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.

 dutch oven on the stovetop. cover with water, add pickling
spices, cover, simmer so low it's barely bubbling. usually a
couple to several hours. when tender add cabbage, carrots,
potatoes and cook until veggies done.
 i know some people who put the brisket in a very hot oven for
15-20 minutes to dry the surface up a bit after simmering. did
it a few times but eventually i got used to the texture and
don't anymore.
 the only other way we cook corned beef is low and slow on a
smoker to make pastrami for reuben sandwiches.
 

I've corned a brisket and then smoked it for pastrami. Forget the time at least a week to 10 days.  It was good, but buying corned beef is a lot easier and faster.
