Cook the corned beef on low for at least 8 hours, or until it is tender. You can also cook it on high for 4-6 hours, but the meat will be more tender if you cook it on low.
Serve the corned beef with your favorite sides, such as cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. You can also make a delicious corned beef sandwich with rye bread and your favorite toppings.
