Looking for a comforting winter dinner the whole family can enjoy? IGA Corned Silverside is an Aussie favourite to cook up at home!
When the weather cools down, families tend to crave something warming and hearty, and IGA Corned Silverside is just the thing. Ready to cook, it is cured in a traditional brine that helps keep the meat deliciously moist while creating the distinctive flavour and pink colour silverside is known for.
Corned Silverside is a trusted winter go-to because it doesn’t require a lot of fuss. Just pop it on the stove and let it simmer away low and slow. The result is tender, tasty beef, ready to slice and serve piping hot with your favourite sides. Better yet, any leftovers are perfect for sandwiches, wraps and toasties the next day.
Affordable, easy to prepare and packed with good old-fashioned comfort, it’s easy to see why silverside remains a favourite in so many Australian homes.
Reviewers are currently put IGA Corned Silverside to the test at home. Selected applicants have received a $20 IGA voucher to pick up a fresh (raw) silverside at their local IGA. After cooking it up, they’ll come back and share their rating and review.
IGA Corned Silverside is a great family dinner for everyone, we all enjoyed it and it's so delicious, tender and moist, easy to eat for the young and old! It is also a great source of iron and protein, easy to cook and ready quickly, especially on easy evenings. Would definitely buy again!

I love how simple & easy silverside is to cook. This meat was beautiful. There was no fat on it. It was a great cut of meat! The flavour was mouth watering. I will definitely be purchasing meat from iga in the future. I highly encourage others to get down to their local iga !

I loved it. I remember eating this as a kid, my mum would boil it. I decided to try something different and cooked it in the slow cooker. It was moist and delicious even my husband and son (10) loved it and asked for more (and they’ve tried my mum’s before and didn’t like it). Value for money as we had quite a bit leftover and had more for dinner the next night and 2 lunches out of it. Will differently be buying again.

Once I purchased the silverside from IGA I cooked it the following day. I put it in the slow cooker in the morning on low all day with onions and garlic cloves. It smelt amazing in the house as it cooked. When we had it for dinner it was so tender and perfectly cooked, I served it with mashed potatoes, cheesy vegetables and a nice white sauce. It was an absolute favourite and the kids loved it too!!

This was a good eye opener to corned silverside cuts. We had this Asian infused corned silverside. I did this in the Thermomix and it was super simple and delicious with rice (or by itself). I just left it to do its work and after 2.5 hrs it was ready and dinner is set.

One of the best warmer meals, or just general family dinners, is a slow cooked corned beef (silverside).
I recently picked up a nice slice of corned beef from my local IGA and prepared at home, which was a family favourite (even for my very picky toddler and 4 year old). IGA had such a large selection to choose from, and it is super simple to grab on the go and then prepare at home for a budget friendly and flavoursome dinner!
The recipe is simple:
1x corned beef (approx 1.2-1.8kg)
1 cup of brown vinegar
1 cup of brown sugar
2-4 bay leaves
6 black peppercorns
2-4 diced carrots
1 quartered large onion.
Mix all the ingredients together in your pot and then fill with water to above the top of the beef. I use a slow cooker and cook for a minimum of 6 hours (you can also stove top cook on medium heat for 5-6 hours).
Once cooked, simply remove and drain from the pot (you can also use the pickled carrot and onion as a side) and accompany with your choice of sauce. Cheese sauce is the best option!
Super simple and yummy dinner sorted. Flavoursome and a hearty meal for the whole family to enjoy!

I’ve waited to cook this until I was visiting my grandkids to get a 3 generational opinion. The kids lapped it up, which is quite a high rating. It’s difficult to get them to consume enough protein. We adults all enjoyed it. Cooked in a slow cooker with vegetables. It was a little tough in parts but the flavour was great. I recall silverside has always been a little tough, going all the way back to my childhood. It was a very economical meal. When I purchased it, it was on special for $10/kg. It will feed all of us at least twice.
4 stars for me!

We were lucky to try out the corned beef from IGA. It was $10 kg on special at the time so great value for money.
We haven’t bought or cooked this ourselves before so we looked up online how to and tried the boiling method. I think next time we might try the slow cooker and see how that goes instead.
When we dished it up, it was nice and salty and had a good flavor. Although some bits were a bit fatty and we had to cut them off. The next few bits we tried were tender and tasty.
I made a simple mustard sauce to go with it which paired well. Such a great easy meal for the winter months which warms you up and keeps you full.

As a busy single mum of 4, I like to shortcut as much as possible. I put my silverside in the slow cooker with ginger ale, and cooked for approx 6 hours. It was perfectly cooked, nice pink colour and sliced beautifully. I served it in brioche hot dog rolls with a fresh kaleslaw salad & dressing. Quick, easy and satisfying! Great silverside, thanks Mouths of Mums :)

Loved that the timing of this review lined up with the product being on special and the weather turning colder.
Was able to get a piece large enough to easily feed 3 with plenty left over for cold cuts and corned beef hash.
Made it the way I remembered having it growing up, including the essential mustard sauce.
The piece I bought had been butchered a little bit, needed a tidy up and trim of cartilage and excess fat.
Cooked it how I always have and got a good result like I expected; it may be common with corned beef now, but it lacked any intensity of flavour, like a watered-down version of how corned beef used to taste.
Not terrible enough to not recommend or buy again, just made me aware of how much flavour I needed to add to supplement it.
Great buy for budget conscious shoppers, recreating a loved classic or trying something new.

Thai corned silveeside was such an easy meal to cook in the middle of the week. The meat was amazing not fatty at all but unfortunately it was way too salty and this kind of made it really hard to eat. Not sure we would buy this again from IGA.

This IGA corned silverside has a great flavour, good texture, and is excellent value for money. It’s just as good as, if not better than, some of the more expensive brands I’ve tried. I’ll definitely be buying it again. I unfortunately didn’t manage to get a photo of the cooked meat as my family dug into it way too quickly, but can guarantee that it was absolutely worth the money!

I bought a beautiful large 1.6 kilo piece of corned silverside from my local IGA at Baringa Qld. It was on special at $16.28.

IGA’s Raw Silverside has a great taste and texture, firm but not chewy. I cooked mine in a pressure cooker and served it with mashed potato, peas and white sauce, the family loved it.
It is great value for money which means it doesn’t have to be served as a one off luxury meal this Winter.
I bought a 1.5kg piece which was enough for dinner and leftovers over for a second meal. Any thoughts I had of serving it again the next night were dashed by lunchtime the following day when there were multiple requests for silverside and pickle sandwiches.

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.
With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.
“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.
She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.
Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.
“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.
So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.
“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.
But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.
The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.
“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”
She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.
“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”
It’s The Little Things That Add Up
For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.
“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.
But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.
“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.
Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.
“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”
But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.
And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.
With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.
That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.
But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.
And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”
The Only Mop You’ll Need
Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.
“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”
After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.
“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”
For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.
“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”
Her final verdict?
“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.
This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.
Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!
Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.
This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
