Corned beef was NEVER on the table when I was child and the
first time I can remember eating it was on the gambling
riverboat in Metropolis, Illinois.  It was delicious and
tender enough to cut it with a fork.  Then it was probably
another 20 years before I had it again and cooked it according
to the directions of my Ninja Foodi pressure cooker.  Following
the recommended cooking time, it had a good flavor, but brother
was it tough!  I've not been inspired to cook it again, but if
I ever get a hankering for it; I will definitely cook it for
at least double the time called for.

I've found the best way to get corned beef brisket tender is low and slow in the crock pot.

Yes - that's what I do, too.
 

A regular oven works just fine as well, but you can't turn it up to 400 degrees and cook it in 30 minutes. Cook it as you would a pork butt, slow and covered most of the time.
Crock pots also work, at least the very old ones. I don't know about newer units which are said to be set at higher temperatures.
