Corned beef used to be a weekend only treat for me due to how long it took to cook, until I discovered the Instant Pot®. Save yourself time and hassle by letting your Instant Pot® do all of the work for you, and in a fraction of the time. You can have it and all of the fixings on your table in 2 hours. If you decide to fix cabbage, be sure to keep it in large wedges so that it does not overcook.

Tips:

For a more flavorful corned beef, marinate it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the meat.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot or roasting pan. Just be sure that it's large enough to hold the corned beef and all of the liquid.
To make sure the corned beef is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The internal temperature should read 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you're using a slow cooker, cook the corned beef on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours.
Serve the corned beef with your favorite sides, such as boiled potatoes, cabbage, and carrots.
