with hash, I'll get it crisp, then scramble me an egg, and then toss it all together to make a "bowl" as restaurants like to call it today. Back 30 years ago, my mom just called it "lazy." Either way, it's cheap. Flavorful. And filling.

[@ron2823]

Oh no! I don't think Hy-Vee carries the Libby's line, they have their own Hy-Vee everything.

I also have one can of corned beef, not hash, that comes in a rectangular can with an attached key to open it. It's Clover Valley brand from Dollar General, and made in Brazil.

I've been cooking mine in the air fryer for about a year. Line the lower rack with foil, lightly coat with avacado oil and spread out the hash. Cook at 400* for 10 minutes, then stir/flip and cook 8 more minutes. The minimal interaction required gives me time to make the coffee and eggs so everything is done about the same time. I use the Mary Kitchen hash and hit it with a little SPOGB (salt, pepper, onion, garlic, & powdered butter). My favorite corned beef has was at the Cracker Barrel, but they no longer have it on the menu.... I may have to give Libby's a try now

[@michellew2422]

Here's my take, My wife had a thing for crispy fully cooked CB Hash in a patty. I was never that crazy about it (too many Boy Scout campouts I guess). So I started playin', Diced small onion or 1/2 a medium one 2/3 or 3/4 caramelized with your fat or oil, the rest in a bowl with the CB. Add the rest of the onions and two raw eggs. (I generally buy extra large). Mix like meatloaf. Bland? Freshly ground black pepper is your friend! Form into patties and cook like a burger.
