I never make corned beef, and now have a 20 pound corned beef for Yom Tov. What am I supposed to do with it? I obviousl can't boil it in a pot. Should I put it in a large pan with water in the oven? Cut it in half and cook?
Ideas please. I'm lost on this one.

You can slow roast it in the oven for about 24 hours. Warning: it will shrink significantly.

I vote you cut it and cook it on the stovetop. Or borrow an enormous pot and cook it whole.
It will need to be cut before you serve it,
so why not cut it beforehand?

if it's corned beef, doesn't that mean that it was pickled?

I agree. you don't need to slice it, but just cut it into a few pot sized pieces.

I hope you are having a lot of company. LOL

I would do the same on low flame make sure it has water
if its pickled then it spiced already if its not spice it a little

Yes, it's pickled.
So the vote is to defrost a little, cut, and cook? Better than doing in the oven in a roaster?
I'm afraid to cook it for 24 hours.
What about a sauce? No raisins.

I just boil it if it's already pickled. You can boil it for a bit, pour off the water, add sauce and water and continue cooking.
there are a few recipes here - search for corned beef.
