The wife thinks she's saving money by buying two pounds of corned beef
brisket at $2.69/pound. However, it takes 2 hours to bake at 350F.

2 hours? *Corned beef is usually pre-cooked, warmed or eaten from the
package. Check the label.

It's pre-cooked if you buy it at the deli counter or in a can.
If you buy a brisket, it's raw beef that has been brined and
it comes in a plastic packaged surrounded by the brine.
You braise it for a couple hours, as he indicated.

Also, you don't have to do it in the oven. You can simmer
it in a pot on the range. So,, if Banter has a gas range,
that is probably the most cost effective way.
